I have an idea! I am going to try to build and improve upon last month's contest. Who liked it last month? Who missed it last month? Who thinks @Want2learn could have made a much better final selection? March will hopefully be a little bit better contest for everyone. Time to see who can make the best hand registration during the month of March. You have to create it during the month of March. The domain for March will have to be registered in March, AND if it had been registered before it must have been unregistered for at least 6 months prior to March 2019! Let me be clear, for my March contest the name has to be a new hand reg.
Name.com stepped up and sponsored the contest with a nice prize. @name.com Thank you again. I would love to invite anyone that would like to sponsor this contest to let me know. Lastly, out of gratitude for their sponsorship, I would like to add for the month of March for THIS contest that you register the name at Name.com. They haven't asked me to do this for them. No one from NamePros has asked me to do this. I think it is a best practice. When we want nice prizes for contests we have to be willing to support businesses when they come through focus . . . all the more when they didn't ask for anything in return!

Here are the rules of this HAND REG contest for March 2019:
1. Hand registration during the month of March 2019.
2. You may submit up to 3 domain names. One submission must be dot com. That means two entries are free to use whatever extensions you choose.
3. Each name must have its OWN reply, so if you want to submit 3 names, submit three replies.
4. The contest judging criteria are changing! The community will select the top 10 domains through voting; a panel of 3 will select the winner through collaboration. I am accepting applications for judges. I would like to select 2 other judges to collaborate with me on the final 10 and then ultimately pick the winner. I am thinking Skype is how we will work together virtually on the final ten to WON!!!
5. You must use a Name.com account to register names for this contest.

What do you win?
Number one, props and clout here at Namepros.
I will personally pay up to $10 to add an extra year on the domain, so if you choose an expensive extension and it wins, you are only getting $10 from me!!


I believe community voting/voice/say/input and additional extensions were the big requests to make this contest better. The number of LIKES will be the initial voting. In honor of March Madness, the final sweet 16 domains based on the number of likes will be added to a poll on March 31. I will put the sweet 16 in the poll and the voting will determine the elite 8 finalists. The two judges and I will collaborate on the winner. The names must be registered in March as already stated. The judging may take up to a week to announce because I want the community to have at least 100 hours to trim from16 to 8! Then time to go from 8 to WON!

Thanks for the contest idea @Want2learn :happy: Not sure if we can enter in both contests. Please clarify so I can edit this post and put in my entries.

@Want2learn -


I am a little confused.

Back on Post # 15 of this thread you said "sounds good" to my taking over the reigns.

With that blessing, I created a (new) thread so I could have Editorial control of the March contest and spent SIGNIFICANT HOURS getting the March Hand Reg contest back on it's feet after the earlier implosion and lack of activity on this thread.

You've done noting with this thread for the past 8 days and NOW are inviting confusion.

I am confused and a bit taken back, so would like to know where this is going? [please advise]

Thank you,

-Cougar

At this point I think @BrandCougar's contest has become the official contest for March, people have been submitting there and he's been investing a lot of efforts into it. Next month is a new month so I think it's best if everybody will concentrate on @BrandCougar's contest this month in order not to create confusion. Kudos to you @Want2learn for starting the ball rolling last month.

I agree with the above, Next month is a new month.

This is about fun, yes, but its also serious business for some.

Both @Want2learn last month & @BrandCougar this month, put a lot of effort into this, I hope we can keep it professional.

Lots of folks lobby against handregs, & turning it into a circus in here would give them more reason to do so.

Stick to one contest please.

Thanks

I didn’t care whether you or anyone started a contest. None of us work for NamePros! I think anyone could start a contest if they wanted to.

You have invested a lot of time into your contest. It looks really awesome. In fact I registered a name and shared in your thread. It has been very impressive.

I’m not sure what implosion you speak of. Or do you mean how things were a bit chaotic in early March? The winner hasn’t claimed his prizes yet. Odd.

You of all people should know people do not read. How many times have you had to say one entry per reply? lol. I do not think it should be confusing for people to enter
Multiple competitions. I do recognize that just because people should not be confused does not in fact stop them from becoming confused.
This might sound weird, but I think I am a little taken aback by your being taken aback by my postings. Respect is an interesting word. Re and Spect. Spect from spectacles which is why I love my SmartSpects dot com. Neither here nor there. And Re means again. In other words respect is treating someone like you will see them again.
I’ll close this thread after you quote this post with the word respect. So I know you read this!! Best regards.

BrandCougar, your thread is great and I appreciate the work you've put in on it. With that said, I have no idea why you're offended by this thread. As W2L alluded, there's nothing wrong with multiple competitions. There could be many of these going on at the same time, that would be a good thing not a bad. There's room at the table for everyone.

I hope you keep the thread open W2L.
