Yesterday, I announced the New Media Super Contest, where the goal is to get as many sponsors as possible, spread the word using as much new media as possible, and then give away a lot of prizes, including cash, electronics, and a lot more. Yesterday’s announcement began the first phase, sponsor hunting. The sponsorship is off to a great start, with over $1,700 in prizes offered up in the first day. Keep watching the NMSC PRIZE TOTAL badge on the right to see the total go up and up.

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])!
