Devode - money competition..?

[lolwut]

The first one, if you get the band to actually help you out.
Else the second one.

Make a competition where everyone has to create an advert for Devode and publish them on youtube, the youtube ad that gets the most views in a month wins.

I like myth's idea tbh.

I duno, that requires quite alot of investment time wize to do. I don't really think the forums got enough of a member bace to garentee pulling any enterys "/
Somthing easier to take part in would probably be more attractive "/

First option here

[MrPinkPanther]

Id definatly make a youtube ad, it could be quite fun.

I like the first option, as it gives users more of a chance.

Hi,

My new web development forum Devode.net is hopefully soon going to offer a competition where you can win some real life cash

We are thinking of 2 ways to hold the competition and I would like to get your views on what you think is the best way

The first way we are thinking about holding the competition is by doing a promotion/deal with the band Elliot Minor. We are currently talking to them about doing a promotional event where the users of our Forum can buy the single (99p) and receive a unique code. They then enter this code on the Forum for a chance to win £100.

The second option which we are thinking about is by asking a question and Forum Members have to PM us the answer. We would then pick a random winner and they would win £60.

Which option do you prefer? (I know which one I prefer )

Thanks,
Simon

I think you should devise a competition system, that lets each user only enter once, and then at the end of a time period, you can randomly select a entry.

Shouldn't be hard to integrate with vB?

I think the second option (To start)

As the forums new, some members may not pay as they wont trust the forum fully (which you cant really blame them for)
Maybe use the first idea in a few months?

I think (even though more people prefer option 1) I'm going to do option 2 as it will take some time to set up the deal and I want to prefferably hold the competition next week and I think a free entry to the competition will make more people enter.

Thanks if you've voted though!
