Contest – Christmas Music 24/7 / Christmas Music, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week Fri, 30 Nov 2018 17:21:12 +0000 en-US hourly 1 40216516 1,000,000th Listener! /2007/11/10/1000000th-listener/ Sun, 11 Nov 2007 04:47:03 +0000 /2007/11/10/1000000th-listener/ Continue reading →]]> Sometime on November 7th, 2007, the Christmas Music 24/7 Traditional station had its 1,000,000th listener. Wow! The station was launched on November 18th, 2004. And even more interesting, sometime before New Year’s Eve 2007, I think the station will hit one million listener hours. Guess the date that happens, and win a prize. Simply send an email to me at one-million-hours (at) christmasmusic247.com. Simply mention: (1) the date you think the one millionth listener hour will happen; (2) your full name; and (3) your city and state, or country if outside the US. I’ll draw randomly from the correct guesses. You’ll need to respond to the email if you’re chosen as the winner. Good luck!

I’ve just completed a redesign of the Christmas Music 24/7 web site. The image on the top header now (the packages under the tree) is one I took for Christmas 2004. I’d like something new. Go through your photos of past Christmas celebrations, preparations, church gatherings and cantatas, concerts, and family gatherings. Send a few photos to me. I’m looking for photos that:

  • Show the fun spirit of Christmas
  • Somehow tie into music if possible (instruments? a choir? carolers?)

Technical details I’m looking for:

  • Need to be at least 1024 pixels wide
  • The copyright needs to be owned by you, and you can assign that copyright to me so I can use the photo on the web site, business cards, t-shirts, bumper stickers, kitchen sink, etc…. A Creative Commons license is great, as long as the image can be used for commercial purposes.

Simply email the photo to me (photo-contest -at- christmasmusic247.com). Or post the photos to Zooomr or Flickr. Tag the photo with christmasmusic247 so I can find it. Photos should be submitted by October 28th, so I can have the new photos on the site by November 1st.

Winners will have their photos featured on the Christmas Music 24/7 web site for the 2007 Christmas season. And maybe I can send them a CD or two, we’ll see what happens as we get closer to Halloween.

The actual number of marbles in the jar was 169. I’ve emailed the winners to get their mailing address so I can mail them their CD. Thanks for playing. I’ll be posting a new contest later this week.

Less than three weeks until Christmas!

]]> 107 Contest #1: How Many Marbles? /2006/12/01/contest-1-how-many-marbles/ Fri, 01 Dec 2006 19:56:56 +0000 /2006/12/01/contest-1-how-many-marbles/ Continue reading →]]> Announcing the first ever Christmas Music 24/7 contest: Guess how many marbles are in the jar. Simply send an email with your guess to contest1 at christmasmusic247.com. The closest three guesses by 6am Eastern time on Monday, December 4th will win a copy of The House on Christmas Street by Judy Pancoast. I will email the winners to get their mailing address.

Fine print: In the event of a tie, the earliest entry received will be the winner. One guess per person. Yes, this type of contest could very easily be gamed. Don’t do that, this is just fun. I won’t do anything with your email address, no mailing list, anything like that. I’ll delete all emails received after I have mailed out the CDs to the winners.

Hint: There is between one and 1,000 marbles in the jar.
