Win your visual addiction contest
alibrace Dec 11/08, 16:11
Every customer who downloads a large photo or bigger, 10-credit-vector or bigger or 40-credit-video or bigger between 6 p.m. MST … more Every customer who downloads a large photo or bigger, 10-credit-vector or bigger or 40-credit-video or bigger between 6 p.m. MST Dec. 11 and midnight MST Dec. 31, 2008 will have their name automatically entered into a draw:
- to win 1,000 Pay-as-you-go credits or a 30 credits/day 3-month Subscription plan.

The more you download files, the more chances you have to win, because your name will be entered once for each download of the above mentioned file sizes. The winner will be announced in the new year.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Notice they "advertised" the contest 2 hours before it started. I wonder how many entries they got.

What do you mean "how many entries they got"? The entries are generated by purchasing files.

I would rather them not announce contests like this too far in advance. It may affect the stream of downloads if people are holding off on purchases for the contest to start.

I'm just curious as to how many people are eligible for the drawing.

I would think that if they announced it the day or week before then those who planned on purchasing those size images later in the year or next month, might go ahead and purchase them during the contest rather than wait. My guess is that most buyers didn't even know about the contest because it was announced and over all in a matter of 7 hours, starting after standard business hours.

I'm not sure what you mean. It doesn't end until December 31st.

Which one of us is confused??

In addition to the blog post, there was a pop-up notice today as well. I hope lots of people buy into the hype. I know I have.

Twice already I have made a buying decision based on whether it qualified for the contest.

Me. I'm the one that is confused. I saw 11 and read it as 11 pm. No more posting for me until I get more sleep. LOL

Sorry guys. Let's try this again.

Did anyone see that IS is having a new contest?

Yes! Yes, I did!! In fact, I already have two entries!

What confused me was that I saw the terms for the contest in the forums but couldn't find any useful information in the posting. When English is your second (or fourth) language reading through tons of legal paragraphs can be really painful and make you crying ... I was not aware that you have to check the start page and the popup for further information - I rarely see the start page since I usually enter istock via a bookmark to my last downloads page.
