The MyBlogLog Avatar Contest!
Here is a fun contest that I am hosting. It’s called The MyBlogLog Avatar Contest. The contest is actually very simple and very fun to play! Everyone who is a MyBlogLog member is welcome to play (also if you haven’t joined MyBlogLog you can register for a free account and then join in on the fun). If you don’t know what MyBlogLog is, you can visit Kyle’s Cove and read his post to learn more about it. Here is how the contest works:
- The goal is simple. We want to to see who has the best MyBlogLog avatar.
- To participate in the contest, all you have to do is submit a comment on this post. I have installed a plugin called myavatars which will display your MyBlogLog avatar in your comment block here on the site. When you leave a comment, tell me that you are in and want to participate in the contest and maybe drop a line or two about how your created your avatar, how you found it, or why you use it. Basically, give us all just a real quick short story about your avatar.
- All other comments (chat related comments) will be removed. Please only comment if you would like to participate in the contest. I am only accepting comments that state participation into the contest. All other comments at this time will be removed.
- Depending on how quickly this contest hits off will determine the cut off limit on the contest. We will have to just play that by ear. I may only accept 25, 50, or 100 participates into the content. Naturally if it takes a month to get 25 participants, then the limit will be set to 25 and we can move onto the next stage of the contest… Voting!!!
- The voting process is equally as simple as the participating process. Once we have our 25, 50, or 100 contest participants we will begin the voting process. To vote, you have to place one more comment to cast your vote. The only rule to voting is that you can NOT vote for yourself. When you place your vote by comment, you are voting for which person’s avatar you feel is the best. It’s that simple… nothing complicated.
- Once the voting process begins, you CAN NOT update or change your MyBlogLog avatar. If you do so, you will be automatically disqualified from the contest. Immediately after the voting is open, I will be capturing copies of the participants avatars and keeping them on file. Again, if you modify or change your avatar during the voting process, you will be disqualified.
- After all contest participants have voted, I will tally up the votes and crown the winner.
- I am the host and I am not allowed to participate or vote.
- In the situation of a tie, I will be the deciding vote. This is the only situation where I will have any ability to vote or participate in this contest in any way.
- My role in this contest is the host. I am the moderator and my job is to make sure that the contest runs smoothly and stays clean and fun!
- If you should have any questions about the contest, please do not comment here, but rather contact me directly, or find any post on the site to comment on to get in touch with me.
- This is NOT required, but requested: I am requesting that you add this page to your blogroll and title it MyBlogLog Avatar Contest. Again, this isn’t mandatory. It is just a small request. By adding this page to your blogroll it will help speed up the process of finding participants. If you would be willing to create a small blog post about the contest, that would be great also. Whatever you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. If you do add this post page to your blogroll or create a post about it, contact me directly and I will add your site to my blogroll or create a post about your site.
NOW LETS TALK ABOUT PRIZES!!!!
- First Place (Winner of The MyBlogLog Avatar Contest) will receive a $20.00 PayPal.com payment directly from me! * I will send you a $20.00 payment. I am not sure what fees PayPal.com charges, but my payment to you will be in the amount of $20.00. (example: If PayPal.com charges $1.00 fee, then the amount you actually receive will be $19.00)
- Second Place (Runner Up of the MyBlogLog Avatar Contest) will receive 10 months of advertising on Bryan’s Rants (assuming his price for advertising doesn’t increase. Bryan provides banner advertisement service for $1.00 per month. I will pay $10 dollars towards advertising on his site for the second place runner up!
- Third Place will receive a banner advertisement free on my site for one month.
- * First, second and third place all receive an Alexa.com site review and a Technorati Faves add.
Again, if you should have any questions, comments or suggestions, please contact me directly… or find another post to comment on. Enjoy… have fun, and lets see who we can crown the winner of The MyBlogLog Avatar contest! Also, check this post page, because I imagine that I will be adding updates to the bottom of this post.
Best Regards,
Garry Conn

George,
You are officially a participant in The MyBlogLog Avatar Contest. You CAN modify, update or change your avatar during this process of the contest. However, once we lock in on all the participants you will no longer be able to modify, update or change your avatar until the voting process is complete. Depending on how quickly we gain more participants will determine when I stop accepting contestants. This will happen either at 25, 50 or 100. Thanks again for joining in the fun and good luck! First price is $20.00!

I’m in, I want to participate in this contest. My avatar is the Green Power Ranger just because he is so cool. He’s my favorite power ranger and my avatar just brings back the kid in me when I use to wake up in the morning to watch Power Rangers.

Jess,
You need to join MyBlogLog so that your avatar shows up here in your comments. Look at the other commenters and you will see that their avatar displays. Immediately after joining MyBlogLog and after you upload your avatar on their site, it will instantly display over here. You have to have an avatar to participate. You have time, but don’t wait too long…

Hey, might as well give this one a try also. My avatar is a picture of myself taken during a trip to L.A. back in 2004. I had to crop out the other person in the picture, Jay Leno! haha. Anyway, my looks have never gotten me anywhere before, but hopefully that will change now! lol good luck to all who enter!

here I am!!
I used to design this little yellow monster (a non 3d version)on my schoolbooks when I was a teenager.
I also painted it on the wall of my bedroom during one sad sad summer.
Recently I used it as my avatar on some forums, and a green version of it is the official logo of http://www.mapelli.info

Hello Garry,
I’d like to participate. Your avatar contest in a great idea.
Mine has been done with a sequence of pictures, like a stop motion video. It looks like a chocolate tablet eaten by someone invisible.
I’m waiting for hearing from you!

Hmm, that’s odd, let me post again.
Date/Time: 4-7-2007 21:58:35 Comment #877
What’s wrong Jess… talk to me buddy! Let’s see if we can help you out?
If your picture isn’t appearing, you need to leave a comment using the same email address as on file with MyBlogLog. Maybe that is the trouble you are having? Comment back and let me know.

Mine isn’t anything really original or created by me, but it is a pic from the puppet episode of Angel which was pretty funny from what I remember of watching it.
