Contest Starts Soon

I'm working on an outline for a series of contests that will hopefully do a good job of inspiring people to put really good content on our map.

Oistr is designed for showing off locations on a map, and the contest will rate the popularity of locations that people submit. One of the upcoming is "Summer Nightspots".

Where's the best place in your city or, in general your favorite place to have an evening beverage. Is it the beach around a bonfire with friends, or is it a quiet patio at a restaurant with a nice view? Either way every entry on the map will allow users to find that spot if they choose.

I personally don't have any idea what the best beaches for a fire are around my own city, and I'd really appreciate it if I can monitor this contest and find these great places.

Other upcoming contests will include your favorite winter activity and where it happens - is it snowboarding on a mountain or sledding in a nearby park? The pictures are going to be rated on popularity so users will be looking at how much fun it looks like it is, how many people are there and how interesting the activity is to them.

Prizes will be awarded and a year end prize will be given out for first annual "most popular submissions" contest.

I'm really excited about this and can't wait for it to start in June. Please stay tuned and spread your knowledge for a chance to win great prizes!
