BG Free Stuff Competition VI
You get a prize, and you get a prize, and you get a prize!
What is This?
As the title states this is a competition where competitors receive free stuff. It first started when I realized that free nerd things frequently fell into my palms and I had no use for most of it. I used to pass that stuff on to friends or throw it in the trash if I couldn't find an interested party, but then I realized that rather than waste it I can give it to somebody on BG who would appreciate it. Rather than just hand it out to those I'm close with I decided to open it up to the whole site and have themfight to the death sign up for a prize draw. Over time little things in the competition changed. I'd buy prizes instead of waiting for them to come to me for free, other people would contribute prizes, the prizes would grow in value. It used to be that this competition would be monthly, but with the slow evolution of the competition it was clear that I wouldn't have enough money to pay for one of these every month, so now they simply happen when I have enough disposable income to give back to the community.
What Have You Given Away in the Past?
We've given away averything from comics and game skins to full-blown triple A titles. If you'd like to have a look at the previous competitions here's a list of them, their contributors, and the prizes they offered:
BG Free Stuff Competition I: Halo Comics - Artix
BG Free Stuff Competition II: Smite Skin - Artix
BG Free Stuff Competition III: Super Street Fighter IV - Artix
BG Free Stuff Competition IV: Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - Artix & Amelia
BG Free Stuff Competition V: Fallout 4, Terraria and Castle Crashers - Amelia
What's Being Given Away this Time?
We have three initial prizes up for grabs during this competition, though there is the possibility that more will be added as the month closes if anybody else feels like contributing. Two of these prizes are game codes that somehow found their way to me for free and since I already own both of these games in one form or another I'm sharing them with all of you instead. The third prize up for grabs is one out of my own pocket and also one of my favorite game franchises, so I'm excited to be giving it to somebody else to enjoy.
Our first prize:
The second prize up for grabs:
And our final prize:
Roy Blue has added a bunch of additional prizes:
Amelia Vietti-Thompson has added ANOTHER prize up for grabs:
Thanks to Aidan O'Mongan for offering up another big prize!
TAKEN BY FREYLEIF!
I tried to talk 'em out of it since it's his birthday but he wouldn't take no for an answer. Emily White has added the most recent and most expensive prize to the lot:
Can I Contribute a Prize?
Absolutely! Just post here or PM me and let me know that you'd like to add a prize to the pool and I'll update this post with both the prize you intend to give away (Which can be anything you think people would enjoy) and the person giving away the prize so that people know who to thank! I only ask that you keep your prize digital as there may be a few people interested in what you're giving away but understandably unwilling to give out their shipping information. Perhaps one day we can offer physical prizes, but I'm unsure whether or not that would exclude a portion of the community. Maybe in the next competition depending on the feedback I receive from this one.
I Have a Question!
Feel free to ask any questions you may have below or PM them to me, I'll put together an FAQ for future competitions.
