User blog:Sarah Manley/September Contests

As we have mentioned here a couple of times in the past, across Wikia we are often leading initiatives, events and contests to help build community and wiki excitement. This week we wanted to update community central on some of the latest fun that is going on.



True Blood Tagline Contest
True Blood Wiki ran a True Blood Tagline Contest last week in honor of the Season 3 finale on Sunday night. To enter, Truebies had to create a tagline for a pretend True Blood promo poster featuring Crystal the shape-shifting werepanther, and oh my Godric there were some great one-liners! Some of our favorites included, 'PILF', 'Some girls always know what to were', and 'The Night Shift.' The True Blood Wiki staff narrowed submissions down from over 200 fangtastic taglines to the top ten, and the True Blood community voted to pick a winner!

And the winner is... Mary Westbrook! To find out the winning tagline, please visit the contest page. Congrats to Mary! Enjoy your True Blood Prize Pack!



Healthy Recipes Wiki Recipe Contest
Do you have an awesome healthy recipe that you want to share? If so, enter it in the Food &amp; Tech: A Recipe For Better Eating contest and Wikia will donate a dollar to a participating food non-profit of your choice. It's a triple win: for you, the community and your favorite food related non-profit! Not only that, but five participants will also win a $50 Sur la Table gift certificate and have their recipe prepared by a celebrity chef at the Food &amp; Tech event in San Francisco. The more recipes you add the better your chances of winning. Only one prize will be awarded per person. September Contests

How do you get started? Add a recipe by simply clicking on the yellow "enter now" button on the contest page to begin. You will be asked to fill out a simple recipe form and select the non-profit food organization that will receive a donation.



Glee Shopping Spree Contest
The Glee Shopping Spree Contest launched today and will run through Monday, September 20, 2010. To enter, all you Gleeks need to do is to register or Facebook Connect for the Glee Wiki, then simply post the songs you hope to hear Glee Club cover in Season 2 of Glee. The most creative song idea will score one lucky Gleek a $200 Glee Shopping Spree at Macy's and the complete Season 1 of Glee on DVD! So tap your inner Gleek, get your creative juices flowing and enter the Glee Shopping Spree Contest!

If you have contest ideas, please post them here. We are always looking for creative ways to reach new users and to grow the Wikia community.
