Ideas for a contest?

[Michelle Brooks Photography]

(Posted theis in General Photography but thought it might get more response here)

I want to have a contest on my business FaceBook page, to give away a free photo session (with a limit, of course, on the length/value), either a free graduating senior, newborn, bridal, engagement or family shoot. Please let me hear your ideas! I was trying to think of something that would direct more people to my FB page, like, whoever gets the most fans to join within the next month wins--but I can't think of a way to keep up with or determine who is referring whom as a fan...

Michelle, I've seen this done where you have the person take a screenshot before they submit their page suggestion. You can see how many people they are suggesting your page to.

Yeah, that's what Karl Johnston did, it's a good idea! May go with that one.

I found a local charity event, and donated a shoot to it as a raffle prize - it raised them some money, got my name in front of a ton of local people in the genre I'm currently shooting in, and the resulting session was a lot of fun, with fewer expectations than my normal shoots.

Got some good ideas here, but this is what I finally went with-- look on my FB page for the event details http://www.facebook.com/chellyroo

People can't see your personal page unless you are friends with them.

Whoever can show that they had the most volunteer hours last year, wins!

Dang! Foiled again! I will have to go change my security settings until the contest is over, I guess, will that work?

I don't think there's a security setting to allow your profile to be "wide open". Sometimes if you are in a certain network you can see the entire profile, but otherwise its just very basic information (if any).
