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!

Calling all outdoorsy folk! Nrtoday.com (Roseburg, OR) invites readers to upload serene scenes, fishing, or any other outdoor shots taken on the Umpqua Rivers. The winning photo is published in the Rivers section of the paper and receives a high-quality print of their shot. All these submissions make me want to head up to Umpqua River!

Orange County Register (Irvine, CA) got it right, preschoolers are insanely cute, just look at the submissions for this contest. This contest is very-well designed (look how awesome the chalkboard welcome page is!) and executed. The winner receives a gift card from the sponsor – Oreck Clean Home Center; that makes perfect sense considering how messy preschoolers are. This contest idea is perfect to run when school is right around the corner.

Quit complaining about the unbearable heat to your neighbors, let some steam off with this essay contest from Rock Hill Herald (Rock Hill, SC). Heat-stricken readers write their clever completion to this statement: “It’s so hot that…” – winner receives a package from Comfort Heating & Cooling. What an easy and fun contest to offer to your market.

Test your road trip knowledge! The Kansas City Star (Kansas City, KS) presents their readers a trivia question related to road trips – (for example, “In the movie “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” Clark Griswold and his family were trying to get to a theme park. What was the park’s name?”) – each day for their chance to win a brand new 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse – sponsored by Northtowne Mitsubishi. What a fun contest!

This fun summer photo contest from Philly.com (Philadelphia, PA) makes us want to pack up and head to the nearest shore! With submission groups for kids of all ages (and pets too!) this contest appeals to everyone.
