Con on the Cob 2008 - Games, Art, Freaks & Fun


	Con on the Cob hosts a really great variety of contests and promotions. Some of them happen before the con, like the Get-In-Free Contest, and some happen at the con, such as the legendary Soap Box Competition and the Mighty Miniscule Metal Man and Monster Miniature Painting Contest. Some are promotional in nature, like the One of Us! refer-a--friend extravaganza and the Really Amazingly Awesome Hotel Promotion. Others are not, like the Beard Contest and the Give Tony Steel a Wedgie contest. Some have great prizes, like free hotel rooms and con registrations. Others offer you nothing but the laughter of children and the warm feeling of a job well done. Yes indeed, we have art contests, writing contests, thinking challenges, game tournaments, and just about every other sort of challenge imaginable (and unimaginable). Be sure to check back often to see what we come up with. New contests will be added all the time.		COMING SOON

     Here's an extra special promotion you'd be an idiot not to participate in. Seriously, you'd have to be an utter moron to pass this one up. I mean, gosh, you don't even have to actually do anything and it makes you money by the boatload. Your friends will do all the work. That's right: you get paid and you don't have to do anything but help us spread the word about Con on the Cob.
     Here's how it works: tell your friends about Con on the Cob, let them know what an awesome time you had last year (if you were there), and convince them to pre-register for the con this year. Tell them to register for the con then fill out the following survey and put your name in the Who Referred You? box. It's that simple. You get FIVE DOLLARS for every friend you refer. Refer 10 friends and get 50 bucks. Refer 100 friends and get 500 bucks. That's how easy it is.
     What's that you say? You say you haven't been to Con on the Cob in the past but you want to participate anyway... Sure, no problem. It doesn't matter. As long as you are registered for CotC 2008 it's all good.
     Everyone who pre-registers for CotC 2008 and fills out the survey, whether or not they've been to CotC before, will be entered in a drawing to win a free registration to Con on the Cob 2009! See, I told you it was easy. The survey is for our own use and will not be sold or given to anybody else. I promise.

To Summarize:
Who Can Enter: Anybody who has registered for CotC 2008
Deadline: September 30, 2008
How To Enter: Register for CotC. Refer your friends. Fill out the survey.
Prize: MONEY!!! $5 per referral or free entry to CotC 2009

Remember, in order for the person who referred you to get their five bucks, you must actually pre-register for the con. Filling out the survey is not same thing as registering.
