A Japanese company called Interlink [JP] is organizing a contest to find potentially lucrative future gTLDs (generic top-level domains). And the best thing is that the “World Domain Cup” is open to everyone with the contest’s dedicated web page being available in English, Japanese and Chinese.
Controlled (and restricted) by the ICANN, gTLDs currently in use are domains such as .com, .biz, .aero, .info etc. What Interlink is now looking for is a killer idea for a new gTLD, as the ICANN plans to give the green light for a broader range of these domains in the near future.
If you submit your idea to Interlink and if the TLD really gets accepted by the ICANN later, Interlink will give you $10,000 in cash, followed by $1 for each domain registration for the next 10 years. Not bad at all.
Virtually everybody can apply here (you have time till the end of September). It should just take a minute to fill out the form once you have an idea for a cool domain name.
Interlink says the lucky winner (whose name will be announced November 30) can make $80 million if the new TLD becomes as popular as .com, but come on, that will not happen.

This gives us a great incentive and fun opportunity to get our creative juices flowing!
FIY the TLD for Mexico .MX is officially going live this September!
Anyone looking for single-word popular keyword .MX domains including ZAPATOS.MX, BANCO.MX, BICICLETAS.MX, VITAMINAS.MX, FARMACIAS.MX… can contact me direct at rec3@cox.net
(There are Millions of Mexican Nationals living in Mexico and Abroad, including in the USA, Canada, Europe and Asia! )
Good luck to all!
So i registered, one other person thought of my idea, so the prize gets split amongst all the people that choose that tdl. Have a feeling alot more may pick the same thing. But money’s money
Wait, so do we have to pay to apply for the forum?
and it says until the end of September and now It’s November and I just recently found this site…
Can someone get back to me?
Can I still apply? and does it cost anything to apply?
Thanks.
