New contest for our members

Filed in contest, site, April 7, 2008, 9:25 pm
Partnership with companies brings great gifts to our members and here’s the proof.I’m proud to announce the first contest since the redesign of Canadart. During the redesign we thought of new activities for our members and new ways to promote our hobby.

One of them is to participate in expos. Obviously if we attend to those shows we will need some promotional stuff. This is where all of you will help us and we will thank you for that by offering a whopping 100$ gift certificate at Understory Enterprises.

Now you might be wondering what you have to do to win this great prize

Here it goes.We want you to write a promotional text about PDF. It’s an “informative promotional concept that can easily be given to people at a minimal cost”. Format of a flyer, postcard or 8X11 sheet.

The concept have to respect the following:
- Explain briefly what a PDF is
- Explain how to care for them
- Explain why they are so great.
- Explain the preservation aspect of the hobby
- At least a page long

Obviously, look and design of the promotional text is taken into account

Texts can be sent to springcontest |at| canadart |dot| org

Good luck to everyone

Only active members can participate. All texts submitted could be used on our promotional items. Credit to our winning member will be added on the main promotional flyers. All texts have to be legally written. If text is taken from sources, it has to be footnoted. If text is taken without permission or footnotes, members will be banned from all ongoing contest and be marked as guest.

Welcome to Canadart

As you can see, everything has changed, everything is new or improved .We have built a solid site to provide you with the best dart frog related information there is. This site will features articles wrote by members of the community, contest and useful links to other sites. There is a new search and archive function that let you find a specific article.

The bboard has been dramatically changed without losing the primary functions. It’s now more secure, almost spam-proof and faster. Somes rules have been applied to some sections of the bboard to keep it clean.

There is still some work to do but we are pretty happy about the new site. We hope you’ll like it as much.

If there is anything that need some tweaking, dont hesitate to inform us.

Bart has written a great article about the culture of fruit flies.
