ADDITION TO PRIZES: I am adding in some special edition Pacman Moleskin sketchbooks, Some Eco Friendly sketch books (comes with the satisfaction of having donated books to children too!).
NOTE: This contest will NOT end, as I said, once I reach 1000 visits. I misjudged how fast that would happen, so it will continue to December 1st.
Well, I’ve put a lot of work into my blog (and will continue to put way more!), and I am happy to say it is starting to pay off. I’m quickly approaching 1000 unique visits, which may sound like nothing, but it really means a lot to me. I’ve worked on a lot of personal websites, none of which were nearly finished, or went anywhere. So to celebrate this, I’ve decided to give stuff away. Yes, you could very well end up with free swag!
If you’re anything like the poor, college student I am, you are probably drooling over the idea of free stuff. Am I right? Of course I am. So here’s the deal. I’m going to run this thing like a bit of a contest. The first part is a simple draw. You comment on a post on my blog anytime after this post (on any post you want) and you will be entered into a random draw for some awesome little prizes. You’ll get some pretty sweet stuff like that, but if you want some really cool stuff, you’ll keep reading.
The first half of the contest is easy. All you have you have to do is comment on my blog and you’ll be entered into a draw for some free stuff! What can you get? Well how about this?
- Custom Pin-backed Buttons (5)
- Moleskine Notebook with Artist Drawing Pens (I LOVE Moleskine!)
- Watercolor Sktechbook and watercolor Paint set (Great for renderings!)
The biggest half of all this is all about some link love. All you’ll need to do is share my blog on Twitter (just add in @chrismwiggs), on Facebook (Join this page on Facebook and then tag in a post @Chris Wiggs, or @CMW Design), on another blog, forum or anywhere else you can think of (Just send me an email showing you shared my blog!). Note: “Liking” a post does not count, as I can’t see who liked what. Sorry.
The best part of this half is the prizes. You can win some pretty awesome stuff. I mean REALLY awesome.
- Custom Pin-backed Buttons (15)
- A pair of movie tickets (Any movie you want!)
- One of three art posters (I’ll give the winner’s their pick from a list)
- The Latest Issue of “The Computer Arts Project”
- Free website hosting for one full year from one of the world best hosting companies (You get a free domain name too! FOREVER!) – $125 Value
I am going to keep this open until November 30th, or until I hit 1000 visits. Either or. If things seem to be going really well, I might keep it open a little bit longer and throw up some more prizes! Once all the entries are in, I will randomly draw names out and give the prizes out in order of the draw. Note: This contest is only open for residents of Canada and the Continental USA (Including Alaska).
So take a few minutes and give it a go. You could be a short comment or tweet away from getting a nifty little (or big!) prize. And you’ll be helping out little ol’ me!
Now im not just commenting because I want prizes, even if that WOOUULLDD be AWESOME :D
But I wanted to say, from your very first fan :D, that I love how far you’ve come with this blog and thoroughly enjoy every blog that you post :)
( But would it kill you to update a little more often ;P )
@Austin Jones, you’re lucky I like you! :P
But thanks! I’m glad you keep coming back.
And yes.. I know I need to update more often. It’s hard when you’re in university you know! But I will try my best to do more than my usual 1 per week!
If you have any suggestions on post topics, I’d love to hear em too!
Well once a week is actually for me,
but it’d be nice to know what day during the week.
Like every Friday or every Saturday.
As for topics,
I’ll let you know if I have anything worth talking about :)
@Austin Jones
Hmm.. That’s an idea. Maybe I should try for the same day each week.. We’ll see!
When I started, I wanted one every other day. You can see how well THAT worked :P
But I’ll think on it. I want to put more time into my blog still too.
