the competitions will vary. The first three are larger giveaways – you don’t have to do much to enter, and 500 readers will win a little something :-)
Later in the week there will be other types of competitions which will get a little more involved!

Lara Kulpa

Charles – I think Darren’s going to probably write a post about blog contests (if he hasn’t already) but essentially, he just posted a call for prizes, and out of over 150 of them, these were the ones we chose.

Whew! I was worried someone else was going to be giving away some pesos and a 1994 Unused Pro Bowl ballot. I can rest easier now. What a great prize package to give to a great bunch of readers. I’m honored to be a part and I promise you will learn absolutely nothing at my site

2 Jamaican dollars?!?!?

October 3rd, 2007 5:08 am
First things first, I feel very honored to find my Hawaii Stretch Video on the prize list. Mahalo Problogger!
Oops, too bad but it looks like I already missed the deadline for Aaron Wall’s E-Book. Some 6 or more years ago, I took a private ‘ SEO lesson’ from him, which was money well spent. With over 700 applicants for his E-Books, chances to win one are pretty slim.
So I visited many other prizes and blogs/sites to decide what I try for next. Cash is tempting but practical blog help, like a redesign of my blog header, seems the right thing for my blog plus won’t have to many contestants?!
can’t wait to see next prizes. pua
Kabitzin
October 3rd, 2007 5:14 am
BTW, just to clear up, are the number of prizes you can win limited in any way (e.g. only one prize per person)? Or is it all up to chance?

Great Links to other sources and if I’m lucky, I’ll give half of my winnings to Unicef! Thanks to the site Authors.

October 3rd, 2007 8:50 am
Hi Darren, this is massive. Congrats for putting together such an impressive promo. Interesting to see blogs following magazines and radio down the traditional media route with giveaways of this magnitude.
What’s the legal situation like with something like this? I know when I have run competitions here in Australia there are enough hoops to jump through with getting the official Terms and Conditions right as well as registering them in individual states. I’ve never run a competition for a world wide audience so have never had to deal with something this broad crossing internatial borders regarding competition and giveaway rules. Any light you can shed would be great.
Jennifer
October 3rd, 2007 11:14 am
Wow! Great list. I’ll take it you weren’t interested in my poor little joke of a prize 3 lbs of M&M’s. It’s okay.
Monika @ The Writers Manifesto
October 3rd, 2007 1:50 pm
Cool list Darren,
Nice amount of sponsors thanks to all of them we can now live in suspense for the rest of the day. :-)
Looking forward at a stake.

Darren,
Glad the Palmetto Guesthouse http://www.palmettoculebra.com could help to support your giveaway. I think the number of prizes you were able to get donated is a true reflection of how many people get valuable information from your site.
Best,
Mark

Ok, well that’s not exactly how I would have described our offering from Color Themes, but I guess we can clarify when a winner comes forth.
For posterity, Color Themes is offering a complete color consultation in any one room, home or office. For a description, check the comments today’s Spike In The Numbers post on our site.
Thanks.

Hi –
Great idea for a contest. I’ve put my entry up at http://delabarre.us
If chosen, I’d like one of the site design packages – my wife is starting up her own business and I’d like to get a new site up and running help her advertise.
