Contest time.....

[ironwill]

I am putting on a contest here at CBB for you fellas....I am looking for ideas and hope you guys can help...The prizes are.....
5 lbs of whey isolate shipped to your door, your flavour choices x 2 contests.......
I want to run it this week and have the orders out by months end, or beginning of November...
Dante has offered up 10 lbs of his awesome isolates for this endeavour...
Can you guys throw a couple of ideas out for me to run for this....I want to run either one contest, with 2 winners, or 2 seperate contests...Im just not very good at thinking of what to do for a contest...

Any suggestions folks??:tu

[ironwill]

OK, how about whomever figures out a contest that i think will do well, will win 5 lbs, and whoever wins said contest, will win 5 lbs!!!

A contest like what : Dropping weight ? Adding size or strength ? Or a hot dog eating contest :)

What about taking a problem or quesiton from younger or newer body builders and seeing who can complete the best possible answer to this. This does two things provides help to those on the board that might need it and engages those who want to offer their opinions ?

in the old days of the Nexus we use to have contest for the most posts....at the end of the set time period (ie 1 month or 1 week) the top 10 posters names would be put on a poll and other board members would vote for who had the best posts. That way you have to post something relevent and not just a bunch of garbage...the winner of the poll would get the prize....it is a great way to work a contest because it draws up a lot of excitment and can really give the board a boost.......

Good questions, thats why i asked, because i dont know what kind of contest to run......ON THIS forum......Not out on the general board.....
Looking for ideas....:popc2

Ok I think I have an idea. You could have people formulate a pre/post or during workout supplement using the TP website. So they would choose the ingredients and the percentages of each. Then they should justify why they picked different ingredients and the benefits of each. To choose the winner you could either decide yourself or create a poll.

I think it's a good idea because not only are you getting people on the website learning how to use it (and what products are available). You are also generating discussion about nutrition and supplementation.

great idea

I think we should hold a contest to see who can most closely guess the size / weight of the chip on nates shoulder.

I like O-Trains idea

[muskate]

see who can make the biggest one month tranformation, using trueprotein's supplements. bulking or cutting

the members on the forum will vote for the winner

[muskate]

most hardcore trainer on cbb. we all post a video of us doing our most crazy, all out set on our favorite exercise.

then either you or the forum picks the winner of the most hardcore trainer.

How about biggest clown retard on CBB? That way I can win hands down.

O-train's idea was pretty good actually, but it should be modified to include any ingredients regardless of where they are sourced.

Side not: also it should be taken into consideration that more is not necessarily better, so maybe best bang for your buck type of recipe contest.

I see where you are coming from , but this is a TP contest and they carry everything you can think of.

hmmm

So far i really like Otrains idea....I wonder if it would get a few responses....Lets see if we can throw in a couple of more ideas folks....
Ill let this run until The wknd, then pick a contest to run for a week...Sound ok....?

[slick rick]

O trains idea is good and would be informative as well. I think that contest would favor more the supplement guru or trainers though. For hacks like me that don't really take allot of supplements other than Whey and occasionally Creatine, we wouldn"t stand a chance.

Another idea.. write something on how training has been positive influence on you life, or something to inspire or motivate others..

The reason I focused on True Protein Supplements is because IW is looking for a contest specific to True Protein and the products they sell. It doesn't need to be extremely scientific in nature. Actually that's one reason I would have trouble doing a contest like this because I know I would probably get carried away.

I like the addition #8 made of best bang for your buck. That would help people think more about what to add/leave out and make it more realistic. I also think the number of ingredients should be limited to a reasonable number. The number 5 pops into my head but it's up to IW. Also, the specific purpose/time of day for the created supplement mix is up to him too. It could be first thing in the morning, before you go to bed, or anywhere in between.

When trying to think of a contest idea keep in mind that the contest is designed to: generate interest in the company and products they offer and ultimately to sell more product and make more money. At least that's the impression that I got.

[ironwill]

Well, not as much interest as i had hoped....So to keep it simple, I think we should just start a new thread of what you have tried from trueprotein, and what you liked and disliked about products tried.....Then i have picked 2 numbers, and these 2 numbers that have a review in them as post numbers, or the closest to the number without going over will win....In case there are some threads that arent a review, we have to go closest to, without going over...
So if i pick post #3, and #18, then those that put the review in that post will win....ill send the numbers to MP, so there is no accusations of funny biz.........I dont want this to be complicated, i would like everyone to have a shot at recving free 5lbs of isolate any flavor desired....Again, 2 prizes for this...5lbs of isolate each one....
