At last, football season has arrived! With that in mind, today I’d like to showcase an excellent football contest from Tribune Chronicle (Warren, OH). The paper is running 3 football contests: a local high school contest, top 15 college games, and the national pro game (run by Second Street). To make it easy for readers to enter, they created a landing page that promotes all three contests and is surrounded by sponsors’ ads. What a genius idea! Great work – we can’t wait to see the results of your contests.
Are you running a football contest that deserves a standing ovation? Let us know in the comments.

660 News (Calgary, Alberta)’s Name That Tune really takes the multiple choice contest to the next step. This contest was created around title sponsor Irene Besse Keyboards. Songs, played on one of Irene Besse’s keyboards, were recorded and embedded into each multiple choice question. Users listened to the video and guessed which song was being played for a chance to win a keyboard themselves. How clever is that?
104.5 The Zone (Nashville, TN) cheered for the underdogs this past college football season and encouraged listeners to do the same. Each week, players pick three underdogs teams they believe will win and receive the points allotted to that particular game. This fun, fresh football contest was sponsored by Allstate.
This contest is hot, hot, hot! KDVR (Denver, CO) asks viewers to predict the hottest day in this heat-stricken month. The weather-predicting winner of this contest receives a brand-new air conditioner from Bryant Heating & Cooling Systems – a wonderful prize for a sticky summer.
A trivia contest is a fun way to appeal to a large audience. Just like Lakeway Publishers (Morristown, TN) did with their 4th of July trivia contest. The best feature of this Independence Day themed contest – all participants win a prize!
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.
