Fun Hacked Gadgets Contests

Okay, our contests might not be as interesting as the girl in the bikini but it must be a close second? 🙂 We have been having lots of fun with contest here for years but there have been a few recent ones that really stand out. We run weekly contests that start on Saturday mornings and run for the entire week, we also have the occasional special contest such as the New Years Comment Contest that we are running right now. Another notable contest was the Show us your Workbench Contest from last year, the entries were all fantastic.

I want to thank the numerous sponsors who add to the fun of participating in the contest by providing great prizes for the winners. I think we had our hardest contest and our most entered contests this month. The Name the Thing contest 110 was the hardest to date. Usually about 15 minutes into the contest there is a correct entry, this time there were 8 wrong guesses before the first correct answer came in about 2 hours after the contest started. The Name the Thing Contest 109 had a huge 252 entries, the item to guess was a tube tester.

Thanks to everyone who has participated in a contest here and good luck in future contests, if your company would like to participate as a prize sponsor we would love to hear from you also.

    No she can’t be the next prize, the server would crash and I would be up all night getting it online again.


  6. Hey Multi Screen,

    I just had to scroll down a bit further so that I could concentrate on responding to these comments. 🙂


  7. On a side note. Don’t do a Google Image search for the word “contest” with safe search off when looking for images to use on a G rated Web site.


  8. Thanks Alan, on my way to google images!
