Award Ribbons

Ankari is offering up $25 gift certificates for his Iron Pen contest. This, and an idea I had for my blog, got me to thinking about incentives for getting people to join contests.

I noticed that another forum I go to some has little ribbons that are given to contest/challenge winners as a prize. These icons are displayed under the name/avatar information whenever someone makes a post.

Not a big deal and I'm not sure how hard it would be to implement, but I thought it was worth mentioning as a way to encourage contest participation. It could also be used as another hook to get people to submit to the thing that is, as far as I can tell, being kept secret until the official announcement is made presumably in a couple of weeks.

Just a thought.

In the past, some members who have run challenges used Reputation points as a reward for submitting and 'winning.' Still, I agree. I think there should be some kind of measureable acknowledgement of sucess in the Challenge/Showcase forums.
