Greetings from NTBM, everyone! We’ve been waiting to unleash another killer promo, like we always do, but we didn’t want to come back with the same ol’ thing; we wanted this one to be unique. Without further ado, we present to you:

The 2012 Need2Promote contest!

Here’s a quick rundown of what to do:

It’s your task to create/alter/photoshop images for mock NeedToBuildMuscle advertisements -- think magazine ads, banner ads, email promotions, etc. You could even go the extra mile and work up a video ad or a flash animation/gif ad for NTBM. After you complete your ad, post it in this thread. These ads don't have to be focused on anything specifically; just NTBM as a whole or a NTBM product. It's not in our plans to use any of these ads, but down the road, we may decide to--we will discuss this with you beforehand, if that's the case.

The style/mood/theme of your ads can greatly vary. You can make ads that you would legitimately like to see used or that you think we would actually create/use or you can go off the wall in the other direction. Make it funny, make it dramatic—do it however you want to! The big key is to be creative and have fun with this!

You can submit as many images/ads as you wish during the first stage of the contest (that’s right…MULTIPLE STAGES!). Stage 1 of the contest will end February 29th @ 11:59 PM (EST).

At the end of Stage 1, the top 10 submissions will be selected byneedto, himself. Those selections will then be placed into a separate thread and the top 3 finalists will be chosen by you, the members of Rxmuscle (by a poll).

PRIZES!

1st place - $300 gift code to the NTBM store
