This month's contest (September 2011) will take place right here on Bogley, and we will be counting the number of members that reply to your Trip Report.

...NOT the total number of replies or comments, but the NUMBER of different MEMBERS that have replied to your Trip Report. So if I reply 2 or 3 times on your thread, you can only count me once. (I know, this pretty face is worth so much more)

Pretty simple, so here are the general guidelines.


The Trip Report has to be posted this month, but it could have taken place at any time in the past (or present)
Announce your participation in the contest by REPLYING to this thread, and post a link to your Trip Report; to give everybody a heads up, and to invite people in general to help you out by replying to it.
You can enter as many Trip Reports as you like, but we will only be counting the Trip Report with the most users replying on it. We will not combine numbers from multiple Trip Reports, choose the one in the end that had the most.
This contest closes Friday September 30th, midnight, Mountain Standard Time.
What is a Trip Report?


Have the Trip Report prefix --- http://www.bogley.com/forum/showthre...-and-Filtering (http://www.bogley.com/forum/showthread.php?39103-Thread-Prefixes-Posting-and-Filtering)
Contain at least 1 paragraph description - @4 lines.
Contain at least 5 photos and/or a video. Slideshows fulfill this requirement as well.
The full report must be posted on Bogley and not link out to another site.
An "Album" in the Dark Room that meets these requirements will also be eligible.
TIP: If you have a post on another forum or site, you can copy and paste text and images into the bogley post, without retyping and uploading photos.

Strategy to Win: Obviously the person with the most replies to their TR will win. How do you get those? Invite your friends and family to join Bogley and comment. This could be done through email contact lists, Facebook friends list, word of mouth or other. You get the most comments (only counted once) and you take home the loot. Simple.

Now on to the prize;

Awesome reports guys.




By the way, here are a few tips for getting your friends' and family's help. Remind them that registration is a piece of cake and they only need to comment with a quick line, or even just an emoticon for it to qualify.

Email the link to friends and family
Hit the facebook Like button at the top of your post, and write a comment in the box. This posts it to your wall, bringing it to your contacts' attention.
Post a link on related websites or forums.
Reply to your thread once in a while to "bump" it up top. Please don't double post too often though.
Enter as many Trip Reports to the contest as you like, but we will only count the ONE Trip Report with the most comments, we will not combine reply counts.
Good luck!

Dang. I thought I'd get more than just a very few comments.

Maybe I need a new strategy.

Anyone who doesn't post on my page is a goon.

I remember this strategy working in 6th grade, but I wonder if it still works. It might be worth a try.:naughty:

Another tactic is to put a link to your trip report in your signature, asking for replies. It'll show up anywhere you post :mrgreen:

Nice job Ladd. :cool2: We'll grab your shipping address in private and get this shipped out to you. And consequentially for winning this month, you won't be able to participate in October's contest.

Thanks to everybody for participating and helping the contestants. :mrgreen:
