# Another day, another contest. Wanna help?

By Roy Osherove March 28, 2004 In [Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic)

**Historical article** · Originally published March 28, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

I'm thinking of doing another contest, something in the likes of the Desktop Screenshot contest that was held here last year(and sadly, all the shots were taken down). Do you know people who know people who can give free swag as prizes? Would you be willing to give free hosting space for hosting the picture gallery/other things the contest might entail?

Cool stuff that would be welcome:

Tech Books(maybe [Amazon](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/3/28/www.amazon.com) vouchers?),software licenses, MSFT company store money(Scoble?), cool posters that you can't get for free and whatever else cool stuff you can think of.

Contact me either through my [Contact](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/contact.aspx) link, or as a comment for this post.

Thanks!
