From Here
http://www.gameproducer.net/2008/03/27/contest-win-fps-creator-x10-by-guessing-what-i-got-from-an-easter-egg/

From the above page
Win a copy of FPS Creator X10
It’s time for post-Easter Contest and fancy prize is FPS Creator X10 - a game making tool that uses DirectX10. All you need to do is guess what I got from an easter egg (not meaning the chocolate, but the toy I got from the egg). Thanks goes to The Game Creators for this fine prize.

Contest rules
You need to guess what toy I got from an easter egg.

You can guess as many times as you wish (maximum 5 items per reply, and you can have multiple replies: this is to ensure that somebody isn’t getting the first reply and writing lots of stuff into that reply). All you need to do is throw your guess here (or write a lengthy blog post where you list all your answers. Remember to mention your blog post URL here in this blog so I can include your guess into the contest).

The first one to answer right wins a copy of FPS Creator X10.

The contest lasts until somebody guesses right and I’ll be checking answers daily. If there’s no right guesses after couple of days, I shall give hints that will pretty much reveal the right answer for somebody to guess.

TGC will of got this from my post on this thread.

I thought they would follow my advice on that.

Guys you need to post this on competition websites.
like here

otherwise people don't know about the contest. Also don't just have the comp on a games developer page, you put them on high traffic sites, fpsc is a general audience product, not just games devs who are a small market, so hit the contests on high traffic sites that your potential customer may go to, sites like Nuts or the Sun Newspaper, or technology sites, ie high traffic sites, contests are a way to get market your product to a mass audience, so use it for that.
I think you need to read about marketing, I build it and they will come doesn't work. Marketing is a full time job in itself.

Typical TGC style.
they run a contest thats over with in minuites, they should of done a slogan contest or tiebreaker with a deadline, then the contest will last a specific time, also people have a reason to visit the site to read the funny or clever, slogans or tiebreakers that get posted.
Also one uses an entry form with options to subscribe to a news letter or mailing list, TGC really need to think about what they are doing.
