H!P NEWBIE PROMO CONTEST
Begins: As soon as you've made your pick
Ends: In October
What? How?Get to know the newbies of H!P better in a friendly promotional contest! The player (that is you) chooses a H!P newbie to support for the period of the next six months. During this period you keep up with news concerning the member you've picked and post updates to the forum, this way taking part in the contest and letting others know new things about the member you chose.
It's recommended that your chosen member is somehow featured either on your avatar or signature. If you need help with that, just ask.
What kind of updates can I post?Naturally, the more creative you are, the better for everyone!
- If there is some specific video featuring the member, you may consider linking it or posting screencaps and pointing out something in particular that your pick does in the video.
- You can post blog updates featuring the member in relevant threads.
- If she has a PB coming up, try to keep the news thread updated with preview images.
- If she appears in a group video, you can post a comment that highlights her in the video especially.
- Small picture posts are allowed in the member threads, but don't make it a spammy habit.
- Use 2ch. There are stories, images, random things that don't normally get posted on English speaking sites. Of course, you'd need to know a little Japanese for this.
- If you find a Japanese fan blog dedicated to your pick, you may also find something worth posting there.
- We have a lot of random threads like the H!P Meme thread - if you ever find inspiration to do something goofy and creative, go for it!
- There are fan translations that not everyone has the time to check or read in entirety - you can pick out some interesting bits and post those in appropriate threads.
Of course, whenever you take something from another site,
give credit It's worth a note that this contest takes place throughout the H!P section, so think outside the box and don't limit your promotional activities to your chosen member's thread. :3
Have fun with your promotions!
It's a marathon, so don't worry about not being able to post all the time.
Whom can I choose??Anyone from:
Morning Musume 9th generation
Morning Musume 10th generation
S/mileage 2nd generation
+ Special pick: Karin Miyamoto from H!P Trainees (because she's working somewhat regularly)
One player can choose only one girl to promote, so choose wisely!
The same girl cannot be picked by more than one player!
Keep in mind also that there isn't an equal amount of material available of each member.
Help! I'm late/new here! Can I still join??As long as it's not like, September 25th 2012, yes, you may still join.
Just reply to this thread.
How is the winner decided?? What does the winner get?Since it's a community effort, there will most likely be a poll where we vote each other.
The prize has not been decided yet, but most likely something related to H!P.
