Geeks Are Sexy are running an exciting “How To” contest and are giving away more about $1300 in prizes to six winners. This is more of a bait than a contest. What you must do is write a “How To” post. This is normal for a Group Writing contest. But, they want the post to published on their blog rather on yours. This sucks though they have about 2500 RSS subscribers. They stress that your article “must not be published on your site“.The contest runs for one month and the winner will be announced in the first week of November. Now, that means one month of “content” for their blog.

Okay, i’m not complaining about the prizes. They are very attractive. But, the entry rules really suck. Hey guys over at [GAS], if you are running a “Group Writing Contest”, check out the wonderful BlueJar “How to” Group Writing Contest and don’t Rip content from others.

There are already two active contests giving away a Nintendo Wii and this contest adds itself to the list. In an effort to promote the A-T CureTour and raise further awareness about the A-T Children’s Project, they are giving away a Nintendo Wii in an usual blog contest.

To enter, you have to link to the contest post using the anchor text “Win a Nintendo Wii” and to A-T CureTour website using the anchor “A-T CureTour“. Also you should post the following two paragraphs on your blog :

Ultra-runner Tim Borland is running 63 marathons in 63 days in order to raise funds and awareness for the A-T Children’s Project in their quest for a cure or life-improving therapies for ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). A-T is a rare, neurodegenerative disease that affects children, giving them the combined symptoms of cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and cancer. Children with A-T — born seemingly healthy — are usually dependent upon wheelchairs by the age of 10 and often do not survive their teens.

To run with Tim, join a tailgate party, or make a donation, please visit the A-T CureTour website. There, you can also view the daily video blog produced by filmmakers who are making an independent documentary on the A-T CureTour and enter a contest to Win a Nintendo Wii.

Then, send an email to ryan@atcp.org with your name, email address and the exact link to the post you have written regarding the contest. The subject of the e-mail should be Nintendo Wii Contest. The contest ends on November 4th.
