The Contest is Open!

Date February 11, 2008

Hi everyone!

My February Contest has begun.  It runs from now until February 29th 23:59:59, server time.  Anything that is logged after then will not count towards the February contest.

If you need to know anything about it, go to the February Contest page.  There are links to subscribe by email there (as well as on the sidebar) and a form to get some html link code to help you get extra entries.

I have decided to make it very easy to get extra entries in this contest, and the person with the most entries has the best chance of winning.  It will be a draw, but make sure you increase your chances by fulfilling as many tasks as you can!

And what is up for grabs, you say?

Well, I’m kicking it off with $25 cash and 500 Entrecard credits.  Now, if for any reason the winner cannot accept any part of the prize, that part of the prize will go to the next place.  So I must give it all away!

I am also in the process of monetizing this blog, so if I make any money off it this month, 25% of that will be added to the prize.  That’s right folks, 25% of any earnings from this blog are going straight to the prizewinner.  (Now I can’t guarantee that will amount to any extra cash, but I sure hope it will.)

 So remember, you must subscribe to the Full RSS Feed via Email (you can use the link in the sidebar under RSS) to enter the contest.

Have I missed anything?  I don’t think so.  Check out the February Contest Page for the ways of getting bonus entries.  (You have to be subscribed by email to be eligible for extra entries though).

Oh yes, one last thing - the last “extra” way to gain entries on the list on the February Contest Page states that you get an entry for every person you send here that also subscribes.  You must get a special html link from the Contest Page or I can’t track the referrals.  Use the link and I’ll track the referrals, giving you extra entries.

Good luck (and good night - its midnight here in Australia)

UPDATE:

I recommend that everyone entering writes a comment on this post, then I know what your name is.  I don’t want to reveal emails at the end;  if I pick someone who is nameless, the prize may be delayed.  And making a comment here will give you an extra entry!  So just do it :)

The other thing is - if you are going to blog about it, go to the February Contest Page and grab a referral code - that way you will score an extra two entries every time a person you refer enters!  It’s that easy.  (Use the link with the referral code instead of the link to the contest page in your blog).

    Thanks BunnyMoney, I hope you continue to read it and enjoy it. As far as I can tell, you have earned your 17 entries!

  16. BestPrize said:

    Hi Andrew, Is it okay to post up your contest and list you on my blogroll on my 2nd blog? If so, my post is here: http://bestprize.wordpress.com/2008/02/19/cool-feb-contest-with-cool-prizes/
    I’ve already subscribed and added you to my technorati faves previously.
    If it’s one entry per blogger, that’s ok. Keep up your good work! :)

  17. Andrew Messer said:

    Well, as I didn’t specify it, I guess I have to award you the points. :)

    But seriously - its fine and you are now on 27 points, which at this time does put you in the lead!!!

  18. Andrew Messer said:

    UPDATE for BestPrize/BunnyMoney: I have noticed your second blog has been archived at WordPress.com. If it is not live when the contest ends, it would be unfair to award you the points. Sorry, but a post or blogroll link that no longer exists doesn’t count.

    Thanks.

  19. BestPrize said:

    Hi Andrew, Yeah, I understand. I just noticed about that blog and am here to inform you of that. Thanks for the update!
