Hi everyone,
I have been doing a bit more thinking about the competition.
What I would like to do is to run the competition as a "raffle". You will be able to obtain "raffle tickets" by providing certain requested information. Certain information will be considered more valuable and so will be worth more raffle tickets!
Some of the information that could be requested may include:
1) Translating certain words phrases on the squidfish site into another language (e.g. Translate Squidfish - The world's biggest squid fishing community into any language of your choice)
2) Providing a squid fishing photo (e.g. a photo of a homemade squid jig, photo of a fishing spot, photo of a squid)
3) Provide the details of a squid fishing company (e.g. a manufacturer of squid jigs)
4) Description of a good squid fishing spot
5) Description of a squid fishing publication (e.g. a book, journal article, etc)
It might be decided that, for example, a description of a squid fishing company is worth 5 raffle tickets and a squid fishing photo is worth 2 raffle tickets. So if you submitted the details of 2 squid fishing companies and submitted 1 photo you would have 2*5 + 1*2 = 12 raffle tickets.
So you then would have 12 chances to win the prizes available for that competition period.
There would be a limit on how many raffle tickets any one person could obtain - perhaps 20 raffle tickets?
Then we would run a prize draw and three winners would be selected "out of the hat". The more tickets you have in the hat, the more chances you have of winning a prize.
The prizes might be:
1) First prize - 6 jigs
2) Second prize - 4 jigs
3) Third prize - 2 jigs
How does something like that sound?

p.s. Mr_Willy, the competition will probably start in a couple of weeks. I want to get everyone's feedback first to make sure the competition is fun and fair.
