Blogging Contests

Written by David Dunn on June 30, 2008 – 10:05 pm - 677 views

Just been reading the Blog About Your Blog post about a roundup of current blogging contests and thought that I should enter some of these and share them with you guys and girls.

Blog Paradise and Contest Whiz competition

Blog Paradise’s contest blog and Contest Whiz’s contest are giving away an impressive list of prizes including one year web hosting, 5000 Entrecard credits and six months SKY.fm subscription.

Techogy contest

Techogy are hosting their very first blog contest and are giving away $500+ in prizes - has a very easy method of entering too!

I will be entering more and more of these similar contests and hopefully hosting my own very soon. If you are running something similar, please do leave a comment

National Lottery Competition

Written by David Dunn on June 6, 2008 – 9:46 pm - 697 views

Because there has been literally no entries at all to either of my two competitions. I am going to offer the first person who enters a free lucky dip to the main Lotto draw on 21 June 2008.

So to re-iterate, the first person who counts themselves into the competition will automatically win a lucky dip ticket for the main Lotto draw on 21 June 2008.

Hopefully that will get one person entering, and a stream of entrants after that

Win £10 Worth of National Lottery Tickets

Written by David Dunn on June 5, 2008 – 9:47 pm - 736 views

After posting a brand new competition on my other blog, Buy Me A Ferrari, I thought it was only right I had another competition for the readers of FerrariDave.

Taking a similar sort of prize idea used on Buy Me A Ferrari, on FerrariDave I am going to give away £10 worth of National Lottery tickets. I have also decided to give away 2 seperate runners-up prizes of 1 lucky dip for the main lottery draw including one entry for the Dream Number draw.

Again, as I mentioned on my other blog, this competition has the potential to be worth a whole load more than the £10 face value, depending on whether or not the tickets win much money. This also means it could be worth absolutely nothing if none of the tickets win anything - you’ve gotta be in it to win it though!

If you would like to be in with a chance of winning this great prize, you can do all/one of the following to gain entries:

• Comment on this blog post and drop me an email to compjun08@ferraridave.com - your email address will only be used for the prize draw and no other correspondence (2 Entries - this task must be done)
• Comment on any other FerrariDave blog post (1 Entry per comment)
• ‘Thumb up/I like it‘ any of the blog posts on FerrariDave using the StumbleUpon toolbar (3 Entries each)

Can I also ask that those who thumb up any of the pages, they email the above address with their username on StumbleUpon so I can add your entries.

Can I enter outside of the United Kingdom?

You also may be wondering whether or not you can enter if you are in the United States or other country. Yes, of course you can, all that will happen is I will purchase the tickets and if they win I will claim the money for you and Paypal the money across to you.

How will the prize draw take place?

At the End of July 2008 (the 31st to be precise), I will have compiled a list of entrants and given each entry an individual number. I will then get the random.org integer generator to give me the winner of the lottery tickets. The draw itself will be videoed and posted onto FerrariDave.

What happens if I am selected as the winner?

You get to choose which lottery draws you would like to enter (I will only be purchasing lucky dips) and I will go out and purchase the lottery tickets that you have requested. I will then send out the lottery tickets to the winner’s address. This will not be the case for international entrants, you will be emailed the numbers and the draws that you have been entered into before the draws take place.

What are you still doing reading this? Go and get some entries towards your name

Good Luck!

Entrecard Competition Winner

Written by David Dunn on February 1, 2008 – 11:00 pm - 1,190 views

First of all, just a little note to say that I apologise for the lack of posts on this blog but I have had a few things that have made me busier than I’d first thought they would.

Yesterday, I passed my driving test first time with only 4 minor faults - so I’m still pretty damn happy

Anyways, let’s get onto the Entrecard competition that ended yesterday - all in all there has been a total of 67 entries and I am now going to use random.org to give me a winner out of the 67 entries.

And the winning number it gave me back can be seen in the following screenshot:

The winner is… number 12 - ShadowKnight.

ShadowKnight, your Entrecard credits are being sent right now to the email address you used to post your comments.

Thank you very much to all of you who entered this competition - all entries, comments,  blog posts etc. are all very much appreciated - keep your eyes on FerrariDave and Buy Me A Ferrari for another competition within the next few days.

Thanks again!

I Won A Book

Written by David Dunn on January 2, 2008 – 8:31 am - 781 views

A little while back I entered a competition over at Million Dollar Portfolio to win a signed copy of An American Hedge Fund: How I Made $2 Million as a Stock Operator & Created a Hedge Fund.

Went back on their website today and this post tells me that I am a winner

Should be an interesting read as I’ve never read anything like this before and the reviews on Amazon are, how can I put it, a little mixed!

Once I have read it, I plan to give it away again on this blog as I think it would be cool to keep giving it away hopefully this can continue.

Thanks again for running this James.

Win 500 Entrecard Credits

Written by David Dunn on December 31, 2007 – 1:48 am - 1,430 views

I thought it was about time that I posted some sort of competition on FerrariDave.

As there is a large amount of people now actively using Entrecard and reaping the benefits of having the widget on their blog, I have decided to give away 500 Entrecard credits to one lucky winner.

The prize draw is pretty simple and the rules are as follows:

• Post a comment in this post saying you’re in (1 entry)
• Post a comment on any of my other posts (1 entry per comment)
• Post about this contest in your blog (5 entries)

I will then pick one entry at random on the closing date (31.01.08). The winner will be announced on FerrariDave. Good Luck!
