WINNER ANNOUNCED! Check out www.unitefingerboarding.com to see the winning article happy

------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPETITION OVER! Thanks to all the entrants, winner will be announced asap. happy

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Competition ends tomorrow! Come on, enter, you never know, you might win! Doesn't take that long to write a good article, and you could win $25 to spend at the fingerboard company you write about, or maybe a unite tshirt if people want that instead! Get writing! happy

Last time for entries is 11:59pm UK time on the 20th! happy

---------------------------------------------------------------------

So, unitefingerboarding got to its 100th post today, and to celebrate, and say thankyou to all our readers, I'm holding this competition, WriteToUnite!

The main premise of the competition is simple, write an article about your favourite fingerboard company, and why you think what they do truly demonstrates the essence of what fingerboarding should be about. The winning article will be posted on unite for everyone to see!

The competition aims to get people to have fun with writing about fingerboarding, in the hopes that more forums all over the world will be full of people actually discussing things about fingerboarding, i.e. what fingerboarding means to them and why; rather than just talking about products. Products are good, but, theres not nearly enough 'discussion' going on, and this hopes to inspire people to change that. The competition will also hopefully promote unitefingerboarding, and, well, after getting to our 100 post milestone, its only fair that we get our name out there a bit more. Unite may be from the UK, but it is for everyone, all over the world, and it'd be great if more people over the world came here, and more people saw it as a worldwide, but UK based site, rather than a UK site.

ALSO, a nice reason to do this other than its fun.. The winner will get a $25 gift certificate for the company that they write about! (we're using dollars, as its open to everyone, and everyone in their own currency can relate to dollars)

Send the entries to unitefingerboarding [at] gmail [dot] com
And if you don't know the link to our site, its http://www.unitefingerboarding.com

So, the rules?

-anyone can enter, worldwide, but you must write in english
-the overall best written and most interesting article will win
-choosing of winners + prize distribution is my decision and my decision is final
-you must write an article on a fingerboard company under the premise above
-when emailing in entries, put 'WriteToUnite!' in the subject
-there is no limit on length, but, keep it reasonable. One paragraph is most likely too small, and I don't want to read a whole dissertation either!
-one entry per person
-when entering, please also give your name, age, where you're from, and an email to contact you at if you win

Closing date is 20th October 2010, 3 weeks from now.

ALSO:
Companies read this:
Unite is getting bigger and bigger and we want to help companies from all over the world by putting a link to your site for free on unite. All you have to do is be a friend with us by asking and we'll put a logo up on the friends side bar of our site. Unite is not just for the UK, its for the whole fingerboarding world. So, companies from anywhere are welcome, just look for details in the friends section of http://www.unitefingerboarding.com

Now, everyone, go write something, have fun, and enjoy fingerboarding! happy

Go for it, it'll be fun!

Tbh I'm amazed not a single person has commented on this on all three forums other than you, I think its a pretty cool idea happy AND given how many people pestered me to my writers for unite, now they get the chance to write and maybe win a cash prize, and no one cares?

I'm surprised that noone replied other than you on FFI, but, yea, at least you guys here are up for it.

Just go for it! I mean, writing doesn't take long, a lot less time than filming a massive fingerboard mini. Have fun with it, think of a company you like, go for it, and, you never know, you might win! happy

If you get permission from the owner, then, feel free to ask, or if you know for certain they wouldn't mind.. I just want the company to be happy knowing their link is on the site, not stumble across it and be surprised that its there happy

And, thankyou, thats really nice to know happy

Jonny, yours was the first entry in and a pleasure to read. Nice article. I hope you'll get some worthy competition from everyone else!

I got some nice entries last night! Someone didn't read the rules and forgot to put their name/age/location on though. But they also had spelling mistakes, so, they wont be winning anyway XD

Yea I never use msn, everrr. I think thom added me but I don't ever use msn so we've never spoke there, haha.. You're welcome to ask thom for my addy, and I'll see if I can find a bit of time to come on, but, the best bet is to PM me. Regardless, would be awesome if you (and anyone else for that matter) entered. I've had some good entries so far though ^__^

Except it shouldn't count because you weren't supposed to PM me. I mean, was it hard to read the first post where it said where to send things to? I'll count it anyway, but, yea, two people PM'ed me entries and I think its really annoying when someone doesn't do something as simple as read the post with what to do on.. Some people didn't write about the right subject, and, yea.. Their loss I guess, I have an idea who the winner will be, so, yup, you'll all see soon!

Thankyou, nonetheless, to all the entrants! Competition is now OVER. happy
