To celebrate the new redesign of our main site (http://www.futurelooks.com/) and forums (http://www.futurelooks.com/forums), we?re having one of our biggest giveaways yet! We?ve called up some of our friends in the industry to see if they would step up and donate some prizes to giveaway to our readers and they didn?t disappoint!
http://www.futurelooks.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/crazy_weeks_rules.jpg
Each week, one sponsor will provide at least two great prizes to giveaway to our readers. In order to win these prizes, you will be asked to qualify by completing an easy task related to the prize itself or something that we randomly make up. They could be as easy as signing up for our Free Newsletter to posting a few pics in our PhotoGallery (http://www.futurelooks.com/photopost).
Winners will be randomly drawn from all qualifying entries at the end of each week. Best of all, we?ll be announcing a new task and a new set of prizes every Monday for ?8 Crazy Weeks? starting on October 15th, 2007 ending with our final week of prizes on Monday, December 3rd, 2007. All entries will be taken till Sunday Midnight of each week, and the winner will be announced on Monday when a new contest will start.
