Big ups to Zac Johnson! He won the very first Supatweeta Referral Challenge and a trip to the Dominican Republic. The challenge was so successful that we are doing it again this month.
Are you a Supatweeta or blogger? Can you motivate your audience to join a movement? If so you may just win a brand new Canon OES Digital Rebel 15.1 Megapixel Camera Kit. This thing is awesome. It is the latest version of the camera I used to take many of my photos in Punta Cana.
The Challenge
- Use your referral link inside Sponsored Tweets to sign up new Tweeters to the system. You can use the standard tweet, display ads or get creative and make something new.
- The challenge starts today and ends November 1st.
- The person with the most valid new referrals during the contest period will win.
- Your referral Twitter accounts must be over 120 days old by contest end (you can’t just setup a bunch of Twitter accounts and refer yourself).
- Referrals prior to today do not count. Everybody starts fresh!
- Valid to U.S. Residents 18 years of age and older only. Void where prohibited by law.
- Do not use Twitter bot spamming (or any spamming for that matter) to drive registrations. Doing so will make you ineligible, you will be reported to Twitter and your SponsoredTweets account will be suspended.
You can get the full official rules here.
The Awesome Prize
The EOS Rebel T1i is packed with features, both refined and new. In addition to its admirable performance with an all-new 15.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 Image Processor, a 3.0-inch Clear View LCD with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coating, and compatibility with the EOS System of lenses and Speedlites, the EOS Rebel T1i adds remarkable Full HD video capture at resolutions up to 1920 x 1080.
Includes 18-55mm lens, eyecup, wide strap, USB/AV cables, battery, charger, and CD-ROM.
What are you waiting for? Login and get your referral code!

I'm automatically disqualified again.
When do you think can run a contest for international affiliates?
Aminul Islam Sajib said on 10.28.09 at 1:10 pm
I wish I could participate. But I'm not in the United States.
esquimo_2ooo said on 10.28.09 at 1:14 pm
so do I ... can't go in that one too
Darren Singleton said on 10.28.09 at 1:25 pm
Are there any plans for worldwide contests? Many people, like myself are not eligible . . .
JeeperMTJ said on 10.28.09 at 1:31 pm
Too, bad. But disqualified because of location.

Nice contest. I could definite use a new SLR too!
Mark Griffin said on 10.28.09 at 1:45 pm
Ted, here's a FREE marketing tip:
Don't run competitions that piss-off a sizeable chunk of your customer base.
Dave said on 10.28.09 at 1:46 pm
I've referred about 200 people already. But now I'm also excluded. Wonder why it's US residents only..? That doesn't make much sense...
tedmurphy said on 10.28.09 at 1:47 pm
We are trying to figure out how we can do an international challenge. It is a bit more difficult from the legal perspective.
Usidus said on 10.28.09 at 1:49 pm
Too bad I'm not an US resident :(
zuls said on 10.28.09 at 1:52 pm
Yes.. make it happen! I really hope I can join this contest too..
Shelley_rae said on 10.28.09 at 3:14 pm
Says your referral Twitter account must be 120 days old. Does that mean I had to sign up with SponsoredTweets over 120 days ago or just my Twitter (associated with) SponsoredTweets has to be over 120 days old? In other words My Twitter account is a year old, but just signed up last week with SponsoredTweets. Do I qualify?
tedmurphy said on 10.28.09 at 3:18 pm
@Shelley_rae
The people you sign up under your account have to have twitter accounts at least 120 days old.
Keith Cash said on 10.28.09 at 3:50 pm
Nice prize.
Will Zac be able to take part in this challenge also?
Farrukh said on 10.28.09 at 4:42 pm

CuriousQuant said on 10.28.09 at 7:53 pm
Is there ANY WAY to find out who is in the lead - top numbers right now? I'd sincerely appreciate this.

Thanks, it is very nice to get this prize
Tinh said on 10.28.09 at 10:18 pm
Oh, God, it is for US only blogger. I thought it is open to all
Stacie Haight Connerty said on 10.28.09 at 10:36 pm
Great contest. My DSLR was broken at IZEAFest when someone knocked it off of the table. :(
Papa_Keisa said on 10.29.09 at 12:03 am
Really Good Contest But I'm From Indonesian.. haha
Daniel said on 10.29.09 at 12:48 am
Damn... I can't enter.
I'm under 18 AND I'm not a US resident. Sucks :_(
If I was competing I would have a pretty good chance too cause I have over 50,000 followers.
Oh, well, I guess you guys don't want heaps and heaps of referrals...
But if you change the rules plz let me know & I'll happily compete!!
Espreson said on 10.29.09 at 1:23 am
There is a spelling mistake -> "Canon OES Digital Rebel 15.1 Megapixel Camera Kit"
OES should be EOS
Wil Ford said on 10.29.09 at 1:25 am
Congratulations, Zac! You rock, bro. Enjoy yourself in Punta Cana. You deserve to have fun in the Dominican Republic.
Although I didn't win in Supatweeta Challenge I, I am one of the top 20 referrers (@wilsdomain). As brother Zac savors the moment of winning the "Caribbean prize," I will be firing up my Sponsored Tweets referral campaign again. :D
Sadly, I won't be going to the Dominican Republic; however, I am hopeful that I will claim the top prize in Supatweeta Challenge II: the Canon OES Digital Rebel 15.1 Megapixel Camera Kit!
Brother Ted, you rock, too! I am honored to be a part of the IZEA network of bloggers and tweeters. I have experienced nothing but fun and exciting since my joining IZEA.
To the many great people around the world, I remain very hopeful that one day you all may participate with us. You all are the greatest.
Take care, everyone!
Peace

Miss Blondie said on 10.29.09 at 11:53 am
I've been wanting to get a DSLR for quite sometime now!
Sweet said on 10.29.09 at 12:52 pm
WTF :(
I am disqualified just because I don't live in US?
I have an address there where you can send the prize if this is the only problem :((
Ross said on 10.29.09 at 2:20 pm
You guys definitely need to look at a way to run this internationally - If you need a Canadian to run it for Americas Hat - Lemme know and maybe I can be your guy!
Arena Creative Stock Imagery said on 10.29.09 at 3:12 pm
Very cool - thanks
Aminul Islam sajib said on 10.30.09 at 5:22 am
If US is your target audience, then why do you offer Sponsored Tweets worldwide?
Run your business in US only.
Melody said on 10.30.09 at 5:22 pm
Why do you offer sponsored tweets everywhere and then tell us we can't participate in any of the challenges because we don't live in US. I see contests open to US and Canaians all the time. What is the LEGAL??? hangup????? It is not good marketing.
aulia adz said on 11.6.09 at 12:16 pm
Ghee...what a waste, I'm outside the domain of contest!Wish cud participate.We're one of a kind & a family in this world of bloggers.
