A $5,000 award will be given to the creators of the open source Content Management System (CMS) that gets most votes from the public.  That is the idea behind the Open Source CMS Award 2006, offered by IT book publisher Packt Publishing. 

Everyone can submit their favourite open source CMS at http://www.packtpub.com/nominations/.  The nomination process ends on September 1st 2006.  The five CMS with the most nominations will continue to the second stage of the competition, where they will be voted for for by a panel of three judges. A final fourth vote will come from the results of a public vote on www.PacktPub.com. Voting closes at the beginning of November, with the winner of the award announced later that month.

The winning CMS will get US $5,000, the second will get US $3,000 and the third placed finalist will get US $2,000. The jury consists of independent experts from the fields of software engineering and IT business.
