One contest to rule them all
I’ve seen a few really nice blog contests. I’ve seen a few decent ones. I’ve seen a few lousy ones, and I’ve seen a few absolutely horrid ones. This contest however might just be the greatest I have seen at this point. The contest is sponsored by David Airey who is celebrating his one year anniversary with a contest that includes an unbelievably generous prize package. What’s more there will be multiple winners. Once you see the sheer number of prizes you’ll understand why. Even if for some strange reason the prizes are of no interest you should still stop by David’s site and see what he has to offer in the way of innovative and original logo design. Let’s take a quick peak at the prizes being offered.
- David Airey
- David, the contest sponsor himself, will be providing a custom logo to the winner of the Gold prize package
- Nate Whitehill
- Nate will provide a custom made wordpress theme for your blog. For an example of some of Nate’s work check out www.johnchow.com, or www.shoemoney.com. Only an insane person would not want something by Nate. This is also part of the Gold Package
- Maki of Dosh Dosh
- Maki is providing a personal advertising and marketing plan as his part of the Gold Package. If you’ve never read his blog you’re missing out on a wealth of information and even if you don’t win I highly recommend subscribing to his RSS feed.
- John Boardley of I Love Typography
- John is supplying the setup and hosting on a dedicated server at Media Temple for one year. I believe it is one year free of charge, but I’m not 100% positive about that. Regardless it sounds like a great prize in and of itself but as part of the Gold Package with all the rest it looks that much better.
- Lorelle VanFossen of Lorelle on WordPress
- Lorelle is giving away a signed copy of the book Blogging Tips. This prize rounds out the Gold Package
- Tara Roskell of Graphic Design Blog.
- Tara is offering a logo design as part of the Silver Prize Package
