But then again, maybe I could win the judges over with an essay that says: "Winning the contest and $25K of Yahoo! Search Marketing would help my company succeed because with it we could generate at least another $25K of adSense revenue." ;) Well I have adSense ads on my site, so I think it’s safe to say that would be “advertising for competitors of the Sponsor” no matter how that is interpretted.

Or does that mean entrants can't display advertising for any product or service that competes with a Yahoo! product or service (travel site, fantasy football site, etc)? In fact, any online ad or affiliate program could technically be construed as a competitor to the Yahoo Publisher Network. Here’s an interesting eligibility requirement:
