It's pretty simple really. I enter LOTS of sweepstakes contests online; many of which are gun related (or in associated categories, outdoor, knives, etc and so on). I've even won a thing or two, though nothing especially interesting or on topic here. One thing though, especially when you're dealing with firearm related contests, is that it can be a slog to first find them all and then to figure out if the contest is open to NY residents, NY legal, and all that sort of thing.
What I aim to do here is provide information on, and an orderly curated list of, contests that can be won by NY'ers; with notices of what's open and what's over with. That sort of thing. It seemed it would be simpler, far more organized, and better for forum members to start a section where I could have each one be it's own thread that could be marked and dated accordingly; rather than just have one jumbled thread full of people trying to find the contest content among general posts.
So, we'll try this out. If you folks like it then I'll keep doing it.
Please feel free to give me your thoughts here. Do you want this ? If not, why not ? Any other ideas, questions, comments ? I want to hear it.
Edit: Just want to note that nothing in HEX's Contest Corner are paid ads or sponsored posts, or anything like that, in any way. This is just me listing the stuff I'm entering myself so you can get in also if you feel like it.
Edit #2 : 9/25/2023 : Kind of irrelevant, but just for the sake of transparency it should be noted that any and all posts/threads made in this section of the forum, including those from forum staff, don't count toward total site post count.
