Last week we kicked off our Karma Kontest on the Buzz page with much fan-fare (and an extremely successful twitter early bird draw). We had thousands of entries for the early bird draw and quite a bit of stiff competition for the larger prizes offered on the site.
The winners of the prizes were:
Since both Matthew (me) and cho (Joe) are admins at the site, we couldn’t win, so the prize distributions went like this:
- 8GB Apple iPod touch: Trent Brownrigg +25 (total:+42)
- $100 gift certificate at Amazon.com: WayneW +16 (total:+39)
- $75 gift certificate at Amazon.com: photomom04 +10 (total:+48)
- $50 gift certificate at Amazon.com: Zacman +8 (total:+23)
- $25 gift certificate at Amazon.com: LA Grouch +6 (total:+10)
Congrats goes out to all the winners. As admins, we did set up a little contest with the loser having to take a swim (on video of course) in Lake Ontario next weekend. Luckily I came out on top beating Joe by just +1, so I’ll be holding the camera while Joe takes the plunge. Current water temperatures in Toronto are hovering around 50F, so hopefully it keeps cooling down this week!

Congrats to the winners. Also congrats on not being the one having to do the cold water swim. I’ve done the polar bear swim and it is freezing.
Haha, I’m waiting to see the video clip here, that might be interesting to see the reaction of the guy who will be swimming under the cold water..

BIG win by Trent Brownrigg, an iPod. I wish I could win that. Anyway, congratulations and a good luck for me for the next time. Joe, when are you getting a new contest?
Me too, 8GB Apple Ipod touch is my favorite phone and I hope I can get one in coming days. That would be great if I could win one.
Awaiting for the next contest…
Congrats to Trent Brownrigg, keep up the good work. Best of Luck for future.
Congratulations to Trent on winning the iPod. I am looking forward to seeing the icy plunge pictures, that is definitely not my kind of deal, but if somebody else is the victim, all I can say is heheheheheh…..
A big congrats to Trent on winning the Apple iPod Touch, what an awesome prize to win! And also congrats goes to the other winners too, gift certificates are pretty cool too, especially at those money values! =D
Till then,
Jean
I agree that those are great prizes. An ipod touch is one of the hottest handheld devices. Those gift certificates can be used for nearly anything, which makes them a great prize too.
Congrats to all the winners! Trent must be very happy getting 8GB Apple Ipod touch, that’s one of the phone I love.
WDW, remember to share the video that Joe swims.

Is the contest Over?

I thought I had already commented on this post but I guess not because I don’t see it anywhere. I just wanted to say that I am very happy to be the karma contest winner and also thank you for having such great contests! My iPod did arrive today so I have it sitting right here on my desk. Haven’t done anything with it yet but I will later tonight.
Congrats on winning the ipod touch Trent. It is a pretty sweet prize to win just for being helpful on the forums. Nice work.
Congrats Trent on winning the ipod touch! Ipod touch is my favorite product but I’m not going to invest on this. Hope to have another contest that gives out ipod touch, I’ll surely take part.
Congrats to the winners!! I promise you Ipod touch has to be one of the best prizes to give away. I guess it’s the truth I use mine all the time!!
Is the contest Over?
Considering this post is all about announcing the winners, it is a safe to make the assumption that the contest is over. Are there any plans to hold another similar contest soon though?
Yeah we usually have contests a few times a year!
