Christmas Contest ideas for Blu-Ray.com - Blu-ray Forum

Roland1919 · 11-10-2008, 06:40 PM

Hello gang. Those of you that have been on these boards for a while remember my contest for best screen name on Blu-ray.com, which was won by Creme Blu-Ray who selected BANK JOB BLU as his prize. I would like to sponser another contest for the HOLIDAY Season. Please submit ideas here so I can get busy.

Best fake blu-ray case win movie of your choice of a reasonable price.

While I find that this is a good idea, it seems too easy for people to steal cases they've seen off of other websites (how do we regulate that?) and it might exclude people like myself who have no inclination whatsoever how to create a fake blu-ray case.

My suggestion is: Best blu-ray-related HAIKU... hehe, those are fun. =)

For those who don't know, a HAIKU is a three-line poem, written based on syllables. It doesn't have to rhyme or be gramatically correct... it can be funny, serious, etc...

LINE 1 - 5 syllables
LINE 2 - 7 syllables
LINE 3 - 5 syllables

Examples:

Quote:

My own creation:

Jingle All The Way
Home Alone and The Dark Knight
Christmas will be good

Quote:

A haiku about cottage cheese:

I like Cottage Cheese
Cottage Cheese is my favorite
Yummy Cottage Cheese

Source

Quote:

A haiku about diving:

Standing on the block
Waiting for the buzzer sound
Dive into the pool

Source

Quote:

A haiku about winter:

It's cold outside
There is a chill in the air
Time for your sweater!

Source

Winner can win something like a reasonably priced blu-ray of their choice (eg. something priced $24.95 or under on Amazon)... ?

Maybe the 12 days of Christmas Thread, Get 12 different members to sponsor a contest each day, Nothing extravagant....Maybe a free blu-ray movie or 25.00 to Amazon, If we can get that to work it would fill 12 days of prizes. I would help ya out.

or Maybe run a thread on day one get the contest contestants together, then the next day do a poll to vote on the best of day ones contest.

ixlegitballinxl · 11-11-2008, 07:24 AM

good idea, let the games begin ? lol

day 1, get 10 contestants to post their funniest xmas picture they can find, funniest one wins a blu ray

edit: better make it 25-50, or instead of pics, maybe audio clips ( xmas parodies )

i'll put up a blu for the 12 day xmas event
