I’m happy to officially announce the One Million Giveaway Extravaganza in celebration of our upcoming millionth visitor to photojunkie.ca. Over the next couple of months, I’ll be giving away several items via the site, including books, video games, pictures and many more exciting items.

Becoming eligible is simple. You will get one ballot for leaving a comment on any post in the “million” category, such as this one. And you will recieve two ballots for linking to any post in the “million” category or linking to the million category url.

I’ll start posting prizes and details starting this week.

I’ll even throw in an extra ballot for anyone who blogs about this before the end of November.

Winners will be announce in January 2007.

1. Comments made to this post will be eligible for all prizes (unless the prizes are Toronto specific and you are from outside the GTA)

2. Blog linking to this post or the million category will receive two extra ballots for all prizes (unless the prize is Toronto specific and you are from outside the GTA)

3. An addition ballot will be given to anyone who writes about this contest during the month of November.

4. You will also be eligible for an additional one ballot for commenting on specific prize posts and/or two ballots for writing and linking to those specific posts.

5. Winner will be chosen at random from eligible ballots and will be announced in January 2007 or after the one millionth visitor has registered on the site counter (which ever is later, unless otherwise specified, ie time specific prizes).

photojunkie.ca will also be taking sponsorship of prizes from any company or individual. In return you will recieve a link along with any mention of the prize you are sponsoring.

    So as the dork who apparently is first to leave a comment, I feel I should win something. haha. Either way, I enjoy this giveaway idea, and that it’s being called an Extravaganza. That just makes it better, haha. Alright, there’s my post.

    What are we gonna win? What if someone doesn’t have a blog?

    Rachel,

    Since I see that you go to Ryerson, which means you are in Toronto. I WILL give you the first prize…. Two tickets to see the Two Photographers. Two Visions Ansel Adams | Alfred Eisenstaedt exhibit at the AGO.

    Maria,

    Prizes will be announce starting Monday. If you don’t have a blog, you can win by leaving comments. It’s all explained above.

    i have yet to actually win anything in my life, so this is worth a shot;)

    loving the redesign rannie – nicely done. (i now must scamper off to see your post on the wii and possibly scream “lucky bugger” if i am correct in presuming you now have one.)

    I’m a big fan of free stuff, and frankly, the site hitting a million hits is a huge accomplishment, worthy of a big celebration.

    So- yeah, here’s my one ballot, and I’ll blog about the Extravaganza right now, so that makes three.

    Thanks!!!
