Contest 2!!!!

Since the first contest was so successful at bringing together whale hailers, voters, and views, it's time for another WHALE of a Contest!!!

Earlier this month there was a poll up asking what type of whale you would like to be. The winner was the blue whale. No wonder, the blue whale is the largest animal alive yet only feeds on tiny krill and plankton! Since the majority of whale hailers on this site preferred Blue Whale, I firgured we should make the blue whale on the banner at the top of the site our hail whales mascot. Now the only question is what should its name be:

So I invite you to enter the NAME THAT WHALE CONTEST!

___???____ the Blue Whale
Just post your mascot name in a comment here (be sure to include your real name so that I know which entry is whose) or post it in our facebook group if you can't comment here. In a few weeks, we will have another poll to vote on the names and the winner will recieve their whale name in the banner at the top of this site underneath our mascot and another special prize.

Aren't blue whales so magestic?

LET THE VOTING BEGIN!

our contest (<--click for link) has officially closed and it is now time to begin voting for which whale emoticon should win. Here are a few basic guidelines for voting:

• voting ends very early in the morning on 8/1
• you can vote for your own entry
• you can vote from multiple computers/devices
• the poll can be found in the upper right corner of this blog
• and remember, one of the major goals of this contest is to increase viewers so feel free to recruit friends, family, even that whale fanatic living down the street to vote for your own entry or your favorite entry.
• the entry with the most votes when the poll closes will receive a special prize and their symbol in the title of our facebook group (as well as probably in many of the hailwhales posts). 
• in the result of a tie, a new three day long poll will be created for viewers to vote between the tied emoticons.

MAY THE BEST ENTRY WIN! :)

A CONTEST!!!!

As I am approaching 200 views (197 as of now), I figured I should do something with all these viewers, so in order to make things a little more interesting, I am initiating a contest! Everyone please comment on this post with your own unique idea for how to make an "Emoticon" whale out of computer symbols. 


It can be simple or complex, any species of whale, and using any symbols on the standard computer keyboard, feel free to get creative! 


If you can't comment on this post for some reason, just give me your idea through facebook and I'll post it here. 


Eventually, I will make a poll out of everyone's ideas and the person who wins the most votes will get a special prize! Remember to include your "name" with the post.


Good Luck,
