AnimeShinbun March 2013 Contests
Hey everyone. Hope you all were able to spend some time with a special someone on Valentines Day. And if not...well, I hope you at least made a killing on the chocolate sales the day after. Or maybe you're just holding out for White Day on the 14th of this month? ;)
LOYAL READER LOTTERY:
When you visit AnimeShinbun at least once during every 24 hour period during March, you'll gain an entry into our Loyal Reader Lottery! If you want to keep track you can follow along with your Daily Visit score*, so if you want to make sure you've logged in during a 24 hour period check this score on your profile!
* (The Daily Visit score displayed on your profile can occasionally be a little inaccurate. When we actually pick the lotto winners, we pull the data from a more accurate list. So for those of you visiting every day diligently but not triggering the Daily Visit score reward, don't stress out!)
Prize: 1 winner - a $50 Amazon Gift Card each!
COMMENTATOR LOTTERY:
Pretty much self-explanatory this one. Each and every comment you make on AnimeShinbun (regardless of if that's in a news story or blog) during the month of March will net you an entry in this competition. And to make things interesting...we'll give you entries for every tip you contribute as well! So no excuses for not contributing those extra stories now when you hit your news submission limit. ;)
Prize: 1 winner - a $50 Amazon Gift Card each!
BEST USER BLOG:
You must post a User Blog in the month of March! There's no limit to how many wonderful User Blogs you can write and enter, anything you author here on AnimeShinbun during the month of March will be eligible. What we'll be looking for is an interesting blog that sparks off conversation and interest amongst other users.
Prize: 1 winner - a $50 Amazon Gift Card each!
CONTRIBUTOR CONTEST:
How many stories can you submit? Every news story you submit on AnimeShinbun during the month of March will get you 1 entry, and we'll be picking 2 winners at random from those entries.
Prize: 2 winners - a $50 Amazon Gift Card each!
With all of our contests, you'll be disqualified if you pick up a restriction of any kind during the contest period. Comments with negative labels (Trolling, Off Topic, etc.), unresolved reported stories, etc, will not count to any competition.
In the interests of fairness, each entrant will only be eligible to win one prize per month. If your name comes up for multiple prizes, then we'll be awarding you the highest value one and redrawing the others.

But I hope I win prize too.
Iron sharpens iron anyway, so the possible long-lasting effects of me winning "too much" can consciously implore other posters to improve on their blogging/reviewing abilities to the point of them constantly outperforming me. And vice versa if I'm continually losing again and again.
So if someone randomly doesn't like someone else's post and labels it as "trolling" or something, a person is disqualified for the entire month AND all contests?
Hehe all good now :)
Very well played. I thank you for your generosity and good-will in doing this. In addition, I wish the best of luck to everyone participating.
