Grand Prize Winner: CandiceJ

CandiceJ's winning Shakespeare re-telling plot: The Merchant of Venice retold in the modern world of television and internet businesses. Antonio, a wealthy multi-media consultant, borrows money from Shylock to help his friend Bassanio, a bright-eyed coder, woo the beautiful heiress Portia. Bassanio has been admiring Portia, the daughter of Silicon Valley's most powerful and recently-deceased businessman. After meeting Portia on the internet and desperately wanting be with her, Bassanio needs money to travel out to California. Enter Antonio, who takes a loan out on his next web-based TV show he is producing. Bassanio travels to California and must pass a challenge arranged by Portia's dad. The suitors choose between three different website ideas, the flashy dating site, the slick talent contest site, or the humble volunteer website. Having chosen the volunteer site, not the sites that claim the person will gain what many men desire or will get as much as he deserves, Bassanio is allowed to marry Portia. Antonio's TV show doesn't take off as fast as predicted and isn't able to repay the loans. Shylock takes Antonio to court, but a disguised Portia comes to the rescue and points out the flaws in the loan contract.
