Competition Ideas

[Sam]

Hey Guys,

I am looking for some competition ideas for imgs.us (which is an image hosting site). I want to encourage uploading and sharing and some user registration. Basically what I am wanting is:

- Ideas on what sort of contest to run (e.g. who can upload the most, whose topic get's the most interest using an imgs.us uploaded image, which user gets the most views on images etc. - not particularly keen on the last one with Hitleap and other traffic exchange sites).
- How should it be run: here on FP, on another forum??, Using RaffleCopter etc.
- Lastly: prizes. Cash prizes? Someone suggested domains/ hosting which is doable but people might not be all that keen. Gift vouchers? I'm completely open to ideas here.

Thank you very much to anyone who offers up some ideas! 😀

Hi Sam,

Here is a suggestion:
I think you should do a competition where you can get points. To gain points there are a number of things you can do:
1. Upload images: 1 point per upload
2. Points for the most views.
1st most views: 100 points
2nd most views: 50 points etc.

Here is just a suggestion and it could be run on FP.

Prize could be real money. I think that would be attractive.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the suggestion MasterA. Points would be an excellent idea as that way I can promote both uploading and sharing on different social media/ forums. It wouldn't be al that difficult to keep track of which is good. 🙂

I really like your image hosting site so I'd be willing to participate in whatever contest you decide on. I think a rafflecopter contest would be cool or like what MasterA said, a points system.
