This is so cool!  I had the good fortune to win a recent contest held by Linda of Nun of a Kind.  I was able to choose from any of the fun Sisters who populate the nunnery over there, and after much deliberation I settled on “Sister Nun of your Business”.  I have her now, sitting on my desk holding a stack of business cards, and making sure I don’t slack off!    I have to say, she is just beautiful.  The workmanship is amazing,  and she looks great standing up there.

Thanks so much Linda, I just love her!

So, as a great big thank you to the Canadian Indie Businesses that make IndieNorth what it is, we’re going to start the contest season with my favourite game:

The Person Above Me

*In order to enter this particular contest, you must be a Canadian running a business in Canada, and you must have a web presence.  Either a shop, or a website for instance.

To enter:

Visit the shop/website of the person who commented above you and comment here about your favourite item or service they offer.

*****You must post your website (or shop)  address  right inside  the comments section of your entry.  That way, the next entrant will be able to visit your site and comment on it for their entry*****

Please do not hotlink your website address in your comment…otherwise the spam filter will jump all over it.  Post your address like this:

www[dot]yourwebsite[dot]com/blah.html

You can enter by playing “The Person Above Me” Once Per Day!

For Extra Entries, once per day, you can:

• Follow IndieNorth on Twitter
• “Tweet” about this contest on Twitter…(be sure to include the “@indienorth” in your tweet, so I see it).

“what’s the prize”, you ask?

This week’s draw will be for one month of banner advertising on IndieNorth!  The winner will supply a 125×125 pixel banner ad, and it will appear in the far right column of IndieNorth for 30 days from the day it goes up!  Hooray!!

“How many winners”, you ask?

Here’s the fun part…since this really is a fun contest, I’m offering the following:

If I get between 1 and 49 entrants, I will award 1 ad spot!

If I get between 50 and 99, I will award 2 ad spots

If over 100 people enter, I will award 3 ad spots

So please, please, please spread the word about this contest…I really think it will be a fun way to get the word around about all the fabulous Canadian talent out there!

The not so fine print…winners will be contacted on September 7th via the e-mail address they provide, and will have 48 hours to provide me with a 125 pixel banner.  If I don’t receive the banner ad by the end of 48 hours, I’ll have to choose a new winner.

Good luck, and please, twitter, facepook, plurk and post about this contest!  Let’s make it a biggie!

And now for something completely different! 

I’m really enjoying all the great feedback I’ve been getting on IndieNorth ad contests, so we’re gonna do it again…BUT!  This time we’re gonna change it up a bit!

You Canadian Indie-business folks work hard, right?  It’s time for a wee little contest just for you!  This time we’re gonna play:

Sponsor Run!

*In order to enter this particular contest, you must be a Canadian running a business in Canada, and you must have a web presence.  Either a shop, or a website for instance.

To enter:

Go check out one of our fabulous sponsors, listed in the sidebar to the far right, and come back here and comment about which shop you visited, and what tickled your fancy!

You can enter once each day, but you must visit a different sponsor for each entry!

For Extra Entries, once per day, you can:

1. Follow IndieNorth on Twitter:  http://www.twitter.com/indienorth
2. Twitter about the contest (one entry per day, please make sure you @ me, and comment here)
   

“what’s the prize”, you ask?

There will be two levels of prizes…

One Static Spot that will appear every time a visitor comes to IndieNorth, in random order, in the right sidebar

Three Rotating Spots will rotate with others in the same section at the bottom of the right sidebar.

So please, please, please spread the word about this contest…I really think it will be a fun way to get the word around about all the fabulous Canadian talent out there!

The not so fine print…winners will be contacted on Monday July 3rd via the e-mail address they provide, and will have 48 hours to provide me with a 125 pixel banner.  If I don’t receive the banner ad by the end of 48 hours, I’ll have to choose a new winner.
