Lenzr Toronto has summer photo contests for real prizes.
If you haven't heard about Lenzr yet, then let me be the first to tell you about this amazing website which leverages the internet for a fun filled photo challenge that can really pay dividends for 'popular photos'. Summer in Toronto
The member that submitted the winning photo may choose any one (1) smart phone available in the Canadian Wireless marketplace, and this includes, but is not limited to iPhone, Blackberry, Palm etc More details on Canada’s best cell phone plans company website, and you can read about the My Terms Network Inc, on Lenzr's blog.
Contest ends midnight August 31st, 2009. On Lenzr.com the winning image is the most popular image at end of the contest period, the picture with the most green thumbs up will win this amazing prize.
But that's not all, now there's also Emergency in Toronto
Bristall Morgan has sponsored the Emergency in Toronto photo contest on Lenzr which is a web challenge to draw attention to their time management related keynote speakers. Toronto police and firemen and EMS technicians all need tio keep track of time in their lives and so do business men on Bay street and although no lives are at stake time related office disorders and distractions are a negative factor in business productivity.
The amazing prize in this contest is an Esquire Verve luxury men's watch, stainless steel band with butterfly clasp, black face and four diamonds this waterproof timepiece definitely keeps good time.
This summer, keep your eye out and your camaera ready for great photos.
For many reasons the fastest growing demographic on the internet today is freelance moms and frugal shoppers. These people also like contests and internet marketers have learned that contests are a great way to harvest a lot of email addresses and build a benevolent brand. So the number of online contests available to consumers is way up this summer, and you will soon discover that without a plan of action it can all get very overwhelming.
First you should adopt disposable email addresses, like gmail or hotmail and use the identities to enter contests.
Then create a routine and find a good contest index websites to filter through the old and new business and make it easier to schedule 'contest time' . North of the border, I use All Canada Contests which divides hundreds of web challenges into regions, and also by the prizes offered , like automobiles, electronics, home prizes, travel packages etc
I usually avoid contests with spectacular prizes to enter contests that offer multiple prizes. The odds of winning something are dramatically increased in contests with multiple prizes. Find contests with ‘prize schedules’ where there’s a quota to be dispensed according to demographics – these benefit the consistent entrant who varies his or her routine.
Make entering contest easier by using downloading and using free form filler software such as RoboForm
There’s a few different systems, but RoboForm lets users rapidly enter repetitive data (name, e-mail, address and phone number) by using their mouse and clicking prefabricated options. This makes the process much easier and builds your chances of success by increasing the amount of contests you can enter in a day.
If you can submit applications to one hundred contests a day, you can enter five hundred contests a week, and that’s two thousand chances a month, and that offers a reasonable chance of something and perhaps making as much as a doctor or an investment banker would have earned in the same amount of time.
Blingo
Voting has ended! Thank you so much to everyone who participated, it has really been fun. I never was able to pick a favorite myself. Well, that's not entirely true. I picked a favorite several times, generally whichever one I'm looking at that moment.
So, I going to have to go with the people's choice on this.
First place, by quite a nice margin, goes to the incredibly talented nomad , for her creation "garden"
Second place was a bit of a surprise, to both me and the entrant, as I know this wasn't her favorite of the 23 entries she sent. Miz "I don' know nothin bout makin no headers" herself, snuggs , was responsible for the icky yet somehow adorable and definitely appropriate "bugs".
Third place is a four way tie!
labsnabys , who knows my life philosophy "Whatever the question, chocolate is always the right answer", created the drool-worthy "Chocolate"
nomad also created "idealism". Someday, she's going to take me to that "Ideal Body Shop" and I'm going to see if I can get a trade in on a better model.
edr created the beautiful and delightful "skewed." Did you notice that water is actually flowing uphill? ;)
shiny , who enjoys feeding my obsession for things Doctor Who-ish, designed "who?" My next goal is to somehow bribe/cajoal/threaten Russel T Davies to accidentally slip this into the opening credits one week...
Dear momma hester submitted the stunning "fierce"which I may aat some point (don't read this, edr!) use as a user pic
hereruraisins29 used my tutorial to create the very deep, philisophical crosseyed "infinity"
Both Meander and office pranks were from sweet huggable snuggs .
If any of you would like to make an acceptance speech, explain your reasoning behind what you created, or share your techniques, please do so.
I'll be in touch about prize choices- although, of course, I can't get to the post office this week.
For no readily apparent reason, I'm about three quarters past brain dead today. However, I said I was going to do this today, so here goes.
So I have this incredibly cool random header thing, which is really just food for my short attention span. Refresh and you get another header. Refresh again. And so on.
But I'm bored with the headers I've been coming up with, for a while now. Ever since after the shiny ones, really. I'd like to see what you can come up with.
But I don't expect you to create brilliance for nothing. There will be prizes. They will be... different. I'll start listing them soon.
So, here's the rules.
1) Headers must be jpg images exactly 800 pixels wide by 300 pixels high. All headers have to be the exact same size for the random header thingummy to work, and that's the size I've picked.
That's it. That's the only rule. How well do you know me and what I like?
Have fun with it- you can use original art, or poetry, or photos, or famous images, or absolutely whatever you want. Go as complex or as simple as you want.
Any header I decide to use will get a prize, but I'll have one overall winner chosen by me, and one overall winner chosen by everyone else in a vote. I reserve the right to toss anything I really dislike, for whatever reason.
To enter, send your entry to makemeaheader(a)gmail.com
For the subject of the email, please use "Header Contest- your user name" So for instance, if I were entering, I would have the subject "Header Contest- Trilliann"
I won't open anything with a different subject line, and I'll be deleting this address when the contest is over. I'll acknowledge all entries so you know I received it. Deadline for entries is midnight EST, September 24th.
On your mark, get set... GO!
