Official Rules
What is the contest? The best background photo!
Eligibility: Any of the first ten (10) people to submit a photo are eligible but the
photos submitted must NOT be copyrighted or contain any OPSEC material. If faces are
shown, they will be blurred out for OPSEC purposes unless direct authorization from
the individual is given.
How to enter: There will be two ways you can enter. You can submit me the direct code
of the layout using any of the Myspace profile editors found across the internet. The
second is to send me the photo directly and I'll add the photo as a background. Participants
MUST submit their entries directly to me as I will add them to a special contest page
at the same time to allow for fair opportunities. Keep in mind that this is a popularity
contest, so the cooler the graphic or the better the editing job gets you that much closer
to winning! I would recommend creating the layout in full using a Myspace editor so you can give
your layout that extra PUNCH!
How to win: This is the fun part. Once your entry is accepted and ready to be uploaded
to the contest page, it'll be added to the contest pool at the same time. The winner will
be determined by a calculation of three (3) different aspects of the layout. Users View,
User Comments and User Rating. Each piece has a different point value.
The algorithym will go like this ([Views] x 0.25) + ([Comments] x 1) + ([Rating] X 3) =
Total Score. Take the following layout as an example:
With this sample, it shows a view count as 498, comment 0, rating 10. Using the algorithym
the score for this layout would be (498 x 0.25) + (0 x 1) + (10 x 3) = 154.5. You can rate a
layout as much as you want or view is as much as you can (only one a day will be counted) but
only one comment per registered user will be counted. Attack your competitors through lower
ratings! It's a competition!
What you win: You win a FREE $50.00 Visa Gift Card usable anywhere Visa is accepted. The prizes
will get bigger and better as the popularity grows and sponsors want to throw in to the winnings.
When does it start: Start sending your photos now! As soon as we have ten (10) contestants, it will
begin. I was hoping for an first week of October start so that I can guage the success enough to
determine if a Halloween contest is doable. SO SEND ME YOUR ENTRIES TODAY!
Please title your emails with Contest Entry as I get a lot of various emails daily. All entries can
be sent to webmaster@military-myspace.com (not linked to prevent spam)
I hope to make this big and a regular thing!
