Just a quick thought I had.

In order to gain publicity for the guild, and for the contests to gain a wider scale of contestants.

I suggest that all contests we run here be advertised in the contests section of the main Gaia forums.

Not only is that going to help the guild grow, but it'll also help you contest runners by bringing you people from further afield.

What does everyone else think?

I think that's a great idea. Should we copy/paste the entire contest page into the CB subforum? Sort of like having two outlets for the contest?

I think that's what you were saying, but I just want to clarify it.

That'd be a great idea.

Since there is an entry fee for the guild, I think that some of the contests advertised should be free, so the entry fee for the guild is the only thing they have to pay. *shrugs*

Or are we just advertising our contests in the thread?

That's what I was thinking, advertising...
Although 2 outlets for it would work I guess, but it could make it confusing for contest owners and people who enter.

Sounds good to me. Does it need to be run by Annetia first though?

I would think so, I'm just gonna sit around and wait until she notices this topic here and brings us her thoughts.

I'd PM her, but I'm lazy, and she already thinks I'm stalking her... cool

How about posting the contest details in the Writing Competitions forum, but saying that to enter you need to come to the Guild? I've lowered the entry fee to just 40 gold. That would give us publicity, and attract attention, and get more members.

Thumbs up from me, you should officialise it and make it a rule of hosting contest smile

I'd be willing to make banners/ads for personal contests if you like. I'll put something up in the Banner thread, so check there if you're interested.

I may take you up on that, depending on how well my contest goes...I'll think more on it after it's finished...
