Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (Little Rock, AR) is running a truly unique contest with Sissy’s Log Cabin (jewelry shop). Readers share special pieces of jewelry for a chance to win $1,000 to Sissy’s – the title sponsor. A great contest to reach a niche audience.
Kansas City Parent (Kansas City, KS) hosts this adorable “duckorating” contest for local businesses and organizations. Each business decorates a rubber duck and the top 3 will be displayed at the Children’s TLC Duck Derby – what a fun contest idea! (Check out how they promote the contest on their home page. Hint: look at the duck in the corner!)
The Daily Advocate (Greenville, OH) helped local kids get in gear for the school year with this well-executed coloring contest (love the list of sponsors listed across the welcome page). The hopeful artists download the picture to color right on the contest site and submit it to the paper. Winner receives a gift certificate for the usual back-to-school items. A fantastic late summer contest idea!
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (Little Rock, AR) ran this quite adorable “Very Best Mama Contest” this month for Mother’s Day. Not only does this contest have a creative design, they rotate ads for their sponsors (Magic Springs & Crystal Falls and Scentsy) on each tab – how clever! Using all your ad space is a fantastic way to tie in more sponsors – great work!
Graduation season is upon us. WDAF-TV (Kansas City, MO) helps family & friends send their cap-and-gown wearing loved ones notes of congrats with their “Senior Sendoff” contest. Chosen submissions will appear on air throughout the month of May. What a great idea!
