"It's that time of year again and the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) team here
at HP TippingPoint is proud to announce the 5th annual Pwn2Own competition
is back.
[...]
As mentioned previously, we've upped the ante this time around and the
total cash pool allotted for prizes has risen to a whopping $125,000 USD.
While HP TippingPoint is funding $105,000 of that, we've partnered with
Google who has generously offered up $20,000 to the researcher who can best
their Chrome browser.
[...]
This year the web browser targets will be the latest release candidate (at
the time of the contest) of the following products:
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Apple Safari
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome"

Any reason Opera was left out of the browser competition? Just curious.
ZDI Team commented on 2009-02-25 @ 16:10
@fearphage: Based on market share we only accept Internet Explorer and
Firefox vulnerabilities through the ZDI. For the sake of this competition
we included Chrome and Safari due to their default presence on various
mobile platforms."
