I have one more Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch left to give away. I decided I’d let everyone vote on what the last contest should be. I’d like it to be a skill based contest so that the prize doesn’t go to somebody randomly though.
I’ve had videos based on app design, artistic skills, app design and funny videos. It has been a lot of fun having these contests. Thank you for everyone that has participated.
Please leave your suggestions in the comment section below. The final contest will be based on what ever you all vote for.
Everyone on Earth has the opportunity to enter as long as I can get the prize to you. I pay for shipping and everything else. Feel free to share this opportunity with others. [googleplusone]
app design and funny videos
Thank you 🙂 I may have another app design contest. That seems to be popular.
Smartphone photography this will be great
I’ll do it if I get enough votes. I’m not smart enough about photography though to pick the best.
I think as yo once mentioned, it should be a creative story contest. Writing a short story about anything. Recording it so you can hear it and select whatever seems really creative.
If I go that route I’d definitely want it recorded either in audio or video form. This was my original plan. Thanks for the input 🙂
I had been waiting since you first mentioned you may do the short story contest.
I certainly hope you do since I’m not that technically savvy enough for making any kind of a cool app as yet. 🙂
Whatever you decide it’s been nice of you give out the great prizes. And good luck to everyone if it is another tech type contest.
I vote for a apo design contest! 🙂
That seems to be popular. Thanks for the input
As much as most your effort is about teaching skills there is one skill which is the gateway to any job and that is how to ace an interview , is that something one can teach?
I made a video about that a while back. I hope it helps
Trivia that only your biggest fans or someone who has watched all your videos would know.
We did that in the first giveaway, but I’d do it again if that is what everyone wants
+1 here! I think that’d be fun!
health app
I’ve actually been working on a running app. Fun stuff 🙂
app design 😀
Thanks for the input 🙂
CREATIVE WRITING!!!!!!! SHORT STORY!!!!!!!!!
Which is basically how you create your site, when you think about it. I’m the, what, third or fourth vote for this and don’t mind recording it into audio if you Don’t like to read. Short stories Don’t take that long to read, but don’t mind accommodating you if that’s what you would like. That’s what it was supposed to be and I get a kick out of seeing that others were looking forward to it too. Let the fingertips hit the keyboards and let the writing begin!
I’m definitely open to that idea. If I get enough votes I will definitely do it
Cooking!
I’m very tempted to have a cooking video contest! That would be a ton of fun. Everything would have to be vegan though since I have such a strange diet.
An app design contest would be great
That seems to be the most popular idea so far. Thanks for helping
I think this time we need to do something diffrent.
let’s create competition of ideas.
everyone will give his brilliant ideas,and whose idea is best,he is the Winner.
That is an interesting idea for the contest. I’m open to it 🙂
Digital graphics (logo design, photo manipulation, digital painting, etc..)
Thank you for the ideas 🙂 Very interesting topics.
yeah it would be very cool.
And we will finally have a direct use of the Inkscape tutorial series 🙂
app design with fun
Thank you for helping me decide 🙂
App design
That seems to be the most popular request. Thank you 🙂
A contest? “Hello, Internet…” How about “Best Video Tutorial on Making Video Tutorials?”
That would be interesting. I think after I get all the ideas together I’ll hold a vote.
Another App design contest
(Heavy Sigh) Still hoping it won’t be app design as I am nowhere near past the novice stage and need a lot more time to develop skills (+ have not been able to come up with an original idea that’s worth a hoot.) Finding the available time to study is like trying to squeeze blood from the proverbial stone (have to turn off the PC, as a matter of fact, and do my physical chores. I also think those with app development experience have far too heavy an advantage over us beginners (which is why I believe they keep voting for it – why “wouldn’t” you vote for the field wherein you have the greatest advantage?) As far as there “not being enough entries,” in a writing contest, I completely disagree. The prize is something we all really want, “anyone” can write if they choose to + there’s no learning curve – just turn on your imagination. The top app boys will come up with entries, if only to win the prize. I think they would enjoy the writing, in spite of whatever issues they have with it. I also think they would surprise themselves at the great ideas they would come up with and just how fun the past time of writing really is. Who knows, maybe there’s a future Mark Twain out there and he doesn’t even know he’s got the skills until he tries. Please consider these points and, regardless, looking forward to hearing about what your decision will be. P.S. regarding your recent loss of that special person, not long ago, you have my condolences. Life just seems to lose a little luster each time we lose one of the people who really brighten our days. Take comfort, though, in knowing you’ll be together with them again when our time in the flesh is over. Life after death is not just some kooky advent of the lonely and desperate. Some say, it’s more real than our lives here. It’s been “proven” over and over, for crying out loud (shut up skeptics, the evidence is everywhere.) Check out http://www.neardeath.org ….or is it .com. Well, it’s a great site, though. Take Care, A.H.
Thank you for all the kind words. I greatly appreciate them. I’m heavily leaning towards a writing contest because I already did an app contest. I’d like for it to be really interesting though.
A few other thoughts: If it makes it more interesting for you, you could have a “theme” for the writing contest, like, “What’s The Greatest Challenge You’ve Faced In This Lifetime And How Did You Overcome It?”
Lastly, if you just hate writing (a depressing thought that anyone would feel that way and miss out on one of Life’s great blessings,) I have one more idea: A layout design contest for the “Dream Playground” for your kids. Who wouldn’t enjoy that?
Take Care,
Anthony
Maybe I’ll combine both your ideas and have a writing contest for my daughter. She’d pick the winner. Maybe a kids book contest that requires drawing and writing? I think that might be to hard, but I’d definitely enjoy that.
I love to read by the way. I just have very little time. I read an almost insane amount 🙂
I like the short story idea!
It seems like it will be that, or another Android app contest.
I would suggest an Android app development contest but just to add more thrill and competitiveness the apps should be only made through app inventor 😀 and the criteria should be apps regarding stock/inventory for enterprises. 🙂
I’ll hold a final vote next week. Thanks for the request
Since the gap is closing, I like the writing idea, and have since you first mentioned it. The children’s writing is even better, although some people may feel left out, it gets a whole hearted vote from me.
I’ll hold a final vote based on the ideas next week. Thank you
Android App Design
I’d like to see an Artistic challenge, just curious to see what the challenge would be
I had a drawing and video contest that was great fun. I’ll hold a final vote next week
Android Game development(unity),plzzz
If I do another app contest you’ll be able to use Unity
This is not for the contest, but I would like to make a request: How about Angularjs tutorials? Most of them I’ve found suck or end abruptly after the easy stuff. Nothing on services, factories, promises that make any sense. You are a great explainer. A GREAT explainer. Your talents are desperately needed.
I’m planning a bunch of tutorials of JavaScript frameworks. I’ll do my best to get them up soon.
