Next week we'll be announcing a contest where you'll have a chance to win a very nice prize. We haven't yet decided how we'll award the winner.
Have any contest ideas? Seen any creative contests elsewhere we could 'borrow'? Let's hear 'em! |

Have some kind of draw like the last 4 digits of SS# or last 4 digits of CC # you generate the numbers the person with the numbers wins (:
We are having a draw in my area you call in when a certain song plays on the radio if you match their numbers for last 4 digits of your ssn you win 100 thousand dollars! Of course chances are slim |

we'd need something that's guaranteed to win though...i think (if no one wins can i have it?).....so the chances of someone having the right SSN but not being here at G2G is pretty high...also people in other countries don't have SSNs

Except there aren't enough blog pages to make it a challenge, and there are enough forum pages to make it almost impossible.

I think I'd like it to be more personal and creative. A couple ideas we've tossed around:
Random winner picked from qualified entrants. |

Have them guess the number of unpopped kernels in a bag of microwave popcorn.

Come up with a series of somewhat trivial questions, from say cartoons to history, and everthing in between. i.e the names of all the cast members and who they played on Gilligans Island. Who ever gets it right the fastest gets so many points, and set a time limit with its own Forum. May it last a week or so.

have an elimination style contest with some of the games from the jokes and games forum or any quick and easy game that you can find online
for example start off with a trivia game for a week and the top 150 move to the next round which could be how fast do you type and the top 75 move on again to monkey kickoff where the top 25 move on to something like tower defense then the top ten move on to another game where a winner would be crowned. |

I think it would be nice if you handed out images of GTG logos and see who can place it in the best location with Photoshop or something like that. Sure would be neat (tack a GTG logo onto a NASA spacecraft - that would be funny!)
