Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Amazon is looking to make one city great again by building a second headquarters for up to 50,000 employees with an avg compensation package exceeding $100k. You can read the RFP for their site requirements here:

Over 50 cities are expected to submit a proposal. Proposals are due by October 19th. A short list is expected to be announced by the end of the year with the winning proposal announced early 2018.
Contest rules: Pretty simple. Predict which city will land HQ2. You may only chose 1 city and you may not chose a city that has already by picked. If you post a city that has already been posted, you’ll have to repick or be ineligible. Also, you cannot change your pick. Once you post your pick, you’re locked in.
Prize: $50 (back). Can pay through Venmo, PayPal, cash in envelope, or Firecoin
People who are not eligible: Unfortinately there are a few select members of this forum who I deem will not be eligible for this contest, mostly scammers and other unscrupulous members. They are: Anybody with fewer than 99 posts as of today, Mumbles, Bryan Micon, TheSparten, Jasep, 4Dragons, and OSA. I regret to inform these members that there is no appeals process.
Contest deadline is whenever Amazon makes the final selection. Yes, you can wait for the short list to be official, but by then all the cities may already be picked.
