What a touchdown! The Southern Illinoisan (Carbondale, IL) is running a high school, college and pro football contest this upcoming 2010 season (all sponsored by Buffalo Wild Wings!). In a very smart move, they created a stellar landing page for all three contests. Now, they can direct users to one location where they can pick and choose which contests to participate in. Impressive.
What an incredible looking contest! KFMB-TV (San Diego, CA), a CBS affiliate, runs this contest around the upcoming new show this fall, Hawaii Five-O. Each week, the show will reveal a code word; users come to the contest and enter the word. 8 lucky winners will win round trip tickets to Hawaii – provided by Hawaiian Airlines. Aloha!
Bring it on! (Or is it Bring in on Again?) WGN-TV (Chicago, IL) asks local high school cheer squads to show off what their dedication and long hours of practice can produce with this video contest. With a perfect sponsor (CW upcoming show Hellcats), a stellar prize (appearance on WGN Morning News) and great branding, this contest is a keeper!
What a fun, fresh contest from Sonic 102.9 (Edmonton, Alberta)! Artistic listeners can take a shot at designing the rock station’s next billboard. Some very awesome submissions were entered, what an original contest idea.
To celebrate their Grand Opening, Mardi Gras Casino & Resort teamed up with WSAZ-TV (Charleston, WV) to give away a free night’s stay to one lucky viewer. What a great promotional opportunity!
Charlotte Observer‘s corner dedicated to the joys of motherhood (Charlotte, NC) runs this very fun, very classy “Gal Pals” photo contest. What a great contest with fantastic prizes: makeover package, four tickets to “Girls Only”, or a bottle of wine to share. Love it.
