Here’s a great contest idea to keep in your back pocket for next Halloween. Star-Tribune (Minneapolis, MN) gives readers a few basic items (this week: flannel shirt & jeans) and asks them to dream up their most creative costume idea with those pieces for a chance to win a cash card. Simple, clever and fun (plus a sponsorship from Goodwill) – all the ingredients to an awesome contest.

May is right around the corner and you know what that means – time to honor the mamas in our lives! EdwardsvilleOnline helps their audience do that by hosting this quite adorable Mother’s Day Photo Contest. Miss Bailey’s Poppy Patch sponsored the contest and will choose their two favorite entries to win a prize package.

If the Mardi Gras & St. Patrick’s Day holidays are treated as major events in your market, then you certainly want to take a peek at this contest from The Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA). As cameras are certain to be found at any parade, running a photo contest is a fantastic way to engage your audience around a community event. For more holiday-themed contests, click here.

With the Easter holiday in our midst, clever contests about eggs, chickens, and bunnies begin springing up. One that never fails to get a few chuckles from me is the “create-something-out-of-peeps,” like this contest from Seattle Times. Now, while I don’t find the candy all that appetizing, seeing those little pastel colored mallows in a diorama titled “Peeps of the Caribbean” or “Peeper Fever” (a tribute to tween sensation Justin Bieber) gets me every time.

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, The Albany Herald (Albany, GA) hosts this contest with a wide variety of sponsors (fitness center, boutiques, restaurants, and more) to find the cutest couple in southwest Georgia. Grand prize winners – which will be posted online and in print – receive a cruise from Your Travel Connection. What an adorable holiday contest – love the welcome page graphics.
