This week, we’re kicking off a “Hot Topic of the Week” series.

How it works: One topic is designated each week, and each person who asks a question relating to that topic will be eligible to win a prize. Topics are chosen from your suggestions in the community wiki below.

How to enter: Ask a question relating to the topic of the week, and tag it accordingly (this week, use the tag). Each question you ask will get you one entry into a random drawing to win an iPhone accessory(s) of your choice ($100 max).

This round will begin today (Dec. 23) and end on Monday (Jan. 2).

Update: Congratulations to Allen Chao for winning this week! Thank you everyone who participated. The weekly hot topic challenge is on hold for the next week. Please continue to add suggestions for upcoming weeks below!

    Is everybody eligible or are there geographic restrictions?

    Also: is it possible to advertise this on the site? I've seen small banners on philosophy.sx

  • Just an FYI: This holiday weekend has been relatively slow. We'll see if things pick up soon, but you may want to consider extending this 'week' a little longer.

  • Just curious: How is are the entries "collected" and how is the drawing done?

  • @Agos Everyone is indeed eligible, and there is a community banner ad on the side of the site up.

  • @Moshe entries are sorted by the appropriate tag- one entry is chosen randomly.

Anyone can edit this! If you've got an idea, add it to the list.

Broad Topic Ideas

  • iOS 5
  • OS X Lion
  • next iDevice (after the actual product launch, of course), e.g. iPad 3
  • iCloud

Narrow Topic Ideas

    Added some tags for the contest ideas. Wasn't sure about those I left open, hopefully someone will tag them too. I think it's good to add tags for the topics already while suggesting: if the hot week topic can't be properly tagged, how could it be a good topic anyway? (And of course it is more practical for the contest manager to have the tags in advance.)

This sounds like a great idea!

The model would fit perfectly for our site, especially given the wealth of apps and accessories that would make perfect prizes.

I saw what happened on Andorid and was secretly hoping that you guys would offer to do something similar with us :)

I'm posting a separate CW answer for topic ideas.
