Poetry Competitions or other winning competitions

Unread post by shaun »

One Idea:

As well as the $10 gift certificate, what about having a poetry competition, or maybe have one question every month or so, and people have to pick from three answers, and the first person to post wins.

Maybe people could donate the autos they don't want for prizes, or something anyway.

I getting ahead of my self now. :lol:

You are on the right track with other members donating autographs for prizes but poetry?

Poetry has nothing to do with this website. However I think if members want to donate autographs, they should come up with a trivia question about the autograph and then send it to the first poster.

any thoughts
Favorite ttm- Bud Selig, Don Larsen, Dirk Nowitzki, David Stern, Phil Jackson, Pete Carroll, Stephen McGee, Austin Collie, Greg Jennings
Favorite IP- Albert Pujols, Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard, Derron Williams, Rollie Fingers, Robin Roberts
total IP and TTM autos-about 300

That's a great idea, It has to be a question, that most of the members would know, though wouldn't it?

If you're looking to get rid of your spare autographs then I think a better idea would be to advertise your contest and who the autograph is of, then the fans of that person could each PM you their entry, it could be in any form (poetry if they really want lol) or just a few lines about why they are a fan, or how they have tried to get the persons autograph but haven't managed it. I think that just saves the autograph going to the wrong person, someone who isn't a true fan who simply googled the answer to the question or whatever. Plus not everyone can be online at the same time so true fans of the celeb may not be online at the time so they couldn't possibly be the first person to answer it.
So yeah I think contests are a brilliant idea, just I think they should be fairly judged rather than it just going to the person who was online at the right time.

Na i dont think its a great idea...Poetry is deep and should be written/read in a real poetry forum/site!Not an autograph site...and if you personally want to get rid of all your multiple autographs just let people know wich ones and they can get them from you!It would be to easy to just google an answer or so...

Like you, because you spammed people so much you realise NOW that you don't want the autographs, and you couldn't sell them like usual?
