Congratulations to our winners!
Second Prize, a National Air and Space Museum Series' Apollo Astronaut replica from Code 3 Collectibles, goes to David Hitt, who devoted 21 entries in his daily blog (web log) All These Worlds promoting a variety of collectSPACE features including Rick Houston's Go/No Go DVD reviews and buySPACE products. "The idea," writes Hitt, "was to demonstrate that [cS] has something for everyone who is interested in space." Hitt did such a good job of generating traffic that Google now ranks his blog second only to our own website in the search for "collectSPACE".
And our Grand Prize, winner of a 2005 membership in the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation's Astronaut Autograph Club, goes to Cliff Lentz who incorporated collectSPACE into his five minute weekly space updates on 610 WIP-AM Sports Talk Radio out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He related the segments to their football fan listeners through the tagline, "The Eagle has landed!" Tells Lentz, "the host even repeated the web address several times in trying to joke with the other hosts. 'CollectSpace.com! If [host] Al Morganti had a website it would probably be Taking Space .com!'". Lentz also hung over 100 signs promoting cS near and around Lincoln Financial Field for four football games where any of the 60,000 fans attending were likely to spot them to and from the stadium.
Congratulations Cliff and David! And thank you to all who participated! Look for our next Challenge in early January!
Over the past few years, you have shared with us your grassroots efforts to bring new readers to collectSPACE. Now we want to award your creative ideas with our first annual Challenge: Campaign! giveaway.
The grand prize is a membership in the 2005 Astronaut Autograph Club, a $600 value! More prizes below...
Here's how to win: One month from today on December 9th, we will pick five winners who have done the best job directing new people to collectSPACE through positive publicity campaigns. Except where limited below, you can use any medium available to you, including photographs, artwork, posters, radio, television, movies, and websites.
You can do something small or something big, but the goal is the same: spread the word, and provide us proof.
Remember, this is a publicity campaign, so posting a picture in the our Messages forum, for example, wouldn't qualify. You need to spread the word about this site to people who could benefit from collectSPACE but probably haven't seen it yet.
That could be people at your high school or university, people at your store, people who watch your TV show, or whomever you think you can reach. Don't worry about tracking the numbers - we'll do that - you just deliver the publicity and proof of your efforts by which we will select the winners.
Promote it, then prove it...
Submit all entries (i.e. audio files, photographs, web links, videos, etc.) to challenge@collectspace.com. Be sure to include your full name and one altnerate (to e-mail) means of contacting you.
Please download our logo for use in your videos, pictures, and artwork. Do not manipulate the logo in any way.
Great publicity earns great prizes...
Grand Prize: A full year's membership in the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation's 2005 Astronaut Autograph Club - a $600 value!

Second Prize: A National Air and Space Museum Series' Apollo Astronaut replica from Code 3 Collectibles, featuring a 24k gold plated helmet visor and a sculpted lunar base. As described by Captain Eugene Cernan (Apollo 17), "Does it look like me? It's as authentic as it gets ...next to the real thing. It brings back many memories." The winner will also receive an autographed copy of Cernan's biography, "Last Man on the Moon". For more information about the National Air and Space Museum series, see www.code3.net.
Good luck and have fun!
