Competitions (or contests) and giveaways are a great way to interact and have some fun with your current readership while at the same time gain more subscribers and additional readers. Beginner Blogger had its first Contest/Giveaway last month, which was a great success.
Today I thought I’d showcase some of the bloggers that currently have contests and giveaways that I’ve found around the blogosphere that you may like to enter. There are some great prizes going around so check them out! (Please note these aren’t affiliate links or anything like that. These bloggers aren’t even aware that I’m doing this!

I just ended a contest on the 31st for a lingerie set…but that may not have been your target audience!
Haha you never know. I wish it was still going I would have put it up. Would have been a nice gift for a special someone
Im already in the Novice Blogger contest and will look at the others.
Some nice contests there! Cheers for the link, some great prizes up there
So many contests! Might have to start one of my own.
Some nice contest with some very good prizes! I used to run a few contents but found that the epople who came for the contests didn’t stick around for the content. That is when I decided to just focus on the content and let the people come for that.
Hi there~ Please consider including mine into the list. I’m giving away a 125×125 pixels for two continual months on my blog for the winner who tops commenting on my blog posts until the Valentine’s Day (rules apply).

I’m going to have to come up with some good contest ideas and try and get one launched soon.

Thanks to everyone that has voted so far – outstanding number of votes so far!

Hey Buddy. Tons of Thanks for adding me. You made a good post of listing contests at a place. I am in a idea to hold this contest each month to give ad spots. So stay tuned
