The contest launched just over a week ago, and we’re still getting sponsorship requests, which is great. November is all about growing our prize pool, so I’m still working with potential sponsors for even bigger prizes. If you want to sponsor, it’s never too late.

This week, I would like to also point out that Bl.ogology.com has thrown a Palm Treo 650 (slightly used – Sprint only) into the prize pool. Thanks, Bl.ogology.com, for adding to the excitement!

The New Media Super Contest has 81 prizes from over 50 sponsors worth over $4,200! Take a look at the prize and sponsor list below.

Premium Sponsors
While we link out to all sponsors as a way of thanking them for adding to our prize pool, we also wanted to thank the premium sponsors, who went the extra mile to add larger prizes to the contest.

Pinky Arcade [UPDATE: PinkyArcade gave us the run around for months until I finally just bought the PS3 myself for the winner]
The 5 member team at Pinky Arcade contacted us early on to ask if we’d like to have a 160GB Sony PS3 to give away in the contest. If you are a gamer, you would notice that this system isn’t released yet and it’s going to be the latest model for the widely popular, PS3. No strangers to giving away tons of free prizes, Pinky Arcade has already given away huge gift cards, consoles, and mp3 players. All these given away for simply playing some free games on the site.

BadEvan’s Gay Blog
Evan also joined up as a sponsor early on, not only by helping promote via Twitter, and other “new media”, but also by throwing in around $1,500 in advertising, reviews, and cash.

EcoPower and EcoVista
The other day, the sales team at EcoPower sent me an exciting email. They had heard about the contest and wanted to sponsor it with some unexpected, but cool, prizes. Their EcoPower and EcoVista products help you save fuel in your automobile and electricity in your home or office. The products are pretty inexpensive, too, so they offered up three of each!

While I continue to pursue and accept lots of new contest sponsors and great prizes, you can be earning early entries into the contest, before it even begins.

Just copy the code below and throw it on your blog, livejournal, myspace, forums, etc. You can also write a blog post about the contest, tweet it, or find any other creative way to spread the word. We’ll be giving out bonus prizes randomly to some of the people who help promote this contest before it starts. By the way, your tweet, blog post, etc. will still count as a regular entry, too.

However you do it, just point people to http://www.joetech.com/suggests/nmsc for the latest contest info.

Here’s what it looks like:

The more buzz we create, the more attractive the contest is to additional sponsors for even more prizes, so spread the word and let’s skyrocket that prize total! We’ve already gotten a great start, thanks to the PS3 offered up by PinkyArcade.com [UPDATE: PinkyArcade gave us the run around for months until I finally just bought the PS3 myself for the winner])!

Here’s a few sponsorship ideas:
- CASH ($10 or more) – Think BIG
- Text link ad on your blog/site for a month.
- Text link ad on your blog/site for a year.
- Banner/125/button ad on your blog/site for a month.
- Banner/125/button ad on your blog/site for a year.
- A free review on your blog
- A free copy/license of your software
- Gift cards to Best Buy/Amazon/etc.
- Entrecard Credits (1,000 or more) – Think BIG
- Any product you would like to purchase – Think electronics (ipod, macbook, headphones, XBox, etc)
- Anything else of real value you want to offer.

The bigger the prize, the higher you get on the sponsorship list. I will start the contest in a couple weeks or so. More sponsors can join in after that, but it’s best to get in early. A big thanks goes to our first sponsor, AFrogToKiss.net. I’ve just announced this thing, and so far we have $500 in sponsorship already (this number will be updated in the image on the right).

I’m also going to be putting in more cash than I’ve ever given out in a contest before, and I’ll up the ante if I reach some goals by the contest deadline, January 1, 2009, so keep watching.

To sponsor or for more details before the contest is announced, email joe@joetech.com with the subject “New Media Super Contest”. Please include the prize you would like to offer and it’s value in US dollars.
