Basic Idea of the Contest:

This is an attention grabbing, traffic generating, share the love contest I wanted to launch for my fellow bloggers. Whether you’re a brand-spankin’ newbie OR an experienced blogger, this is a great opportunity for YOU to get your blog featured!

Contest Timeline:

August 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009: Submissions/Nominations Accepted

October 6, 2009: Winner and Finalists Announced!

Who May Enter?

New and experienced BLOGGERS ONLY
Any blog that is WordPress Powered
Even if your design is a customized free or premium WP theme, you are eligible – I’m an example of this type of blogger (of course, I’m not eligible to enter). I used StudioPress’ Lifestyle Theme as the skeleton of my blog.

Should I Submit My Blog?

If you LOVE your design, then sure!

Want some FREE publicity? Need some extra traffic? Take advantage of this opportunity!

How Will People Vote?

Once submissions are closed, all of the blog nominees will be added to FresheVenture.com and people will be able to vote for their favorite. Each person gets only 1 vote.

How Will People Know to Vote for Me?

Once you submit your nomination, you will be provided with a badge that you can add to your blog. This badge says “I’ve Been Nominated for the Best WordPress Design of 2009! Vote for Me Here…” The link will take them to the voting page on my blog.

Your submission post is another way to drive voters!

How Do I Get Votes?

Talk about the contest on your blog, tweet it and do anything else you can to get the word out there! I will be spreading the word and I’m sure our sponsors will be as well, but if you don’t tell people to vote for you, they may vote for someone else…

I would like this to be a community effort – spread the word, just don’t spam!
