Search Engine Optimization Contest - Do you have what it takes?

Now this is novel. DarkBlue has launched a contest to see who is the best individual SEO out there. I've pasted some brief details below, but you can get more information at the DarkBlue site.

* SEO Challenge is a competition open to all Webmasters and SEOs.
* Inspired by the debates about High Risk Vs. Low Risk SEO the competition is designed to sort the Players from the Stayers and possibly prove which method works better.
* The competition runs for two months and is judged at two stages, giving away two prizes.
* An iPod will be given to the "Player" who is at the top of the SERPs one month after the launch - 9am GMT 7th of June.
* A Sony 17 inch Flat Screen monitor will be given to the "Stayer" who is at the top of the SERPs two months after the launch - 9am GMT the 7th of July.
* If the Player wins the Stayer prize that person will walk away with both prizes.
* The competition search term will be announced in the SearchGuild thread May 7th 9am GMT.

Oh what fun. Good luck to all of you who enter, may the best person win!
