SlideAware has two components. First, there’s a add-in you add to your PowerPoint toolbar (it doesn’t work for Office 2007 yet, so we couldn’t test this component). The add-in lets you zap your PowerPoint presentations directly to the SlideAware service.

Jonathan Boutelle of SlideShare told us about this awesome contest they have on their site. It’s called the World’s Best Presentation Contest, and all you need to do is upload your PowerPoint presentation to the SlideShare site.

Thereafter, a selection of judges comprising presentation gurus will decide the winners. The judges are Guy Kawasaki, Bert Decker, Garr Reynolds, and Jerry Weissman.

The point of this contest is to shine a spotlight on well-designed presentations and to highlight the creative and effective use of PowerPoint. If you’ve got a killer slide deck, this might be your chance to make it big! says Rashmi Sinha, CEO of SlideShare.
