Prize #14-1

We’re giving YOU the chance to decide!

We’ve been picking prizes and sponsors so far, and it’s been a BLAST.  In fact, it’s been so much fun watching you guys interact with our sponsors and cruise their websites for clues, that we want to give you the chance to seek out the next big contest sponsor!

So here’s the deal: we have THREE FIVE $10 iTunes giftcards that need to be given away.

They are going to THREE people who enter the contest.

Enter by RT’ing this post (hit the RETWEET button!) and leaving a comment below answering the following question (Before 8PM EST on Thursday 3PM EST on SATURDAY):

Q) What company or brand would YOU like to see sponsor a Tweet-A-Prize contest, and why do you you think Tweet-A-Prize users will fall in love with them?

Then, before the end of the contest, go and vote (hit “like”) on at least FIVE other comments.

Prizes:

ONE THREE $10 iTunes cards will go to the top rated idea.

ONE $10 iTunes card will go to the idea we think is the most creative.

ONE $10 iTunes card will go to a RANDOMLY drawn commenter.

So why does this fit the whole “scavenger hunt” formula? Because we’re depending on YOU to drag up as much info as possible to make this a believable contest!  The more details the better: Tell us what kind of prizes would be included, what kind of scavenger hunt would ensue, and how we’d convince Tweet-A-Prize! contestants to check this sponsor out!  Include links, outlines, and whatever else you deem necessary :)

Don’t forget: you need to vote for (hit “like” on) at least FIVE of the other comments to be qualified!  AND if you want to have a shot at winning, we need to know who you are on Twitter.  So if you don’t login to comment with your Twitter credentials, make sure you include your twitter username in your comment.

This contest will run until 8PM EST on Thursday 3PM EST on SATURDAY (June 13th, 2009).  Get your answers in and start convincing tweeps to vote for your idea NOW!

And here’s our promise: Whatever company/brand suggestion wins, we will do the best we can to convince them to sponsor a Tweet-A-Prize contest!  :)

Go RT and comment NOW!

———————————————–

UPDATE: Upped and EXTENDED!  You guys are doing such an awesome job that we’re upping the ante to $50 iTunes total ($30 to the top prize, and $10 to the other two) and extending the deadline to SATURDAY at 3PM EST!  That should provide some extra incentive to lengthen those suggestions and grab some votes!

UPDATE #2: If we happen to end with a tie for the “most liked” post, we’ll split the $30 iTunes between the winners.

    Congrats also to all of the other winners!! I LOVE thinkgeek.com btw;)

    I am spreading the word about tweetaprize!!!
  • cesalmon
    I would love for Trader Joes to sponosr some gift cards. Its a great place to shop - something for everyone.
  • I've tweeted! How about a Wii Fit??
  • How about Archie Mcphee (mcphee.com)? I love their novelty items!
  • Everythig added so far sound terrific. Visa or Mastercard gift cards are my favourite tho... can be used anywhere!
  • How about Apple? Get them to give away new iPhones or even iPods or gift cards so that you can get what you want!
  • How about ePrize? They are one of the biggest contest / sweepstakes companies out there.
  • Hershel
    Exxon Mobile or Sams Club
  • berecca6863
    I think that is an awesome idea!
  • Nicole
    I would say Lulu's. :)
  • I would love to win a gift certificate from VISA or MASTER CARD ... $30 Thanks. feix62
  • mjohnson2183
    I really love this idea!
  • madly59
    I VOTE FOR THIS ONE!!! Visa or Master Card! Heck yea!
  • Cassandra Berholtz
    I still would love to see Omaha Steaks GC given away!
  • AngelicMe
    I would honestly love to see DeviantArt (http://www.DeviantArt.com/ and @deviantART) be a sponsor. Many of us can either enjoy great art or love to post art even if they're just little doodles of this or that. Quite a few of us even have accounts there. Its a fun place to hang out, talk to people, and browse art.

    I think the scavenger hunt would be a bit difficult but definitely a lot of fun. We could have to find the artist of a certain piece of work, or find a piece of work and give the title and artist's name. lol I'm never good at details, but it could go something like that.

    Prizes, now that would be awesome. XD I can only image. Maybe a full year subscription, or a free print of our choice, or something from the very amazing DeviantArt Shop! XD

    I think that DA would be a great sponsor. They're a huge site and most people have at least heard of the site. The site itself is really popular and so is their twitter account. :) I think it would bring quite a bit of advertising to T-A-P.

    Either way, I think it would be a lot of fun if nothing else. :) Plus the prizes would be so worth it!! XD

    There is a website called www.PoshGourmet.com They are based in California, not your usual huge corporation so it should be easier to reach an executive officer to get them to sponsor prizes. They carry a unique line of products food which appeal to both Males or Females. Their website is a bit tricky to navigate through because they don't have a search box so therefore it would be a Great scavenger hunt site.

    Please vote for my idea. = )
  • Blissfull1
    How about www.Jollytime.com Popcorn appeals to both male or female consumers. There is a wide variety of flavors to choose from. Who doesn't like popcorn? I know that in the past they have sponsored another website that I frequent. The site is searchable, and well organized. Prizes could be inexpensive to ship since they come in the form of a grocery store coupon. One coupon...One Hundred coupons?

    2 stores that come to mind are Sephora and Fred Flare. Fred Flare has the coolest, most unique items I've ever seen. The website is packed with items we could search for and expose many more people to their offerings. Check out fredflare.com. Sephora is the one-stop ultimate beauty blowout store. If they sponsored a prize again the hunt would be very interesting and the extensive site would give endless possibilities for making the clues. Thousands of brands would get exposure as well. Maybe the brands could offer the mini prize for daily clues and the big prize could be a Sephora gift card so any brand could be purchased. Check out sephora.com. Twitter name: butterdaisy 8^}
  • It would be great to have a Popcap Tweet-a-Prize sponsorship set up

    Out of their games out on the app store, the two most recent (and my two favorites) are Bookworm and Peggle, both of which I don't think get enough attention as it is.

    Peggle is truly the best!!! I think people would fall for the gameplay dynamic, as it's really addictive, and as of now it's only $1!!! (I think an update is coming)

    Hope I win :D
  • I think a good sponser would be big App Store developers! Like Smule, Gameloft, etc. Also, a other good sponser would be Apple Inc. Both of these are very popular and it would help gain a lot of popularity.
  • bkfilmsco
    How about perpetualkid.com? They have tons of crazy kooky and handy items. Check them out, they really have some cool stuff!
  • luckytoddler
    How about Buy.com as the sponsor? I'm sure they've got a wide range of possible prizes that would interest Tweet-A-Prize followers.
  • grantwin
    I agree that and Amazon prize would be great!
  • Grant
    How about Xbox? I could use a few new games
  • Kitchen-Aid. Tweet-A-Prize users would love this because it would be a great addition and help in our kitchens.
  • Eye-fi. I'd love one of those SD cards with wi-fi, especially the Explore on that also geotags your images.
  • Those things ARE pretty awesome :) Upload directly to photo-sharing sites from any digital camera? I'm IN!
  • How about a gift card from Tractor supply company. This way we are not limited to just one single prize but can pick out something we may need like food for our animals or clothing, supplies for the home
  • ThinkGeek.com should be the sponsor. They are on Twitter @thinkgeek and they have lots of quirky and fun gifts, there has to be something for everyone. A lot of what they sell is unique to the site, and isn't something you'd find in stores. A grab bag or a gift card would probably be the best thing to offer from ThinkGeek since there is so much to choose from. I know I would be very happy winning anything from ThinkGeek because they are unique and exciting - Just like Tweet-A-PRIZE!

    For the scavenger hunt, there are so many options since there are so many fun and zany products. They also have fun descriptions, so you could grab scavenger hunt clues from there. There are so many formulas for scavenger hunts you could choose from, and it would be fun because the toys on there are so much fun, and the descriptions are detailed and would really bring buyers to the page!

    Another option for the scavenger hunt would be to pull up images of some of the products and ask for the name of the product since a lot of these items will be new to Tweet-A-Prize hunters.

    This sponsor would be very successful because it would bring traffic to both ThinkGeek and Tweet-A-Prize, since ThinkGeek has a major following on Twitter.
  • I love THINKGEEK! THIS is a good idea.
  • Lisa L
  • Lisa L
    good ol amazon. all kinds of goodies there and you don't have to be a paid member like dum ebay
  • LuckyCanuck
    How about Coppertone, Neutrogena, etc. for a big basket of sunscreen and sun products for summertime?
  • mollythedawgg
    How about some clothes?! Urban Outfitters (or Gap, A&F, etcc) can donate some neat clothes and accessories as well as gift cards. We always see prizes about music and electronics, but a sense of style is still always important (and appreciated)!
  • you can get some of the sinking car companies to sponsor you :) GM or Crysler. They're in the red anyhow :)
    One car would get them A LOT of twitter attention, and your site a lot of hits as well as followers.
    Give away a car :)
  • I think you guys should get a big company like Apple to sponser you. Or maybe ebay.com. . If any of them sponsered you, you would be well known, popular, and a great company. Everyone loves Apple for thier great products (i.e. macbook, iphone, ipods, etc.) they could help you host some giveaways such as giveaways from Apple products or iTunes Gift Cards or Apple giftcards. Anything like that.

    Ebay.com could help you because they are a popular online company that could sponsor your giveaways on their front page or something like that. You never know, you could be the "next" thing/website/giveawayer. Lol

    Baskin robbins ice cream! Yum yum!
  • thediggs
    How about a gift card that can be used almost universally! Let's have Visa or Mastercard sponsor a contest where you can win a gift card that you can spend it as you please! Buy movie tickets with it. Get groceries. Go out to dinner. Buy an inflatable chair. It's all up to you and thanks to tweetaprize, you can buy what you please!
  • princessmindy
    I would LOVE to see a bath and body works gift certificate. plus they have things for men and women!!
  • greatdecay777
    How about Ebay.com? You could receive a gift certificate and buy whatever used stuff you would like! You're not limited to a particular item (like CDs or Books), ebay is endless! Memorabilia, clothes, toys...you name it, they've got it! Everybody loves ebay!
  • How about the Vans Warped Tour as a sponsor??? The Vans Warped Tour is almost headed out to a city near you, and what better way to have fun this summer than checking out your favorite bands LIVE! Prizes could be tickets, VIP passes, free food vouchers, free Vans shoes, free CD's -- the possibilities are endless!!! All sponsored by the Warped Tour 2009!
  • I think you guys should totally get, for instance, gamestop or another video game related sponsor, trust me alot of the people i know on twitter love video games, including me lol

    twitter.com/evanmaroun
  • Starbucks because it's addicting.
  • I would choose gift certificates for the KFC grilled chicken- some of the questions on the scavenger hunt could be:

    name an item on the KFC website with zero trans fat
    what are 2 items included in their Big Box meal
    how many pieces of chicken are in a half chicken meal
    how many total fat grams and calories are in a grilled chicken drumstick
    how much do their short sleeve tee shirts cost

    questions like that that take them through the site and give them the chance to try to win a GC for the unfried taste of KFC!
  • Abby
    I would love to see an American Girl doll. This is a timeless gift that every little wants!
  • You should try Popits.com I just won a contest through Stylit.TV and won a pair of Popits flip-flops with a Popits shooting star charm, they're pretty sweet! They have other items and charms too!
  • How about a nice night out???
    A gift card for Dinner and Drinks at Joe's Crab Shack or other fun style restaurant
    How about a night at the movies? A Regal Cinemas Gift Card???

    I know I could use a fun night out with friends...
  • How about having Newegg as a sponsor? Newegg.com is one of the BEST online stores ever with all kinds of products ranging from computer products to clothing, toys, beauty, and auto products and much, much more (via neweggmall.com)
  • Some sweet Apple gear would be nice :)
  • jamiehigh
    @jamiehigh

    Sponsor: Kodak
    Prizes: so many products to choose from All-In-One printer for grand prize, digital camera for another, digital frame for another, gift certificate for Kodak film or single use cameras ... you get the idea
    Website has many places to visit to get clues.

    I would love to see a Disney sponsor - Free Disney World vacation - how great would that be!
  • anything apple would rule!
  • I'd like to see a t-shirt given as a prize but the t-shirt has anything as a tweet written on it. Best tweet wins competition!
  • So who sponsoring? (that was the question). Include that, and get people pumped up, and you might have a contender! :)
  • benkog
    Unfortunately, the gas prices are going back up for the summertime. How are we all supposed to get around to all our crazy summer events when the drive there will cost a fortune?! How about a sponsor like Shell or Chevron which will give out gas cards? This is definitely a prize that anyone will need...despite who they are and where they live. Talk about a great reward!
  • Interesting idea! That's one we definitely hadn't thought of yet. Anybody have any connections in the big gas companies? Send 'em our way! :)
  • KillerRed09
    I will love to sees a ps3 giveaway Or ill love u two giveaway a a starbucks 40$ gift card
  • Apple gift cards please so we can get the NEW SUH WEET iPhones!
  • JoeyfromSC
    I would love to see Amazon sponsor a contest!! They have great deals on all types of merchandise and everyone would love a giftcard from them!!

    Thanks for the give-aways!
  • Haha - you're welcome :) We'd LOVE to have Amazon as a sponsor too! :P
  • I would love to see Victoria Secret gift cards as a prize. The females would love it to shop there and the males would love to buy lingerie for their significant other. It's a win win for everyone!
  • It's summer and one of the biggest events in summer are concerts and movies so when it comes to concerts:
    Sponsor - LiveNation.com
    tweet-a-prize is what replace contest at Fanscape.com and since fanscape.com is about music I know that a low of the people participating might be their interest in music and concerts.
    Therefore, the prizes could be various. Such as, a pair of tickets to a summer show in your area. Its better not to specify since if you do, then less people would participate. (and we know you don't want that ;) )
    You could also give t-shirts as prizes or cds. But the big prize is the pair of tickets for sure.
    Now, when it comes to the clues to win the prize, you could ask questions about the bands whose shows would be giving tickets away, or about the Arenas/Theaters where the shows would be happening. Also, questions about the actual LiveNation.com website.
    You can give the hints linking to musicians' blogs, bands' websites, the livenation website, the official arenas/theater website, etc.

    And who wouldn't check LiveNation.com?!
    - you can get exact info about concerts
    - buy tickets
    - their special "No Fees" Wednesday
    - info about the arenas/theaters
  • Oooh --- likin' the enthusiasm & details :) Keep it up!
  • carolynw
    The two most popular prizes being given away right now are the FLIP camcorders and the new iPhones. Why TAP users would fall in love with them is because people that love technology love new gadgets.

    Would you get the companies to sponsor directly or would another sponsor giveaway one of those prizes??
  • We'll try to get the sponsors directly --- that's why we're asking for sponsor ideas, and not prizes. A lot of times they'll go together though (of course). And we're always open to a sponsor providing prizes from another brand :)
  • Charmaine
    http://www.mimoco.com/shop/
    I think they would be a good sponsor because they have done contests before and I think they would like doing a contest again. They pretty much have a usb drive for everyone.
  • Tammy
    A Target gift card, because you can get so many things at Target.
  • I think that it would be awesome if you were to get Nintendo as a sponsor. Prizes could include games and peripherals for their systems, and a Wii or DSi would make an awesome grand prize.
