Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I am not an attorney, so please bear in mind that my advice should not be substituted for professional advice. As far as I know, a contest or sweepstakes can not require the entrants to subscribe to a service, such as your email letters. I do not know the specifics of the privacy laws but if you look at any online contest, there is always an option to not receive solicitations/further contact. With that in mind, an essay contest may be the better way for you to go. Be sure you spell out all the guidelines, dates of entry, essay word length, how and when the winner will be determined. I have included a few links for you which provide tips and options for running a contest on your website.

I might spin your contest a little differently.

CONTEST CONTEST CONTEST!
Who can get the most people to sign up for our newsletter?

That sort of thing. Referrals work different than contest entries. Not only does the law loosen up quite a bit but it's also fun to make a list of people and their score. Encourage them to bring in their friends from facebook, twitter, etc.

I've done this. It works well.
