hmmm... just curious about the form. Why is there a field 'Location'?? are you going to do something with that? ...if so, ....what? ; )

It's more for PR-related research, so that we have a general idea of where our fans are in the world.

I haven't recorded them all formally yet, but most are from USA and Canada (wooo go Ontario go!

), but we also get quite a few applicants from places in Europe, Australia, The Netherlands

and Norway. I've even seen a few submissions from Argentina and Singapore!

....so there are submittions from the Netherlands.... intresting ; )

I don't know about brownies... but I do know that if you can make killer cheesecake, you'll have the contest in the bag.

Anyhoo. The contest. Time to dig into my bag of strange and obscure references that nobody's ever heard of and come up with some stuff.

Peace & Luv, Liz

hahah Im glad you liked the contest

I find this one actually kind of cute

Yonkey · March 30, 2004, 04:00:42 PM

Racx, you weren't the only Australian and Brrr wasn't the only Dutch.

There were probably a lot of other places as well, but I have no time to look through them all.

I agree, and it seems like a lot more people are participating too!

Jeysie · March 30, 2004, 04:07:48 PM

Well, I've got a few ideas in mind... I just was wondering if I could ask the gender of all the perspective bears, just to make sure.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Yonkey · March 30, 2004, 04:10:27 PM

As far as I can tell, Sister Bear and Mama Bear are the females, the other three are male.

Well, I sent in one set of names! Are we allowed to submit more than one set? If so, I might think up a second set, with a different approach. If not, I'll just sit back and wait.

I'm pretty sure it says we're allowed to send in as many sets as we so desire.

sivvrianBARRY · March 30, 2004, 05:50:26 PM

How are prizes going to work since names are picked individually?

J-ROC · March 30, 2004, 05:59:13 PM

I would suggest that the prizes be of somewhat equal value, and then distributed randomly.

(checks) You know, you're right. (whimper) I'm just going to be over here hiding in this corner wondering why my brain left me...

Correct, since there could possibly be multiple winners, they would each receive the same prize.

I also just updated the contest page, indicating that names will be judged individually.

Well, I just went through all the Phrase contest ppl and it turns out 67% were from USA and 13% from Canada!

Excluding Brr, there were 2 others from The Netherlands and excluding Racx there was 1 other from Australia. Oh yeah, sorry Storm but in this contest, the closest person to your area was someone from Germany.
