The COTD (Crossword Of The Day) Creation Campaign
posted by devil in: C2w News, Contests

On October 8, 2008 the Contests2win.com Fortnightly Newsletter included a unique tip:

Crossword Creation Campaign

This is an exclusive tip only for our Newsletter readers
The C2W Crossword has a brand new Flash Skin! We will be announcing a Crossword Creation Campaign next week on the blog. The prize is going to be a contract worth Rs 3000 with us! The winner will be chosen to create the Crossword of the Day for a month.

So what do you have to do?
Start creating crosswords which are high on quality! These crosswords can be about anything. Make sure you use the tag: COTD
More details will be posted on the C2W Blog next week.

If you were not aware of this creation campaign then do start reading our Newsletter when we send them. We are going to continue to announce special promotions for our regular readers.

What is COTD all about?
The Crossword engine on C2W got itself a cool Flash Skin sometime back. We are soon going to have a new daily feature  – Crossword Of The Day. Since we have such a cool community of users, we are going to choose a deserving creator who will have the honour of creating this Crossword everyday.

What do you have to do?
Create Crosswords and add the tag COTD to them. Every user can add the tag COTD to ten of his crosswords. You will be judged on these 10 crosswords.

Points will be given on the basis of:

Selection of Topics – Be sure to create contests about a lot of different topics.
Originality – Do not simply copy stuff!
Community Response – Total no. of plays, comments and votes received. Do not try to manipulate this by voting for your contest from different iDs. We can track IP’s and users found doing so will be banned from this competition.

If you add the tag COTD to more than 10 crosswords, we will consider only the last 10 crosswords created.

Prize:

The creators of the 5 best Crosswords created as part of the COTD Campaign will receive a cheque of Rs 500 each along with a brand new C2W Cap!

The Grand Winner will win a contract worth Rs 3,000/- from Contests2win.com to make the Crossword Of The Day for the duration of at least one month. Along with this he/she will receive a Certificate signed by Alok Kejriwal (Chairman) and Raj Menon (COO) and a C2W TShirt and Cap.

The Last Date for Creating a COTD Crossword is November 10, 2008.

    AIDS has killed more than 25 million people since 1981 when it was first discovered in humans.
    Last year alone, it killed 2 million. We must spread awareness and fight social stigma attached to AIDS.
