Abstract: An electronic platform and system for obtaining direct interaction with celebrities including a computer implemented and internet based system for conducting an involvement contest to win a personalized session to interact with a designated celebrity. The system identifies and categorizes different celebrities and announces a set of predetermined participating celebrities in each category. Users send in submissions including content of limited length and predetermined payment with each submission. The submissions are processed through a set of unique reviewing, grading, and selecting procedures to determine their eligibility. The submissions are filtered and graded by a computer-based filter and grading functional block and the graded messages are ranked and preselected based on the scores they were given. The final winner is based on the results of a manual selection process and is awarded an online interaction session with the selected celebrity for that contest.
