Post 1 Year Anniversary Contest

This Contest has been Cancelled


So you want to win a brand new 30 GB 5th gen iPod with video (your choice black or white)
Buy Your Ticket

With the one year anniversary of the Talkingreef podcast quickly approaching, i am commemorating the event with a contest to raffle off an iPod.

How about a Talkingreef edition iPod, one of a kind commemorating 1 year of Talkingreef.
Check it out:


Contest Details
During the month of July we will be selling raffle tickets to win this iPod. You can get your tickets at any time until the end of July. In the beginning of August (the 1 year anniversary) i will be releasing a video podcast where i sill draw the winner and announce who it is.

How to Enter
From today until 11:59 Eastern on July 31st you can buy raffle tickets for $5 each.
This will work like a normal raffle only electronically. Every ticket you buy will be one E-Ticket, and another chance to win. You can buy as many tickets as you want.

You can purchase tickets here: Buy Your Ticket
under Raffle Tickets, select the amount and click order.
All tickets sales will be done exclusively through paypal, sorry, no exceptions

How the winner will be chosen
After the contest closes, i will take a list with all the contest entries. this list will be cut up and placed into a container. at this point i will be working with my daughter who will draw the lucky winner. The entire process will be video taped. only the final drawing will be released as an episode, but i will have the entire video available to anyone who wished to confirm the validity of the drawing process.

Added bonuses
1.) If you are a current "Premium/Contributing Member" you will receive a free entry when you buy a ticket. So if you buy one (or 5) you get one free.

2.) For every 5 tickets you buy you get one for free
buy 5, got 1 free
buy 10, got 2 free
buy 20, got 4 free
and so on

So, if you are a contributing member and spend $25 you will get your 5 regular tickets + 1 bonus tickets + 1 contributing member ticket, for a total of 7 tickets

Confirming your entry
After ordering your tickets you will receive an email from me, confirming your total number of entries. due to potentially high volumes, please allow 24 hours for this confirmation from me. It will be your responsible to confirm your entries and there accuracy.

Fine Print
This contest is open to all registers talkingreef forum members and moderators world wide, except where prohibited. If such contests are prohibited in your area, it is your responsibility, not Talkingreef's to exclude yourself. All entries will be placed in a bucket and drawn at random. The entire process will be recorded on video, the actually drawing will be released as an edited podcast episode. A full video of the entire drawing process in an unedited form will be available by request only. If you feel this is not sufficient to rule out foul play, please exclude yourself from entering. Any disputes of the drawing MUST be made in writing to me VIA electronic mail within 5 (five) days of the winner being announced. No disputes will be accepted after 5 (five) days of the winner being announced. All entrees are final unles this contest is contests gets canceled for legal or other reasons out of my control in which case all entry fees will be refunded in full, however, no entry fees will be refunded if you decide you no longer wish to enter.

UPDATE 6/24/06
Just want to clarify how the bonus tickets work.
for every 5 (five) tickets you buy (5 tickets =$25)
you get your 5 tickets plus 1 bonus ticket

sorry, due to reducing overhead, only through paypal.
however, using paypal, you can make payment with all major credit cards or directly from checking or savings account as an E-Check.

not cheaper, but easier for me to manage. Having all the info in one place allows me one place to keep track of things, and an easy way to check and double check the accuracy of peoples information against my own records
