Coolest thing you have won in a contest
« on: Feb 18, 2007, 04:22 PM »
I haven't won anything in a radio contest or a lottery (besides a free ticket). I thought it might be cool to see what our members have won.
 This was brought to mind while re-watching "Closer to the Heart" and the guitar tech for a day contest.

I won from XFM (now gone country) in Ottawa a couple tickets to a movie premiere and another time I won a Dep Gel prize pack.  I was and still am bald so that was a useless prize.  Had a nice backpack though.

I used to work at a radio station during high school so a bunch of my friends won Greco pizzas all the time.

Two years ago, I won the football (NFL) board at work.  A total of $250.  I won the whole board.  I hit on everything.  That's not a contest, is it?  It's more gambling.  Crap.  Well, once I won a spider ring at a Halloween Carnival.  That was the year I dressed up as Annie.

I won a colouring contest in Grade 2 at school and got my picture in the paper, a trophy and to meet the fire chief.  Pretty fancy.
I also designed the mascot for our winter carnival in Grade 9.  Think I won a copy of my design on a button and 10$.  Those were both from the buckets of talent I have.

When I was in grade 6 I was one of six students who had their names drawn to take a cruise around Sydney (Nova Scotia) harbour on the Bluenose II.  For those of you have never heard of it, it is a replica of the famous racing schooner built in Nova Scotia.  It is on the Canadian dime.

i forgot the dictionary's i got for being the most honorary student in 6th grade (age11-12),it was more of a popular contest since the students got to vote.Me and my first gf ended up with the same amount of votes and each got half of them in a cheesy as crap ceremony before class, in which my teacher was ranting to the fellow classmates about how i didn't deserve it and asking if they would still vote for me now? :p

Good times, i still have a pretty friggin sweet van Daeles english dutch dictionary somewhere in a box.

I also won a friggin sweet tshirt of Rick Lets go 2 smokes right here at the org!

In 1984, I won a Ghostbuster's t shirt and soundtrack. Album, of course. That was the best, actually, the only thing I'd ever won until recently. I'm now the proud and happy winner of a TPB fleece pullover. (If it truly exists.)  ;)

The second one was an .ORG trivia and I won the Julian "Think Ricky Think" T-Shirt from Bigben.
