that's true. i love the idea of wii-- even though the last time i played with my brother's wii, I totally pulled a muscle. but i digress. what other prizes would be an amazing incentive?

I think you should have more contests with bands that aren't so popular mtv bands. like.. alot of people don't like fall out boy, paramore, and panic at the disco. i mean.. they are okay i just think they are kind of overated. no offense to anyone. i used to be a fan, until they were on mtv and yeah. haha.

i think you should have another taking back sunday one, brand new, bright eyes, warped tour, the spill canvas any of those bands. but at the same time not alot of people know them.

i'm kinda sad about the taking back sunday one because concert tickets would have been ten times better than the cds, but i still love my prize.

:] but that's just my idea. i'm ready for a new contest, but i'm waiting for the perfect one.


anddd.. game systems would be nice for guys and whoever.

Lexi -UPDATED PRO "is backkkkk :)"
isnt warped tour and vans warped tour the same thing? and 30 seconds to mars is okay, i guess. lol. their a mtv band too! but it's cool deric. =p

i lovelove warped tour. the band lineup isn't as good as two years ago though, but i'll be going to see from first to last and the color fred, hopefully. :]
Posted 04/28/08 - 06:20pm

Entertainment systems would be nice. Maybe a laptop. A goped? Something really new that not many people have...like the itouch?

Laptop :)

Or networking...a trip to the Caribbean..
to NYC for a fashion photo shoot w/ some famous photog...or LA...

How about the opportunity to be in the permanent advertising for this site..

A big party with some of the female winners. I would definitely give my prize for flights for girls for a big pool party...

Tickets to the playboy mansion?


Are these enough ideas for prizes? Do I win for being creative?


Personally, I would love a prize being an opportunity for networking...like flying me to Miami or LA for a photoshoot or to film a commercial or for a party w/ some celebs to network...
Posted 04/28/08 - 07:08pm
Lexi -UPDATED PRO "is backkkkk :)"
i agree.

i want to see another contest with a prize like a labtop. i want to be a writer, so it'd be great for me. :]

and i want to enter one of the travel ones. after all i do live in indiana, YUCK. aha

but when i write a book you guys should read it! hmm.. maybe some writing contests or something? i sent a application into CG! today!


hmm.. two years ago?

motion city soundtrack, the academy is, hellogoodbye, cartel, emery, underoath, sense fail, silverstein, rise against..etc.

it was amazing, but i missed half of it, and i hung out with my ex boyfriend which was lame, lol.
Posted 04/28/08 - 07:15pm
valeria "duuh!"
lol yeah tahts a nice idea!
Itd be nice also if there was like a videogame contest, for the coolest gamer or idk sumthing like that =]

and im sorry about that lexi lol...
but anyway it must have been awesome to get to see those bands !!

ok seriously, i am a guy and personally i check out the site for one main reason, the loads of beautiful women, if i were to enter a contest how about having something that appeals to a large group of people, like havin a dinner with a celeb, or train with a sports player, interview your favorite author, shoping spree with a fashion designer, anyway just a thought take it or leave it.
Posted 04/28/08 - 07:32pm
Lexi -UPDATED PRO "is backkkkk :)"
that's not a bad idea either. and it wassss.

i like your ideas john.

:]

i think a modeling contest would be sweet, and the winner could be like the model in a lot of your photos you use to advertise the contests, so that way they can get a little bit of exposure, and you can pick 2 winners, a guy and a girl, and they could win a trip to work with an experience professional photographer and you could use the photos for sugarloot
=)
i know a couple of really good photographers!

max "is now officially a freshman(:"
i agree with kerry, we need more acting prizes! I can't find my camera loading cord, but when I do, I want to enter an acting contest, I just got my camera back!
Posted 04/28/08 - 08:09pm
nugz "Circus Isn't That Bad..."
alan and john- you guys have some great ideas. what kinds of fashion labels do you like?
Posted 04/28/08 - 08:56pm
Logen "Be Thankful This Week"
Hickets to the World Series....Tickets to a Nascar Sprint Cup Race. I am not a guy, but pleeeeease. This is a given.
Posted 04/28/08 - 09:03pm
Logen "Be Thankful This Week"
for your next hot car contest let the prize be for a trip to a race.
Posted 04/28/08 - 09:04pm
Logen "Be Thankful This Week"
have a best sports photo contest and let the winner get a pair of tickets to this years World Series.
Posted 04/28/08 - 09:07pm
Alex "Let's make a forum!"
I like the wii idea, and some of what John said.

>> John, what author would you want to meet?
Posted 04/28/08 - 09:14pm
john
hey nugz, sorry, you wont get any fashion ideas from me, dont believe in fashion labels, dont get me wrong i enjoy good fashion, just not to rock only one, personally if you pick one you limit yourself, why not have your own opinion and wear what you think rocks, anyway alex if i had to choose one it would be john grisham, Dr. Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins in a close second, followed by Dan Brown, and Logen, Nascar kicks A**
Posted 04/28/08 - 09:22pm
valeria "duuh!"

Hey Nugz. I have a few different ideas for prizes. Tickets to a UFC fight event would be so awesome. I personally can't afford to rent UFC pay-per-views at 50 bucks a pop! And also, all the music related contests on here are one genre. You should try expanding it to contests where you give out prizes related to hip-hop or more r&b related stuff.

How about a contest to win male clothing? I know you had the best luxe contest for girls with a 1000 dollar prize, why not do one for the males? Either have a cash prize or gift certificate prize. Nike or Lrg clothing would be cool prizes.
Posted 04/29/08 - 01:20am
Jeff - Taking a break from SL Maybe a week or two
One more idea! Maybe give away one of the newer gaming consoles like a ps3 or xbox360. A lot of dudes like video games, including me :) haha

Tom
I would like to see a contest sponsored by Tokio Hotel.
Posted 04/29/08 - 02:00am
Jeff - Taking a break from SL Maybe a week or two
I agree with Deric, the prize should be versatile - so people can choose where they shop because of different style preferences. :)

Yang said something about a Blu-Ray Player & movies as a prize. That's a fantastic idea, because the PS3 game console has the capability to play Blu-ray discs. SO, whatever contest the prize would be for, would satisfy gamers & movie fans at the same time!! How about a best video game character drawing contest? That'd be totally awesome :) :)
Posted 04/29/08 - 03:03am
ashlie "(;"
as long as its technology, itd be good. I feel like theres a lot of girls only contests, there should be more guys only.
Posted 04/29/08 - 06:06am
Brittany dailies please read my profile
Deric is REALLY trying to get an Avril Lavigne contest going on. That would be cool to see =)
Posted 04/29/08 - 10:20am
Fallon
it would be really awsome to have a contest for the dads. kinda like wut u did 4 the moms.
Posted 04/29/08 - 12:23pm
liz "best hair contest coming soon!"
ahh! i have things to say to so many of you. let me start at the top and scroll through.

v for victory - i think we will be giving away a DS in the near future!

kerry - we are always trying to give you more opportunities to act. right now we've got the do something contest where you could be in a psa! we have the southpark contest where you aren't winning fame, but c'mon we'd love to see your southpark impressions. we also have another contest coming very soon for our members in high school where you have a chance to be in a film about getting into college.

deric - we were just talking about how we should give away some gift certificates to hot topic! hopefully we will do that for a contest soon.

alan - you've got some good ideas. hopefully we can give away some of the prizes you requested in the coming months.

valeria - a videogamer contest is coming up in the near future.

and some of you mentioned some awesome contest ideas that are already coming up soon. some of them are still being worked on so we can't tell you about them just yet, but i will tell you that they may involve more travel, more bands and more opportunities to kick off your hollywood careers.

Anna
I'm a girl, but I know everyone would like to win some kind of video game system
Posted 04/29/08 - 04:04pm
Lexi -UPDATED PRO "is backkkkk :)"
lol, i guess i'm a hard critic. i personally hate hot topic and i think avril is fake, but that's my oppinion. i've always just read stuff about it.

i usually make my own shirts cus everyone from my school ALWAYS has the same ones and they don't have alot of bands i like.

>:(

but bring on new contests!
Posted 04/29/08 - 07:49pm

I like the Tokio Hotel idea, they're amazing.

But I too am not a fan of Avril.

I would love a trip to NYC. I've never been there before c:

ooh. What if we do something with the TWLOHA cause? I love that organization and we could maybe work something out with them.
Posted 04/30/08 - 06:09pm
liz "best hair contest coming soon!"
There's a contest up now where you can win a trip to NYC and be featured in the promotion of the film, In 500 Words or Less.

sugarloot.com/in500words
Posted 04/30/08 - 07:27pm
Jeff - Taking a break from SL Maybe a week or two
Hey Liz, seeing as how the Sugarloot offices are in Boston - you should have a contest giving away tickets to a Boston team game!! Either the Celtics or the Redsox!!!
Posted 04/30/08 - 10:49pm
ashlie "(;"
I agree with Lexi. Avril is about as fake as you can get. Sorry Deric :P
Posted 05/02/08 - 09:57am

when theres a hot topic contest, me & Deric are going at it haha.

lols.
Posted 05/04/08 - 10:15am
Emily wants go back in time make the most of it
just kind of skimmed this but DS's are kind of old. they'll probably be replaced soon, and most people who want one probably have it by now (im an intense gamer). but a wii or xbox 360 would be good cuz they're both pretty new.
Posted 05/06/08 - 04:31pm
ashlie "(;"
please. DS's will never get old :]
Posted 05/08/08 - 06:02pm
ashlie "(;"
wii's are fun, but too limited.
Posted 05/08/08 - 06:02pm
Deric "college plus job no sugar srry"

The best prize would be a system that a lot of people can't afford, but still want really bad. The PS3 & XBOX360 have pretty hefty price tags - so they would be an amazing prize for people to win.
