Here I'll be posting information on various Bot contests that challenge and test a Bot's AI and realism. Feel free to post comments and updates on contests, as well as announcements for new contests.

I must be some sort of glutton for punishment, but I'm sending in my Loebner application in the next day or two. If you're going to enter, it probably takes a week or so to get mail to the UK, so you only have a couple days left.
There's an open discussion on everything this year at the Robitron group at Yahoo. The group is no longer owned by Robby. You can sign on here:

I just filled out the form. It's very easy to complete. You dont need to put together a transcript, which is doubly a good thing- first, it saves time, and second, that means that judges will actually be chatting with your bot to decide the finalists.
Here are a few fields I can help with:
If web-enabled, give it's web address: (this can be found under "My Bots" and then under "Link")
If your entry contains intellectual property...:
WordNet- yes
LinkGrammar- yes
Personality Forge- yes
Hardware: Apple Macintosh
Operating System: OS X 10.2
Languageinterpreters...: PHP, MySQL, Perl
POSTAGE from the US:
To send it AirMail, which is by far the best option, put three 37ยข stamps on it, write AIRMAIL on the envelope, and stick it in your box. Mailing time is 4-7 days.

I asked, and you can fax your application to them.
The fax number is +44 (0)1483 689550
Any idea how I'd dial that?

the +44 is England so you won't need that code, you'll need the exit code from US that's all... Can't remember it tho, but yeah its something like 01, 011
I entered God Louise. I don't think she stands a chance this year due to the new rules, but I also knew I'd kick myself if I didn't.
I hope Polish Poet and Brianna McKenzie go in. You might be able to attend the contest personally! Believe me, that is a worthwhile experience if you can do it. (And judging from this year's contest site, you might actually be able to find the room number without breaking into a locked cabinet in a disused lavatory with no lights and a sign on the door reading 'Beware of the Leopard.')
