10 million visitors big prizes competition!

featured

Competition is now closed!

I will sift through the many thousands of entries and select all the ones that have passed, then work out a way I can randomly select the winners and once I have done that I will do a live draw. It will be asap. I promise!

Thanks to everyone who entered. As you can see the competition ended a lot quicker than planned, about 2 weeks quicker due to the 10 million mark being reached a lot fast than expected due to you lot searching my site for answers!

In about 3 weeks I will reach the 10 million visitors to my website. Rather than try and award that 10 millionth visitor with prizes as it will just crash my server I have decided to create a quiz based around my blog. If you get most of them right you will be entered into a random draw where the people drawn will be awarded a prize each.

These are the prizes currently on offer. I pulled in all my favours to get these prizes for you guys…if you win them use them well and share with me your results!! Am jealous as I want some of them!

B&H Photo Video have very generously donated a Canon Rebel T2i to the competition. Big thanks to them and to B&H’s Jonathon Yudin for this!

This is an AMAZING PRIZE!!! A KESSLER CRANE CINESLIDER worth $1000 (winner pays costs of shipping)

  1. Took a while, but got 100%! Wish I had watched the video explaining how to find the answers before I took the test. Would have saved me hours…Anyways thanks for the comp, now appreciate how much work you put into this site – there is a lot of posted I didn’t know existed.

  2. The camera owning question was the hardest by far. The ones from the kit site are different ones and I had to guess if you actually own that one or if you were just reviewing it. Still made 80%! Can’t wait for the conclusion!

  3. Congrats Phil! Awesome site, and again, thank you for all your contributions to the DSLR community…

    Hope my 84% cert gets to you… Sorry for not being higher – missed an easy one, lol.
    🙂

    Best.

  4. Canon should really be sponsoring one too. 🙂 Common Philip get some 300 prizes.. one for everyone.. 😀 At least that guarantees I get one. lol. 🙂

  6. I see you added a question number 20. Since I “only” got 80% in the 19 question quiz I was wondering if it will affect my score. Should I retake the quiz?

  17. Hello Phil ! I WON THE CANON !

    I cannot believe! The quiz was not easy at all, but the prizes were so nice that I could not resist to spend hours to jump between your site and vimeo, to reach the target of 80%!
    My first score was 50%.. But I continued to try and try.

    I wish to thank you and B&H’s Jonathon for my new “toy” RebelT2! I do not have a DSLR yet!! My Sony SR11 will retire soon.

    Thanks again Phil and congratulations for these “first” 10.000.000 !

    Ciao!

      1. Glad to see happy winners. I had great fun entering even though I didn’t win. Tremendous prizes, thanks for all your effort.

        It would be fun to say all the winners had 1 month to submit something shot using their prizes 🙂 It obviously wouldn’t be enforceable but a good prompt to do something.
