Blogiversity Contest

Blogiversity is kicking off 2009 with a huge prize contest for our bloggers. And when we say huge, we mean HUGE. The top three Blogiversity bloggers will be walking away with either a Toshiba 15.4" Satellite Pro L300 laptop, an Apple iPod Touch or an Amazon Kindle!

What's the catch? We want you to write blogs. That's it. Write good, quality blogs, promote them and win one of our excellent prizes. The contest starts January 1st, 2009 and ends February 28th, 2009. During this two month period, we're asking for a minimum of 15 blogs -- although, the more blogs you post, the larger chance you'll make it to the final five. The bloggers with the top five highest point totals will become finalists and have their top 15 blogs judged by the Blogiversity panel of judges. You get points for every blog you post (over 250 words), every view and comment you receive and your overall rating. Write about whatever you'd like to (as long as it's within the Blogiversity terms of service) and if it's a quality, well-written blog that gets readers' attention, you're going to rack up the points and walk away with a fine prize! Each of the top three finishers will have a choice of what prize they'd like to receive: a Toshiba laptop, Apple 16GB iPod Touch or an Amazon Kindle!



Here's the fine print. Please read over in detail.

    Yes but you have to do it on blogiversity.org. All you have to do is blog well on blogiversity at least 15 posts. More if you want to beat everyone else. All you have to do is make it into the top 3 and you can pick your prize.

    One question.
    There are users with high points here
    www.blogiversity.org/rewards/pointlist.aspx

    The points for the contest will be just for the month of January or these points will also be considered. if the above list is considered then I have no chance. I cannot make 222 posts in just a month.

      Yes all the points will be reset on Jan 1st. So no one that is already on the site has an advantage. Also when the contest starts the points will not be visible to the public. This will help people from cheating ;). You will have Jan. and Feb. to gain points as well. So you see as of Jan 1st everyone will start off with 0 points. Sound good?

    What is the subject matter of these blog posts? Is it free-wheeling? We submit the posts to blogversity.org, something like article submission?

      You have to create a blog on Blogiversity.org just like any other blog site. The contest is basically designed to get people blogging on Blogiversity. So you create your Blog and post at least 15 post to it. You can talk about whatever you want. It's your Blog.

    Do all blog posts have to be original? Or can one or two be from your own established blog?
