So, I’ve run a couple of contests before where you could win an iPod Shuffle, but now I’m stepping it up. I’m still offering a Shuffle as a potential prize, but there are two other potential prizes: a new Kindle and a cool grand. Yes, that’s $1,000 US.
Here’s the deal. The contest starts on Friday, April 24 and ends at 11:59 PM on Thursday, April 30. If, by the end of the contest, @ObamaNews gets 175k followers, one lucky follower will win a Shuffle. If @ObamaNews gets 250k followers, I’ll replace the Shuffle with one of a new Kindle. However, if @ObamaNews hits 300k followers, then I’ll replace the Kindle with $1,000.
How do you enter? Just follow @ObamaNews on Twitter. To help us cross the follower thresholds, be sure to tell your friends! Assuming the threshold is crossed, the winner will be randomly selected using TwitRand.
You do have to be a real person to win (i.e. not Starbucks or some other corporation), and you’ve got to reside in the U.S. Sorry, I don’t want to run afoul of any international laws! You’ll also be responsible for any taxes or fees or whatever.
By accepting the prize the winner agrees to let me use his or her name and likeness. This means you’ll probably get some free publicity and more Twitter followers.
Good Luck!
Just lost my job could use the cash to pay bills…
Hi,
Could you consider expanding your competition to include us great fans of Barak Obama down-under?
If you have the budget, and inclination, you might like to contact the company I work for, WAAM, to see if we can assist you with this project in Australia.
Im not really trying to promote our business, but really want to raise as much support and public following as possible for the campaign and great success of Barak Obama
Hello who couldn’t use the cash.
I would love to win this contest!
I have been unemployed for a year and currently enrolled in college to upgrade my skills in the health care industry. My passion is to be able to help and provide comfort for people that are in situations that can become at times stressful.
This is a nice and cool contest. I would love to win it though the odds will be tough to beat. I just bought a new house and could use the money…but then again, who couldn’t. Good luck all.
I Love to read so this would be great and in this economy the money will definitely help. Good Luck to All : )
Good luck to us all!
I’m already following Obamanews – can I still win? Or should I reregister?
I think I should win because I’m such a fan of Obamanews AND the contest launched on my birthday…
I need this lol
Kaz, sorry, I’m not up to trying to figure out international laws concerning contests. Otherwise, I’d be happy to have you be part of the contest.
Davena, no need to remove @ObamaNews and resubscribe. All current followers who qualify (i.e. reside in the U.S. and are persons not businesses) are automatically entered in the contest.
