a7Oyj02GfbSTlFJX43HHQ I’ve been curious about doing a contest around here for awhile, but I hate the concept of judging a contest, so I decided to open it up and let readers be the judge through the comments.

It’s progressive because I figure, the more page views, the better the prize will be (because I get paid for page views). There will be only one winner for this contest, but the prize will just get better for each level of page views.

0805-Photoshop Let’s go through the prize list* first of all.

1,000,000 page views - Nikon d40x

750,000 page views - Photoshop

500,000 Page views - 80gb iPod

250,000 page views - 22″ LCD Monitor

100,000 Page Views - Original Art from Josh Simpson, small megaplanet

50,000 Page Views - $50 via paypal

* winner can choose to also take the equivalent in a cash prize via paypal.

Apple iPod Video 80GB Black

Here’s how it will work. To enter the contest, all you have to do is write a post for Artist Hideout of 150 - 250 words on the subject “What does art mean to you?” Make it funny, make it memorable, and make it creative (videos accepted). Email it to: william@b5media.com with the subject title “What art means to me“

Then, you can ask friends, relatives, readers of your own blog to come and comment over on your guest post and share what art means to them too in the comments. Each comment works as one vote for you.

E228WFP 300 At the end of August, I will tally up the votes to see who has the most and send out the prize earned by page views.
