NOW EXTENDED TILL 16th April 2009
Yes, we are really all geeks. Some of you out there have noticed that all our contests have similar themes, and that’s partially due to our inherently geeky natures. Yes, we play video games, we own busloads of comics, we all have wookie masks and we all know how to program a VCR, if necessary.
But darnit, we fear we might be running out of ideas here (*gasp*), so we’re once again, depending ON YOU! That’s right.
We want you to suggest our next contest.
So how’s this gonna work? Well basically, we have a comments box here, so just pop on your thinking caps, suggest your best ideas (as many as you like), and we’ll handpick ten, which we’ll then pass back to you to vote on! Our only condition for the contest is that the theme should be flexible enough to accommodate different kinds of cards – Birthdays, Love, Thank You, Sorry.
To submit your idea, please fill up these two fields and post it in the comments of this blog post.
Title – e.g. “Where No Man Has gone Before”
Description – a two-sentence description of your idea. To get a better idea of how to write this, check out our previous contests here.
As an incentive, the winning theme (which will first have to get shortlisted, then voted) will get a Microsoft ZUNE 30GB MP3 player worth more than US$200!
We’re open to suggestions until 13th April 2009, so hurry!
