CONTEST: Win a Scangauge or SuperMID

I am happy to announce that GasSavers will give one lucky person a new Scangauge or a SuperMID (or the equivilant in gas cards) to the winner of this contest.

What is the contest? How do you win?
The objective of this contest is to advertise for GasSavers. Every time you advertise for GasSavers (in any way) you are one step closer to getting that first place prize. If you make a blog post, put a link to GasSavers in your signature on other forums, put a GasSavers sticker on your car, etc. please keep a record of it. The person who has done the most, and who has been the most creative will win the first prize!

How do you prove what you've done?
For every time you advertise GasSavers on the internet (links to the homepage are the best) you will need to save the link. If the judges click on the links and your contribution is not there, it will not count. If you use GasSavers stickers, license plate frames, etc, you must take a picture. If you manage to get GasSavers in your local newspaper, on the radio, etc., you must provide either a recording or a copy of the newspaper, etc.

Those interested in participating will receive a private message with an email address. You will send all of your submissions to that email address. If you have a physical item to submit (audio recording, newspaper, etc.) an address will be given to you to mail the item.

Who is judging the contest?
The contest will be judged by myself and Joe Gardner, the administrator of www.bikeforums.net. Judging will be based on creativity, uniqueness, and the number of times you've advertised for GasSavers.

What are the prizes?
1st place (one winner) - Your choice of one of the following four items:

A new Scangauge II
A new SuperMID
A $160 USD Gas Card at the gas station of your choice (nothing obscure please)
the ability to upgrade 8 fellow GasSavers memberships to Red Stars.

2nd place (two winners) - your choice of the following:

A $20 Gas Card
An upgraded membership (Red Star)
The gift of an upgraded membership to the GasSavers member of your choice.

When is the deadline?
All submissions must be received by December 1st, 2006. A winner will be chosen by December 15th, 2006 (if not sooner) and the prize will be mailed out promptly.

well that just takes all the fun away.

As the post mentions, please keep track of everything you do. I will send each of you a private message telling you how to report your accomplishments.

I will be keeping a spreadsheet of all of the links/images/etc. you send me. On December 1st, I will verify the links and remove any that no longer exist.

Check your private messages soon.

what the hell i'll join ;)

i got a link on honda-tech and all my other sites i'm part of and on my website.

Hmm, mehbe I'll poke into this as well, :p

We currently have 6 participants. I know that more of you are capable of thinking of creative ways of advertising.

Besides... who DOESN'T need a scangauge?

As of today, no submissions have been made. At this rate it's anyone's game. Just think, you could win with just one entry!

All submissions must be made to the email address I told you in your private message.

If you want to join in, there is still plenty of time. Get the word out on GasSavers.org!

Perhaps we are busy getting our stuff together :) .... Oh yeah , will you be keeping the entries private untill the end of the competition or posting who they are from and what they are as they come in. ?? (if so I will hold back my entry :D )

Bring it on! Remember, the more ways you can do it the better. Quantity AND quality are factors in this contest.

Check your private messages for information!

And two people have made submissions today :) THe games have begun.

So far we've only received submissions from two people. Submit ANYTHING you can. Mention GasSavers in a post on another message board (with a link), use the signature images on other sites, etc.

Write an opinion piece for your local newpaper and have it published... rent a sky-writing service and have GasSavers.org written in the sky :P

I need a write up that is in plain english. One that can get someone interested in fuel economy that knows nothing. and the 12/1 deadline seems so far away maybee that is why i haven't done anything yet.

I think you're right. Oddly, when I began the contest I was under the impression that it would last for 6 weeks and not 10. I must have somehow erased the entire month of October in my brain.

We can move up the deadline if everyone wants to, or we can just leave it as-is.

Extra time means more chances to have more entries.

Count me in. SuperMID would be killer!

This is still going on, right?
I was going to anyhow, so count me in. =)

If this is still going on, please send me a link for entries as well..

not much time left

Not much time is left in the great Scangauge/SuperMID contest. Many people have entered the contest, but the number of entries is rather low.

Which means...

You still have a chance to win. Anyone has a chance to win. Advertise for GasSavers in the most creative ways possible, and you could win.

If you have a GasSavers.org sticker on your car, please submit a picture of your sticker to the email address for contest entries. It will count.

Good luck!

i told a friend at work to visit this site since he knows about hypermiling and never saw the site, does that count lol?

What date do we have to have all of our submissions in?

I'd like to enter too. Send me that PM when you get a chance. I also have a question regarding the submissions that isn't covered in the disclaimer.

12/1/06 is the last day.

So time to start spreading the word of GS.com

Some Of My Entries....

Might as well do this. I'm sure some of you had the same ideas and it's too late for anyone to really "steal" anyhow.

My Gassavers.org bumper decal is one of my main ads. A lot of people have taken notice, friends, co-workers, and hopefully all of the people that pass me daily on my commute to and from work :D . Even a local guy who happens to have an 89 or 90 CRX HF. He was into FE and might pop up on here hopefully. I always try to park my car in a highly visible spot whenever I go anywhere. I live in a fairly rural area so I imagine that the same people have seen my bumper sticker more than a few times and are therefore that much more likely to visit this site.

Also made up a bunch of random YouTube and GoogleVideos with a GasSavers.org watermark. I figured that for the purposes of the contest they are easy to quantify (each site keeps track of how many views) and online would be my best bet to reach as many people as possible.

Some are boring, some pointless, some have profanity but they were watched by people which was the whole point.
