EntreBlast’s Summer Credit Splash

By User ImageCasey | August 11, 2008
It’s finally here folks! After over a month of talking and collecting Entrecredits, the Summer Credit Splash is finally here! The contest prizes are just pure ECs. We’ve got a total of 36,000 ECs up for grabs spread over just a few lucky winners. The goal was to hit 30,000 ECs but thanks to a few generous last minute sponsors, the prizes have been upped! This is the first ever EntreBlast contest, but certainly not the last. I’ll keep this as organized as possible. So, who wants to win some Entrecard Credits?

The Prizes

I thought about just having three winners but I don’t think that’s fair. There are 6 EC prizes up for grabs, increasing your chances of winning something!

1st Prize - 17,000 ECs

2nd Prize - 10,000 ECs
3rd Prize - 6,000 ECs
4th Prize - 2,000 ECs
5th & 6th Prizes - 500 ECs

The Sponsors

Time to thank those who have contributed to the contest. Or else, there wouldn’t be nearly this many ECs up for grabs!

4000 ECs


MeAndMyDrum

1000 ECs

Entering is simple. Earn points by completing certain tasks. The more points you earn, the more entries you’ll receive for the contest. So, if you complete a lot of things as opposed to doing just one, your chances of winning will be greatly increased! Keep track of your own points, and at the end of the contest, a post will be up instructing you to comment on it with your point tally. So, open up Mircosoft Word, and make sure to keep track of how many points you’ve earned. Make sure to link to everything you do. Well, everything you can link to anyways. Comments you make, posts you write, things like that should be linked to so you can just copy and paste your tallied list into a comment at the end of the contest.

Ways to Earn Points
Subscribe by E-mail to EntreBlast (required) - 2 points. Enter your e-mail in the field below to subscribe to EntreBlast. In addition to getting points, and being able to enter the contest, you’ll be recieving new posts from EntreBlast to your e-mail address regularly! If you are already subscribed, you’re already in! Must be a valid e-mail address.
Enter your email address:

Make a quality comment on any post - 1 point. You can earn a maximum of 3 points for this one. So, make 3 comments on posts and you’ll have earned 3 points. Plus, it will bring you closer to being the top commentator!

Be the Top Commentator on EntreBlast for the week - 3 points. Be number one on the Top Commentator list (located in the sidebar) by the end of a week and earn three points. However, there are three chances to be the Top Commentator over the course of the contest, so if you happen to be the top commentator every time, that’s 9 points!

Blog about the contest or EntreBlast - 5 points. Blog about the Summer Credit Splash or just blog about EntreBlast, and you’ll earn 5 points. Be sure to link to either this contest post or EntreBlast.com.

Blog about the contest and list all sponsors - 10 points. This is a big one. We want to show our sponsors who’ve made this possible some love. Blog about this contest (still need to link to this post) and copy the list of sponsors and include it in your post, and earn double the points. You won’t earn 15 points for doing this (combining this one with the just blog about the contest one). Either pick this one or that. But, doing this one will double your chances of winning!

Track Your Points
Remember to keep track of your points as you go along. I won’t be collecting point tallies until the contest is over! To make it easier, I’ll tell you how you should keep track of each thing you do.

-Subscribe to e-mail to EntreBlast (required) - Just remember the e-mail address you subscribed with.
-Make a quality comment on any post - Track the name you use for commenting, and link to the posts you comment on.
-Be the Top Commentator on EntreBlast for the week - Nothing. I’ll keep track of these.
-Blog about the contest or EntreBlast - Just a link to the post.
-Blog about the contest and list all sponsors - Remember the link to the post.

And that about wraps it up! Confused? Don’t hesitate to ask questions either via the contact form or you can ask your question in this post.

The contest ends September 1st, three weeks from now. The next day I’ll collect points and on September 8th I’ll announce the winner!

Good Luck!
