Thread: Contest Sponsorship

So, we have arranged Template Monster for sponsorship with one template of the winners choice for our contest. (very proud of that too lol) Anyhow, still need some more prizes as we are hoping to have more than 1 winner, at least we would like this contest to be original enough to have at least 5 winners.

Contest Details:
(Please be kind, don't take the idea as your own as I hurt my brain trying to think of something original lol)

This is going to be simple and made all about the subscribers/visitors. We are going to, simply put, feature the work/individual of those who come to our blog including but of course not limited to web designers, web masters, programmers, writers, web hosting companies and etc. All they do is show themselves off by posting comments (at least 1 paragraph would be suitable) on our blog in the correct area (which will be under the contest details etc) that we will make available about themselves and what they do. We will then select winners (up to 5 grand prize winners) randomly considering the amount of those who post in which we are hoping for. We would like everyone to win who post but we know that may not happen if it becomes too big. We, of course, will create rules to go by for the contest and hell even possibly accept mailed in responses if case they don't have enough room in the comment area.

What we are seeking are sponsors for this contest for the prizes. We will accept really anything for it. We have the following to offer at this time but you can offer something that may be already on the list, we would appreciate anything:

-Template Monster Template
-Free hosting
-Free domain
-Ad space on our blog

We contacted some big companies but no reply other than TM. Like Template Monster, we will post a link to your site or even a banner if you wish within our post about the contest that says something like "This contest is being sponsored by: ...the list of links and banners... "

Another thing we may need is those that may wish to choose some of the winners but we have to still work out the prize stuff first.

Thank you in advance for reading my post and we really appreciate any help.

I can offer any of our hosting packages from Cencero Hosting to be donated as a prize for 12 months free hosting

I can offer an one month 125x125 ad on my SEO blog it is PR3 and is a $12 value.

I'll offer a "PSD --> XHTML/CSS template" service for a winner. I'm trying to beef up my portfolio at the moment, so it helps both of us.

Not sure if you are down, because my directory is only PR1 because it is new.
I can give a FREE featured listing on my free link directory.
