Now this is QUITE an ambitious competition and would break new boundaries for blogging competitions as far as I am aware....Prija wants to raise money to get his sister a car, get a car to give out as a prize, fund a movie and create a buzz about the movie at BlogWorld Expo. He is aiming high but appears to have done his sums... he will be looking for 500 sponsors to pay $100 each, thus raising the required $50,000. What you will get in return is publicity via the movie, via a sticker on the car (with your URL) and links from the blog which to be fair, is guaranteed to be well-visited, such is the scale of the project. From what I read on the blog, the spare car is intended to be given away as part of a separate blogging contest (can't wait to see what that will entail). A PR professional has been hired to take care of creating more buzz around this project, and I'm sure many of us will be watching to see how all this turns out...

What an interesting idea for a competition. I wonder whether they actually think that they will get enough money for the car.The money they are getting from the sponsors could earn quite a bit of interest in a bank account during the course of the next year while they are waiting for more advertisers. If the advertising slots are not filled and they repay the money they still get all of that interest. If they do get the money then they will get that interest and the car!! Wow!! sounds like such a good idea for a competition.
I wonder... it's good to have big ideas, let's see where it goes...
