    Default 2013 Summer Time Contest. June 21- October 1 2013

    You all have been waiting for it. Here it is. Notice a few of the rules have been revamped. We do reserve the right to fine tune contest rules if there is a perceived issue or conflict in the rules.
    Please be 18 to join...

    Any Questions about this contest please post in a separate thread, that someone may start and everyone can reply or post additional questions.

    It's the lazy days of summer time and it's time for another contest. This time we will have multiple entry chances as usual, but have
    added few things that you can do for multiple entries.

    It will begin on today June 21 2013 and end on October 1, 2013 11:59 pm.

    We'll be giving away 1200.00 worth of green bucks good toward the purchase of any Everlast product such
    as an Everlast PowerTIG 200DX or a PowerMTS 200 or Power Series Plasma Cutter. We'll also give a green bucks credit of 500.00 second and a 250.00 third prize.


    Here are the rules. Please read and follow them. Some are different or changed from the past. If you don't read them, and don't follow them, please don't complain if your entries are not counted.

    1) To QUALIFY and count as your first entry: Declare your entry HERE in THIS thread FIRST. State your starting post number Then, make 100 posts on the forum. You must also read/like and comment on 5 articles on Facebook OR watch/like/comment on 4 videos on our Everlast Generators channel or any combination as long as it reaches 5 total in combination. You can count project posts or anything else that counts
    toward additional entries as posts, but they must reach 100 before the end of the contest or nothing counts. If you don't have facebook, youtube may be your easiest approach.

    sites are located here:
    https://www.facebook.com/EVERLASTWELDERS?fref=ts
    http://www.youtube.com/user/everlastgenerator?feature=mhee

    2) For additional entries you can select the following as additional entries.

    a) Post a welding project. This time we will limit it to any shop TOOL you made, including stools, tables, carts, crane etc.
    Each project posted counts as an entry. But you need to include details of the build AND PICTURES. Each project posted will count as an entry.

    b) Do a review on Weld.com of any Everlast Product you own. This counts as an entry. Each review will count as an individual entry. (Recommended as an easy single entry)

    c) Create a video review of your Everlast product or a demo video using an Everlast product on Youtube/Vimeo etc. Post a link to it here on our forum. Each video will count as 2 entries.

    d) Do a review of your Everlast Product on Amazon.com. (Recommended as an easy single entry) Each review will count as a single entry.

    3) When all posts have been satisfied, before the deadline, return HERE and summarize your entries and eligibility. Restate your starting post count and then state your ending post count.

    4) This contest will be limited to a total of 15 entries. That's right 15 possible ways to win.

    Legal Stuff:

    By entering this contest, the winning entrants agrees to keep and maintain the Everlast unit(s) purchased with the Green bucks and not to sell or otherwise divest the unit for a period of 2 years. Also, by entering, the entrant agrees to be used as a reference for up to two years and his/her promotion and their likeness and comments be used in any future promotional literature. Everlast may ask for the entrant’s honest, heartfelt comments about the “prize” unit after a period of time to be used in evaluation, product improvement and promotions. No actual cash compensation will be made to the contest winner. The winning entrant also agrees to hold Everlast harmless /blameless against any, death, injury, loss of time, or other damage or inconvenience while using an Everlast product or by entering this contest. Everlast is not responsible for paying any applicable state, federal or local taxes that may be incurred from the winnings of this promotion and the winning entrant agrees to assume any tax responsibility and shipping incurred. Odds of winning are dependent upon the actual number of qualified entries received by the deadline date and time. By entering this contest, the contestant acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions of this contest. Final determination of eligibility is conditioned upon meeting the above criteria and the decision rests with Everlast.
    Contestants must be 1) Either in the continental US or Alaska OR 2) pay shipping costs and any duty or taxes due.

    Finally we reserve the right to make determination about the content, or quality of any/all posts. Posts that are found to be off topic, insulting to others, vulgar, lewd, or in any way inappropriate, can and will be removed and not counted. We reserve the right to remove any post or thread deemed not suitable for the forum. Unfortunately this may mean some posts from legitimate sources are wiped out, and these posts will not be able to be counted either. No purchase necessary to participate, though some additional entries may require ownership of an Everlast Product or Experience with an Everlast Product to get credit for an additional entry. However, there are plenty of ways to gain full/max entry numbers without purchase.

    Now you're talkin'. Count me in with 1294 to start. Looks like a video version. I've been meaning to do something along those lines, and this is pretty good incentive.

    Not really much to improve on this year. We've already outlined a few new models. We'll go into more detail later on. But we are working on a Digital PowerArc 280 STH. We'll have the revised and improved 140E and 200E i-MIGs. And a thing or two we're not ready to discuss yet. No major changes much to the existing product, except for one which will be announced later.

    --- MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FULFILLED ---

    Project posts: (I realize that some of these might be too short to really be considered a "build post". In some cases, I didn't take a lot of photos, but I tried to do a good writeup anyway. I leave it to your judgement as to whether they are worth a point or not.)

    I propose that my "welding pedal mod box" post(s) count as a "shop tool welding project". It doesn't involve actually sticking metal together, but it's a shop tool, and it involves welding. Well, I'm just throwing it out. Your call.

    I'll summarize now too: started at 866 posts; target count was 966; this should be post 1002.

    Watched / liked / commented these 5 to qualify:

    ...so it looks like I'm in for 3. I *may* have a welding project in the next couple weeks, but it's not a shop tool per se, so I'll just post it when I get to it.

    Good luck, everyone! It's been fun, as usual!

    Count me in with a starting post count of 155. First prize green bucks would go a long way towards a shiny digital TIG welder. Good luck to all!
