December contest ideas?

Hey all,

I have a dozen of The Office 2011 Calendars to give away, courtesy of Trends International and Andrew McMeel.

How should I give them away?

Some ideas:

  • Wallpaper design contest: we could have categories for desktop, iPhone, and iPad, for example. (Our last wallpaper contest was in 2008.)
  • Trivia contest: answer a “trivia question of the day” about The Office to win a calendar.

Do you have other ideas, especially ones that are easy to organize? Thanks!
