The Contest Beat Contest About Contests
Contest Beat is holding its very first contest, well - its first two to be more accurate.
Throughout the month of October I will be holding two contests here, one after the other. These aren’t you average blog contests either, I suppose you could describe them as “contests about contests” :D. But enough dribble from me, here’s the lowdown:
Contest 1: 1st October to 15th October 2007
I want to find out what all you guys and girls think would be the absolute coolest contest prize, with the widest range of appeal, for a giveaway. Before you say $1,000,000, or a Ferrari, or an island or something, there are two conditions, it must cost US$100 or under and be able to be sent basically anywhere in the world from where you buy it (wherever that may be).
Once you’ve thought of what you think would be a wicked prize for a contest I want you to blog or write about it on your website, including a brief reason why you reckon it’s so great. This should be done in its own post and also include a link back to this post (with any anchor text) on Contest Beat. Once you’ve got that sorted, make a comment here and include the URL to the post you made and you’re in!
Prizes
Come October 15 I will pick two winners:
- First, $50 (via Paypal or Amazon gift certificate - winners choice) will go to the person who came up with the best prize, in my opinion. This will be based on both the contest prize suggested and the reasoning to go with it (so two or more people who suggest the same prize can be differentiated).
- Secondly, and because I don’t want to disadvantage those of you who might be a little less creative than your counterparts, $50 (via Paypal or Amazon gift certificate - once again, winners choice) will also go to a randomly selected entrant.
I will also be linking back to all the entrants and their respective entries in the same post that declares the winner, just so that everyone can check out all the cool ideas that people thought up (and maybe get some ideas for their own contests - nudge, nudge, wink, wink).
You can hedge your bets and enter as many times as you like on different blogs you run, however each post you make must be about a different prize with different reasoning to go along with it, and as I said entry will close on October 15. If you have any questions please comment away, otherwise I look forward to reading what everyone comes up with!
Contest 2: 16th October to 31st October 2007
Some of you might have already guessed what the prize in this contest will be, but since no one actually knows exactly what it will be yet, I won’t say anymore. Look out for an announcement on this sometime around when the first contest ends :D.
Do you mean October?
Haha - doh! Thank you
You’re welcome! I thought I was in a time warp there for a minute. heehe… we all do things like that at some point in our lives… at least I have!
I will add this to my Tuesday Edition of Contests Galore on my blog.
Cool - looking forward to it!
