I am proud to announce my first contest on this blog ‘Champion Blogger 2009′, it is a tough test for bloggers who will have to prove they are competent in several aspects of blogging.
The contest is set to start on 7th November and I am accepting entries from NOW!
Contest Homepage can be found….here!
Let’s start off by talking prizes! At present there is a total of $374 worth of prizes up for grabs, this is broken down as follows:

- 3rd place: $25 cash via Paypal
- 4th place: $25 cash via Paypal

As you can see there are 5 winners so you have a great chance of winning something, I am hoping to add more prizes when kind people wish to donate a prize to my contest. If you wish to contribute then please contact me.
OK, so how can I win these amazing prizes I hear you scream! The contest will be points based, the winner being the person who obtains the most points before the contest closes. I wanted to make this contest challenge bloggers in several different aspects of blogging so I will be testing your abilities of:
- Promotion

@Irish:
Many Thanks for joining!
Can I advise everyone that they should use Feedburner for their feeds and enable ‘Awareness API’ in the ‘Publicise’ screen.
This will allow me to track your RSS subscriber count very easily, if you look at this page you will see what I mean:
