|
Hi folks,
Ok I was racking my brains trying to come with a new competition for the site and I came up with the following rough idea. Let me know what you think:
Article Writing Competition
---------------------------
Write a "How To" article for the site related to any of the forums.
Examples of possible "How To" articles could be:
- How To Prune a Rose Bush
- How To Save Time in the Garden
- How To Cook a Perfect Lasagna
- How To Build a Simple Book Shelf
---------------------------
I could offer another $50 Amazon Certificate as they seemed to have gone down well in the previous two competitions. I think this competition would be great not just for the lucky winner but also it will add even more informative articles for visitors (and subsequently will attract more members). Articles would be roughly between 250-700 words and you would be able to enter as many articles as you would like to.
Sound good

I too think it is a great idea. With the people that we have from different parts of the world, I think it would be interesting!
