Contest + Work

Just so you know, I have no internet connection at my new place. Ugh, sucks I know. I can only go online in the office, but that won’t be a long time, plus I only use my iPhone so it’s really limited. The first week of work is filled with tours and orientations. The place where I am working is an almost 800 hectares compound so it’s really huge. There are two beach resorts, a forest trail filled with wild monkeys and boars, a shooting area (and I mean guns), a fishing village, banana and coconut plantation, sea port (for export), botanical garden, cattles ground, you name it… so there are really a LOT of things that I need to know. The following week would still be orientation time, but by June 15, the real training starts. And I heard it’s going to be tough… *confused*

To Do List:

  1. Event survey analysis
  2. Market Plan to be partially presented to the CEO
  3. Tarpaulin designs for both beach resorts
  4. Brochures

Deadline: Monday, June 08, 2009

*jumps off the window*

So about the contest. I decided to have two. The first one would be the random draw. The other one would be more difficult- a poster making design and also bigger rewards.

So this is how it will go. For the random draw, it’s only a matter of luck. Each contestant gets only a maximum of three entries. If you write a post about this contest, you earn one entry. If you continue any of the phrases  I will enumerate below, you earn two raffle entries. (Your answers may be inserted in a blog post) And the phrases are:

  • If Jose Rizal is a teenager in this lifetime…
  • If Adolf Hitler has a Facebook account…
  • If Socrates is a pirate…

Be as creative as you can. :D There will only be THREE  lucky winners for this contest who may choose any of the following prizes:

  1. .info domain (1 year) + lifetime unlimited hosting
  2. Special item (Accessories, bags, etc, etc. I will post the items on the next entry and winner may choose anything he/she likes.)

Leave the link of the blog post so I can include you in the contest. Deadline for submission of entries is on June 20, 2009.

The other contest will be the poster designing contest. If you’re up to the challenge, leave your name, email and url in the comment form. Registration for the contest ends on June 15, 2009. By that date, I will email the photos to be used to the contestants. Deadline will be on June 30. (Salary day, LOL)

First prize is Php 500 (convertible to $$)+ three months advertisement + two special items

Second prize is Php 350 (convertible to $$)+ two months advertisement + one special item

I’m still deciding whether to have a third place or not. That would depend on the number of contestants.

More prizes will be added as soon as I think of new ones. :D

Questions? Don’t hesitate to ask. :)

PS: Photoshop will be used to create the poster. I’ll provide the pictures, you design it into a poster. No size required, but the clearer it is, the better. :)

    Haha at the last phrase. Made me laugh. Thanks for the image. ;)

    You know, I am useless when it comes to taking pictures (mostly when I am on them). I always seem to capture my thumb or shake too much. Or blink the second someone takes a picture.
    So I have to thank you very much for the compliment.
