100 Fan Contest! ($45 worth of prizes!)

Posted by Back-From-Purgatory - June 8th, 2011

I regret to inform anyone that is tuning back in, or tuning in for the first time, that due to a lack of interest (Being unable to reach the minimum entries in a reasonable time period), I have dropped the choice prize from the contest.
And I will be drawing from those that have entered for the predetermined prize shortly. I will give until Wednesday morning for any new entries to be sent in, and then will be drawing the winner.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This contest has been revised to allow for a greater number of people to both find and participate in the contest before the deadline. See the Deadline section for the changes. Those who have already entered are still entered, so don't worry, you don't have to send in another entry.

Alright! The time has come for my second fan appreciation contest, as I've reached the 100 mark! I had gone over a few details in my previous newspost to get you guys more or less prepared, but I'll be skimming over them again in this newspost just so I have everything in one place.

First off, this one is going to be a lot simpler and easy to enter than my previous contest, and the winner will be a lot more random.

Rules:
-You must have me as a favorite artist to be eligible to enter (It is a fan appreciation contest after all)
-You are not eligible to enter if you have won a previous contest, I'd like to spread prizes around as I move forward! (Sorry Kirby!)
-Those who wish to enter must have a Steam account, or be willing to make one, as the prizes will be handled through the Steam Client.

How to Enter:
Simple, all you have to do is send me a PM with the following information:

1: How did you first discover my music?

2: Which of my songs is your favorite and why?

3: What would you like to see from me in the future?

And that's it! Easy peezy! Please keep in mind, I may disqualify people for including 1 word type answers, be descriptive!

How the Winner will be chosen:
Everyone that enters will have their name thrown into a hat, and the winner will be the first name I pull out (Without looking of course).

The Prizes:
-1 copy of Frozen Synapse.

The Deadline:
I will be drawing the winner once the contest reaches a minimum number of participants (10 entries). This is to allow more people to find and participate in the contest. If such a number of entries takes too long to reach (The time before this change is made will be chosen at my own discretion, and suggestions from participants), I will then be taking the choice prize off and drawing from the current entries and the winner will receive the predetermined prize (I.E. Frozen Synapse).

Suggestions?:
As a final note, if anyone should have suggestions for future contests, prizes, or anything at all, feel free to shoot a PM my way! I know not everyone is a gamer, but at this time, games via Steam are a fairly fool proof and inexpensive way (I'm not rich you know! This is out of my own inside out pocket!) for me to show appreciation to my fans.

And that is all, good luck, and have fun! I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say!

Sorry but I don't really get this. Basically you get people to add you as a favourite audio artist and in turn they could win a Steam game or something like that? If this is the case then doesn't it kind of defeat the point in that people will just add you to get a chance of winning rather than because they like your music?

I'm taking precautions to avoid giving out prizes to those who added me specifically to try get free stuff, don't worry.

Ok well fair enough but if you're going to do competitions like this, it might happen a fair bit. If people like your music they'll naturally add you to their favourites list, you don't have to do things like this it's not necessary.

I'm not doing this to gain fans, I'm doing this to thank the fans I have.

cool marketting strategy.... I guess....

nvm ignore me : |

Was gonna say... I'm not making any money, so I'm not sure how this is a marketing strategy... I'm losing money by doing this. Like I said above, this is my way of thanking those that have favorited me over the years.

yeah she would make money if she ad work from sort of studio or company or an album but unfortunately it not the case imo lol it just a gift of appreciation to the fan

But i think she will gain money by make album or something she good musician :) either way there will be lucky people in that contest lol
