We Have Our
Winners!
From February 20 to March 3, 2010, Odyssey
fans were given a chance to participate in the first-ever ScoopYourself contest to win a free copy of
Take It from the Top.
We accepted entries for over a week, and few participated in the contest.
However, the last day--and even during the final moments of the
contest--increased the level of participation we had previously received. We
doubled in our number of contestants on the last day of the contest! All 30
entries were judged on March 4th with the winners announced on Friday, March 5th - the day
before the brand-new season of Adventures in Odyssey!
What
is
ScoopYourself?
In each
ScoopYourself challenge, visitors have the opportunity to incorporate
themselves into a unique contest entry and be the most creative to win
exciting prizes!
The
Challenge
We
wanted to see fans' Adventures in Odyssey collections. We wanted to
find out who would come up with the most creative display of their Odyssey
albums, books, videos, DVDs, action figures, T-shirts, and more!
Judging
Entries
For this particular challenge, the quantity of items in fans'
collections had no effect on the chances of winning. We were interested in
the quality of entries submitted, regardless of how many Odyssey items
contestants had. We were looking for the use of props, camera angles, and
lighting to create the most creative display. We weren't looking for just
simple displays of Odyssey items on a background. We were looking for
entries that stood out as a cut above the rest, entries that went that extra
mile. The ultimate ScoopYourself contestants.
Of course, a contest
like this is very subjective, and our opinion may differ from yours. But
that's okay. We enjoyed looking at every photo we received and are confident
that you will too.
Winners
It was
extremely difficult to judge the entries, mainly because it was so much fun
seeing the creativity expressed. Because of this, we decided to introduce a
second prize. The grand prize winner will will receive a copy of
Take It from the Top. The runner-up will
receive a free copy of The Best Small Town.
This
contest was just too fun to hand out only one prize.
If we could, we'd give you all a prize
for the effort you put into this contest. Thanks to everyone who entered!
And now, you're just one click away from seeing who won!
