Bracket contests tend to bring out the creative side in contest-makers/designers, this Love to Hate contest from 102.9 The HOG.com (Milwaukee, WI) is no exception. This station asks listeners to weigh in on their various likes and dislikes (American Idol, Brangelina, Octomom, etc.) – what a fun idea!

In the spirit of competition surrounding March Madness, The Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL) offers a fresh kind of bracket contest to its readers: a brew bracket!

News-Item (Shamokin, PA) invites readers to test their knowledge of St. Paddy’s Day with an Irish Trivia Contest. A prize – sponsored by Blum Appraisals – is offered for the winner.
