Need the green light for a contest
    #15212945 -

I have an idea for a contest on the marketplace where I ask members to post a link to the shroomery on a news site; mainly articles relating to mycology and have them say something like "This site is great for information on mushrooms"  and then take a screen capture of the comment posted. Once they post their picture, they'll be entered into the contest to receive a free handblown glass mushroom pendent with necklace.  I've only got about 5, and I'm still very new to glassblowing.  But they do resemble mushrooms =)  I was just going to make sure if the contest parameters are ok as I don't want to encourage spam; especially to or from the shroomery. 

The idea really came into mind with all of the recent news articles on the hurricane rains producing mushrooms.  Most of the articles say things like 'Rain may create toxic mushrooms' and I thought it would be a good idea if people could find a way to identify their finds while figuring out what the shroomery is all about.

EDIT: Really looking for a mod/admin's approval.  I'm doing for the members though

Please don't.
I don't think shroomery.org needs to be plastered all over news sites. Just my opinion.
And spamming sucks.

Ah, it never occured to me that the shroomery and news sites would not mix at all.  Very well, I will be posting this contest by free submission then.

I know, I'll ask people to create a chart of common poisonous mushrooms and then simply link it to another hosting site.  Spreading the love, spreading the love.  I'm sorry for coming up with such an unthought-out idea.  I appreciate the heads up.
