How to enter
Entry has three required steps. All three are necessary — there is no shortcut path.
Step 1 — Download and install Asteris for WordPress Free from WordPress.org on a real WordPress site you operate (your own or a client’s, with permission). Activate the plugin.
Step 2 — Write a 50-word answer to: “Why do you want Asteris Founder?” Genuine, specific entries that reference your site and the pain points Asteris solves win. Vague, generic, or AI-generated entries are not eligible.
Step 3 — Email your entry to [email protected] with the subject line Competition entry — [your name] and include:

Eligibility: Open to anyone 18+ who runs a real WordPress site and has installed Asteris for WordPress Free. No purchase required — Asteris for WordPress Free is free on WordPress.org.
How winners are selected: Entries are judged on specificity, relevance, and clarity of the 50-word answer. Winners selected at the close of the Founder 500 phase.
