UPDATE: Sponsors can now join this blog contest.
I've been inspired by my previous post about Tree of Wishes that I came up with this blog contest - Make a Wish.
This contest is OPEN to everyone who has a blog. All you need to do is write about your ultimate wish - it can be a simple wish or something grand. Entries will be judged based on criterions, including Creativity and the wish itself. Take note, though, that It doesn't have to be a complete fantasy to be creative. I'll give more details when the contest officially starts.
I already have a couple of prizes on my list, but I haven't finalized them yet. Thank you for suggestions from Gene and Heartybux. I want to increase the number of winners to 5 or even more if I'll get sponsors. Here are the prizes that I'm giving away on my end:
- 2-year paid domain registration of your choice, of course.
It'll be registered through Moniker and I will even help you set it up. - 31-day paid ads from Adgitize.
- 5,000 to 10,000 Entrecard credits.
- Paypal cash
Aside from these prizes, you would get the chance to inspire someone and possibly encourage them to grant your wish.
I am also thinking about giving out prizes to those who don't want to or cannot join this contest for some reason, but advertised or blogged about this contest on their blogs to help me spread the word.
I want to make the prizes sweeter by asking for SPONSORSHIP from other bloggers. For those who will be sponsoring my first ever blog contest, you will have the following benefits:
- Lots of Link Love
- All sponsors will get link love from ALL the entries to this contest. That can help you with your PR and Alexa ranking.
- 1 month free advertising of your 125x125 banner on this blog. I'll post your ads above the fold, right where you see my Gordon-Bayani banner of support.
- You will be included in my blogroll forever.
- ALL sponsors get to pick TWO (2) entries that they love. These entries will be included in the final round where 3 eligible friends (to judge this contest) of mine would choose the winners.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Because of inquiries and demands for this, ALL SPONSORS can join the contest.
They, of course, cannot pick their own entries for the semi-final round.
- Aside from the link love, sponsoring contests can also help boost your blog's traffic and be known by more bloggers.
I am accepting any kind of prizes you can contribute. It can be an ebook or a book, accessories, mini gadgets, advertising on your blog, Paypal cash, etc. If you would like to be one of my sponsors for this blog contest, please contact me through my email address below.
(That's a ZERO after blankpixels)
Please include your name, blog's address, and, of course, what you're willing to contribute. I'll respond to you as soon as possible.
I hope you can send in what you're willing to contribute for this contest on or before April 23, 2010 so bloggers can start their entries by next week.
And to everyone who wants to join, you still have time to think about what wish you will blog about for this contest.
Mechanics will be posted by next week, but if you want to already blog about this contest or post a button on your blog, here's what you can use. Take note, however, that this doesn't lead to the contest mechanics yet. This button will only lead bloggers to my blog's main page.
