Awesome Bro
If I won top 3... can it be put into my Paypal?
Technically, yes, but you will be losing money. PayPal takes out 2.9% of total amount sent plus $0.30. So if we sent you $300, they'd be taking out approx. $9 from that.
I don't like giving companies money just to transfer numbers from one database to the next. Plus, PayPal is kind of an asshole of a company.
{Outside of the U.S., there are additional fees as well!}
However, if PayPal is the most convenient for you, and you don't mind losing some of the money due to transfer costs, we can send you the money via PayPal as well.
It's all about making YOU happy, baby.

with a little effort it's easy enough to understand basics...
Go through the tutorials to get started.

LOL, a lot of us here don't know how... so we are all in the same boat.
The hardest competitors will be from the OTHER site.

There must be some reason for it.

Wow, this contest seems quite interesting!
I've already started taken a bash at Construct 2 recently; I guess I'll join this contest and see what kind of game I can come up with in about a week or two!
One question: If we use engines created for Construct Classic/2 in our game that were developed before March 3rd, 2012, are we allowed to use them?
I'm probably not going to, as I think creating an original game will probably fare in this contest well than fan games and relying on engines someone else made instead of creating them yourself, because that is the point of this contest, right? To experiment with Construct 2.
Plus, it'll be more fun as well. I like fun.
EDIT: Hey, does anyone know if I can find sprites for heroes and enemies in the resource section?
If so, I'll be heading there soon. Right now, I'm only aware that they host RPG Maker resources there.

Hohoho I'm definitely joining this contest! Looks like it'll be heaps of fun over here at the HBgames forums! :D
Sounds like a fun contest indeed... and another one I'll likely won't be able to compete in for time issues :/ That's too bad, as I think I got quite a few idea that I could maybe translate into interesting things here... nevermind the opportunity for some nice illustrations... ah well, maybe I can cut out those unnecessary hours of sleep I deign myself every night 
But since that's not very likely to happen (yep, getting a little old here as well...), I wish all the competitors good luck... and of course, kudos to the hosts of the contest, as the range of prices is quite interesting and quite worth something!
