You're talking about cheating already - and we don't even know what the contest is going to be yet? I don't trust you... :)

[childish]ADMIN! Can we ban Landlord Tal from this contest because he clearly can't be trusted. And make Fredil Yupigo on that list too, just because.[/childish] <--- I agree with the last one.

:)

This is going to be a wicked contest.

Whatever the contest is going to be, though, don't forget to make it relevant to us Australians and other countries (i.e. don't make it USA-specific or something). I like frantique's idea.

Not everyone would want to photograph themselves with the logo. E.g, me.

you wouldn't have to get your face in the picture...

i actually like the "where do you geek?" idea (which is what i'm calling admin's idea of the G2G logo in interesting places)...it would be sort of like the roaming gnome for trevelocity....


:) A cool idea would be to photograph your hand with the G2G logo on it... That way there's no way you can cheat, basically.

On this site, it will be open to EVERYONE. Both US and International. Other sites may chose to limit the geography for their contests.

I like the "jellybean guess" idea since it can be done by everyone as as was said earlier it is near impossible to guess just by a photo of the jar.

That laptop is KEWL!!

Oh and make the jellybean jar filled with one color of beans since it is harder to see.
Preferably a dark color -- like black. :)

Too easy to cheat --
All one would have to do is get his/her friend to get the pic with his/her hand painted with the logo.... You can't prove it is your hand..
I do agree however that me posting my pics in public internet is not a good idea...

I would LOVE a laptop, since we only have one computer at home and I can use the laptop for world dominationwhatever I want. :)

If we are looking to have a contest that emphasises GTG in some way, then Admin's original idea about printing out the GTG logo A4 size and placing it (with no people in the picture) in an obscure place and submitting a photo. The only real downside to this that I can see would be for people who don't have a camera and cannot borrow one. Oh, and then there's the possibility of someone photoshopping the image in rather than placing it in the obscure place.

Cell phone? then what is they don't have a cell phone? a computer cam? What if they do not have a computer cam? Not sure.... :)

Then GtG is THE place for me. It's not like other sites are gonna choose the Philippines for their "geographic limit" :)

That's not a laptop. It's a LAPTOP! :) Get it?

If you get the laptop, I mean, LAPTOP!, and I get the jellybeans, are you gonna trade with me? :)

You can hold it with your hand with your username being written on it... And the fingers being in a certain position :) But yeah, you could cheat like this. There is no way to prevent cheating, really.
