Amazing how time flies...just over a month ago we put up a fake news/satire writing contest, did some promotion, and the result now is well over 30 contributors submitting about 40-50 stories. Not too shabby at all, and I want to thank everyone that contributed to the contest. Each contributor is going to receive a 1-year subscription to IGotNewsForYou for FREE. Yup, 100%, absolutely, no restrictions apply, free. It's our way of saying "thank you", and we hope everyone will enjoy the service and send pages out to friends, family, coworkers, co-conspirators and others. We're now in the midst of reviewing all of the submissions and a decision on the winner is expected soon. Not that I want to take away the spotlight from the Oscars, but I will most likely announce the winner tonight. I am certain Entertainment Tonight and a host of other entertainment/gossip-related shows will provide the appropriate coverage. Sorry, Oscars... The winner of the contest will get to choose 1 of 4 comedy DVDs we've selected (see: http://www.igotnewsforyou.com/contest.html) and it will be shipped to him/her directly. And what about new contests you ask? I think we'll continue running them - this one has been a success, and I hope with a bit more promotion we can encourage more people to submit stories, generate awareness/buzz for IGotNewsForYou and have a good time all around. Again, thanks to everyone...and stay tuned... (Technorati Tags: writing contest, fake news, satire)
