somthing like the Sant Hat but to spice it up a little 4 difent pices of the Buzz scattered on the site each time you find one you tipe namea and email when some one finds all 4 wins or also when people finde all 4 at the end of 5 days give or take you give the time frame enter into a random generator. the person number would be in order of completing the hunt.
I'm here ... I'm just avoiding the forums at ANY cost because this dam contest has me SO WORN OUT! LOL I do however have some ideas to simplify for next time. I will PM you in a few minutes.
Keep it simple, first response from baldwinsville wins 
If you do lyrics, go for a bunch of rounds, then rng the group of winners to get the final winner.

I like the hat contest too. But unfortunately, I was winner #1, the only thing I could win again is another prize of the same thing I won. At best. So on day 1, right out the door, no more winning for me. Dont get me wrong I AM VERY HAPPY. But the contest removes players from following, better 1st prizes. I didnt find the hat for a good 3-5 minutes after the contest started... lol.
But, as a variant on the ideas presented, use a jigsaw puzzle. Have multiple pieces to find. Hide them well so its hard for people to distinguish the piece. Say you take the photo of all the Buzz colors, and hade a blue jigsaw piece over the blue buzz...
And only make so many pieces entered on a given day, time of day. Oh, and find someone who is colorblind when you want to really make sure one of the pieces is hidden. That is one area of advantage they would have.
A completely different idea, maybe if you want to expand your liquid offerings, have a contest where folks send in juice samples with recipes. Winners get a nice prize. I would use this more as a bonus, as not all folks DIY or like to DIY...
Prize ideas: Buzz, in color of choice of winner. Include the new colors you have coming. Minor prizes could be chrome caps...
Or let winner have mod of their choice. Maybe they would prefer an I-Pro over a Buzz...

Thinking on this, maybe have a contest that runs for a week and every day, hide a word that pertains to the holidays somewhere on your site. New word everyday, and at the end of the week (or however many days you chose to run the contest) have folks use the "contact us" feature on the site to list the daily words in order that they were posted.
Number each submission and then pick a random number out of the total and if that entry has the correct answers in the order that they were given, they win!
I dunno, maybe I need to think some more...........LOL

I like this idea, but to make it a little more fun, maybe insert the word randomly into text, so people actually have to read the site to find the one word out of context. Add all the words up, maybe they have to be re-arranged to make a cute holiday sentence?
I am talking to a Moorea and some others , I plan on giving out 3 $50 gift certs for the store at this time.
I'm sorry about that Pamdane, the rule was never meant to exclude anybody. I was worried that there would be a hacker out there ready to find the hat first each night and ruin everyone elses chances to fairly be the first to find the hat. Just wanted to give everyone a chance to win. As it was we had more then one person try to hack the server the first night and almost brought the site down about an hour before the contest. This first contest was a learning experience, promise the next one will not exclude winners!
I dont mind
I'm happy with what I have.
And thank you for the contest. I think too many people lose sight of the fact that YOUR donating something you dont have to, and they should be thankful for what they get. I play contests for fun. People who complain should not be playing. The odds are against winning.
P.S. Next time set something up that they can hack. When they succeed, just thank them for their e-mail to be traced, and they won something unexpected

Okay Mike I didn't know that. I'll start spending more time here and you know from experience I can liven things up. JK
Just drumming up some excitement 5CS !!!
And I need a new contest to obsess over
, that would be a fine present for me -- plus I wouldn't mind a GC to purchase my VVProV when it debuts!!!
If they are all like Lorrie they sure deserve it. That girl should start an online course for how to be an invaluable employee.
