EvWiiwhere Challenge
By .ed. Wednesday, 11. April 2007, 15:39:03
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, visit N+ and 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. If you use a camera phone, you can use MyOpera's MMS blogging option.
- Include one of the codes below in your EvWiiwhere blog posts by pasting it in before or after the image so others can check out the challenge. (use tags like Nintendo, Wii, N+, and more to help others find them)
- After you've posted your image in your blog, visit The EvWiiwhere Challenge blog and post a comment with a link right back to your blog letting us and the world know to check out your submission.
- N+ Moderators will 'farm' the images we find from our users, and put them all in a special EvWiiwhere Album. The mass of images will be unveiled after we gather a bunch of submissions at which point everyone will be able to vote, or support, their favorites by using the built in voting system (
) and comments... the more votes, the better... so tell your friends to join N+ and vote!

| Power Ups
- If you make 5 seperate EvWiiwhere posts in your blog (prove it with a comment for each in the The EvWiiwhere Challenge blog),N+ will do a blog post 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 stuff N+ is 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, 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! All while giving a little more hope to those who haven't been able to find a system yet, showing them that Wii is everywhere.
This is what an EvWiiwhere post should look like!
| The Fine Print
Look how fine this is! some Challenge Art created by Khadgar, go look at his kicky new blog design. Larger versions of the examples are stored here. Man I really hope there's no typo's in this post... Have some fun... and try to keep up with me because I'll be posting images, too! Challenge submissions should be posted within the month of April, to coincide with the Opera Browser for Wii Final Version release. Don't destroy anyone's stuff, or your own. Don't talk to strangers. This is not being run by Opera or Nintendo; you are responsible for your own actions. Smoking can kill you.
