The Ev-Wii-where Challenge + Update!

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

UPDATE: The EvWiiwhere Album has been filled with the entries so far. Visit the album and use the star voting system at the bottom right corner of the images. You can submit entries here using the instructions below until the end of the global day, May 6th 2007. Then it will be all up to the votes in the remaining weeks of May.

PRIZES: What will the winners get? Since this is the internet and people can always find ways to cheat, the winners will be determined by the N+ Moderators who will take reader response, comments, and the star rating of each image into account, as well as the effort and creativity.

  • 1st Prize: A Nintendo DS lite!
  • 2nd Prize: A DS Browser!
  • 3rd, 4th, and 5th Prize: MyOpera goodies
If you have any questions after reading, please send me a message through MyOpera.

Wii has without a doubt captured the world's attention. From the predictions, to the breaking news, the surprises, features, style, size, and games, Wii has become a household name just as fast as 'Nintendo' did in the mid 80's.

Everywhere you turn, there's a commercial or store display. Every magazine cover is plastered with Wii news. Every store is trying to get you to trade in for Wii games. Every website's got a Wii news story almost daily. Wii is more than a success, it is a cultural phenomenon. Wii is everywhere. Well... almost. Let's have a little fun with the general public!


| Instruction Manual
  • Be an N+ Member. If you aren't, Join Now.
  • Take pictures of the word Wii spelled out in public. Don't just take a picure of the word; find it in unnatural places, or make it yourself out of things you found there (see my two glorious examples below).
  • Post each picture as blogs to your MyOpera blog.
  • Include one of the codes below in your EvWiiwhere posts by pasting it in before or after the image. (use tags like Nintendo, Wii, N+, and more to help others find them)
  • Come here, and post a comment with a link right back to your blog letting us and the world know to check it out.
  • N+ Moderators will 'farm' the images we find from our users, and put them all in a private gallery. The gallery will be unveiled after we gather a bunch of images at which point everyone will be able to vote, or support, their favorites by using the built in voting system (:star::star::star::star::star:) and comments... the more votes, the better... so tell your friends to join N+ and vote!

| Examples
| Power Ups
  • If you make 5 seperate EvWiiwhere posts in your blog (with 5 comment links here), we'll do a blog post on N+ highlighting your submissions, and of course, link it back to your blog for extra attention.
  • We'll look at the voting results and determine some winners, too. Expect some Nintendo and Opera themed prizes.
  • The more entries we get, the more we're going to be able to give away. So go nuts!
  • When the world downloads the Opera Browser for Wii, they may just find you highlighted in MyOpera.

The whole point is to show off how creative you can be, what you can find out there, and what you can leave for other people to discover, and for us to be able to link back to our readers' blogs in great number for once. N+ is only the sum of it's parts and we want to show off your blogs for once. Come up with the best images, and let us boost your traffic!

This is what an EvWiiwhere post should look like!

Christian (the guy I run the tanooki with) posted a little blurb about the contest also!

I hope we aren't lumped into the "jealous that they don't have superfun contests" category. P:

And yeah, all nintendo related sites should support each other...that's the entire point of the internet!

Anton 12. April 2007, 06:25

It's the date a lot of people light up in protest to try and legalise it.

Ryan 20. April 2007, 19:59

Santa Furie 21. April 2007, 02:06

One very loud sigh later, Furie walks out of the comments section and starts plotting some new EvWiiwhere posts.

Joel had a good one planned for GameStop tonight, but he completely forgot to do it. :frown: Oh well, I got SM3 reserved. p:

Santa Furie 25. April 2007, 04:10

Santa Furie 26. April 2007, 01:16

I've just voted on every picture in the album and I'm ashamed to say my first entry was the worst so I only gave it one star. Nothing else I've done since the first seven was any good either so I'll leave my entries at that. :frown:

.ed 1. May 2007, 16:27

Santa Furie 1. May 2007, 16:45

Just realised what it is. That's the curse of Opera Mini I suppose. I thought it was a burger on a griddle :lol:

Elle 2. May 2007, 20:43

I did another one. Sorry for my lax attention about rulage on the last entry. Very kind of you to accept it anyhow. I did this at work today. Pretty public but I'm going to do better!
