Preparing for our First Contest

We are preparing for our first FreshBrain contest. It will be to submit graphic designs for the different technology areas that will be a part of FreshBrain. The areas include:

• Gaming
• Eco / Green
• Video / Movies
• Graphics
• Music
• Web

The five winners will get an iPod Touch. Very cool!!

Our goal in having the contest is three fold.

1. Start to make some noise about FreshBrain. We hope that a lot of folks come to the site, learn a bit about FreshBrain, check out the contest and of course enter.
   
2. Determine which marketing approaches generate the most interest. We will be marketing on websites, social networks and communities. We will be able to determine which of these lead to visits to our website. And as a result, we will get our first glimpse into the success rate of Internet marketing.
3. Get some good graphics that we may end up using on our website:) We are of course not the demographic. We hope that students see this, get pretty excited and creative, and provide us with some awesome graphics.

So to do this - we need our first real version of freshbrain.org. Check out the current mockup. It is getting there!! This was created by our partner Image X Media.
