PHOTO CONTEST: Win an Imlay Canyoneering Backpack from Bogley

[Sombeech]

Congratulations to Josh Gibney on winning the GPS SPOT Tracker last month.

This month's contest is simple, on the Bogley Facebook Fanpage again:

http://www.facebook.com/BogleyOutdoorCommunity



Like the fanpage if you haven't already.
Upload one of YOUR photos to the Bogley fanpage wall (preferably an Outdoor related photo). Only one photo per participant.
Invite your friends to Like the fanpage and then Like your photo.
The photo with the most Likes wins the contest.
Likes from only CURRENT fans of the page will be counted.
The winner of last month's contest cannot participate in this month's contest (sorry Josh) but will be able to join again in the next.
The contest closes August 31st at midnight, Mountain Standard Time.

The LIKES do not need to be from YOUR friends only, just from fans of the bogley facebook page.

Now on to the prize.

2011 Imlay Spry Hybrid Pack Combining the best properties of Cordura and 'Vinyl' packs, Hybrid Packs from Imlay are sophisticated, comfortable and feature-rich, plus are canyon-durable and drain well.

46999

The Spry is a nice size (28L) for quick day jaunts. Tough PVC-laminate armor on the outside, the bottom, the sides and the back makes it canyon-resistant; an expanding back pocket has enough space for a helmet; the side-winder handle works great in the narrow stuff; and put in a plastic framesheet has enough support for carrying loads without twitching out the back. It features an Insta-Drain design that lets water drain from the pack quickly when exiting a pothole.

Weight: 3 lb 13 oz (1725 g)
Volume: 28 Liters


Regular Price - $149.95

Good luck!

Here are a few tips on how to maximize your LIKES, by either SHARING your photo, and/or Tagging your friends.

Too bad your contest's only involve facebook members and not forum members...............

Too bad your contest's only involve facebook members and not forum members...............
The majority of the Bogley fans (members) on Facebook are already registered members on Bogley. The new fans that we gain from these contests through other members Facebook friend lists are joining as new members on Bogley. These contests have been great in helping Bogley grow and getting participation from new blood. Here are a few reasons why its smart to market your product on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics

I do have some ideas for contests that could be run exclusively on Bogley. We should get a thread going to solicit feedback for the next contest. :popcorn:

[Sombeech]

Yeah, we'll definitely keep switching up the contest concepts from month to month. Facebook is a great way to grab more members with the same skills and outdoor knowledge. And we do realize that we need to reward the actual postings of Trip Reports here on bogley too, it's the bread and butter. :cool2:

Thanks for the feedback. We've got something in store next month exclusively here on the forum.

Btw, for this contest I hope you guys realize that one can upload a pic to the page, and then post a linkback to their personal Facebook site and that people can like the photo even though they didn't like the Bogley Page?! That's cheating I would think.

So do you know or tell if each "like" also liked the Bogley fanpage?

[Sombeech]

Yeah, you can compare the list of people who liked the photo side by side with the fans of the page. Thanks for the heads up though.

Yeah really. This contest is surpassing last months in popularity and success in the first week! :cool2:

[Sombeech]

Heck, just join facebook for the sole purpose of uploading a photo to the bogley page just to join the contest..... forget all the other crap.

Takes @ 37 seconds to create an account, @ 1 second to Like the bogley page, and @ 5 seconds to upload the photo depending on the size and internet speed. :cool2:


.....if the prize is worth all that. :mrgreen:

So, I've been looking for a good photo to post, but somehow I don't think my strategy for last month's contest will work this month:

[Sombeech]

It's interesting, it's usually not the coolest photo that wins these things, it's all in the sharing with friends and campaigning for Likes.

She's workin' it!!!!

I'm seeing Imlay Gear posts everywhere. LOL

Go Alison go!

[abirken]

HEHE!!! Sorry , I know it's annoying. Thanks Bogley for making me annoy my FB friends even more. :lol8::crazycobasa: I am only 28 away from a tie!

[accadacca]

The race is on! :2thumbs:

[Sombeech]

I was just asked if the Likes need to be from YOUR friends only, this is not the case. Friends are just the main source (usually) of "Like Revenue".

Sorry if there was any confusion, and I've added a line clarifying that in the rules. You can invite ANYBODY to Like the page, and then your photo.

This contest is getting very interesting in the last days of the month. Good luck everybody. :afro:

. . . can't remember if it was me or Kacey that took this specific pic, but I think I did. I'll call it even if bret halls all the gear for a big canyon and lets me take this little pack one time.

[bretoyce]

I just got my grand canyoneering book we need to plan a trip out that way! :2thumbs: Time to beat up that new pack, its gona earn its keep!

[Krrristi]

arrgghh I tried so hard!!!! :cry1: but I didn't even submit my photo til last wednesday, I guess that's why. I think I pissed off every facebook friend I have. Little do they know since 350 of them didn't like my photo I'll just have to enter the next photo contest and bug them again...:nono:

congratulations bret...maybe I'll get to meet the pack someday in an az canyon :)

I would recommend having both a Kolob and a Spry in the quiver, of course. :stud: But at the moment, I have zero Kolobs, exactly one Spry reserved for this contest, and quite a few Heaps Packs... :naughty: Leps are in good supply too.

Tom

[bretoyce]

Is the spry pack the olive color or the orangish color? That has crossed my mind to upgrade my bag to a heaps but I am still debating.
