Tabbloing as a talent
We’ve started running contests on Tabblo which have been mainly focused around “photos” and recently it occurred to us that this was not the way to go about it. Specifically, over the last few months we’ve been very gratified to see a whole bunch of you become very good “tabbloers” by which we mean people who understand the power of the tabblo as a format.
In order to fix this, we’re now going to start exclusively running tabblo-centric contests. Now this may not be as successful in terms of getting new people in the door (because after all who out there knows what “tabbloing” is?) but it certainly will be more fun for the regulars, and we’re pretty sure by the end of the month we’re going to have some pretty impressive content.
To that end, this month’s contest is around a theme: moving. Which meaning of moving? That is up to you. How many pictures? How many words? Again up to you. This is how it’s going work: by October 11th, we’ll have a “moving gallery” page to aggregate everyone’s work and on Halloween we’ll get a panel of judges to vote 10 winners. The top tabblo gets a week on the front page and winners 2-10 also get some amount of front page rotation. More importantly, the author of the top tabblo gets a Nikon S7c 7-megapixel camera and winners 2-10 will each get a $30 Tabblo certificate that can be applied to any of the products in our store.
So what are you waiting for? Get moving…
[ UPDATE: I guess the whole tagging thing isn't terribly clear on Tabblo as of yet as a few folks have contacted me asking where to post their contest entries. For now, just send me an invite inside of Tabblo so I know about your entry. Tomorrow we'll put something up that will make things easier and more clear with respect to posting stuff ]
