This post is gonna be kind of long, so be prepared. In fact, the contest lists are so long, you'd think it was some kind of long-list contest holiday! The two sponsoring sites are: The University Kid and Winning The Web, and both contests offer cash prizes! I'll be covering them in the linked order, even though the second giveaway ends sooner, because that's how I discovered them (and I can do what I want).

** So there you have the first super-long list of great prizes. The University Kid is a well Dugg site that offers helpful and informative content about the internet, blogging, making money, affiliate mistakes, etc... The site has a great clean theme with some nicely designed logos, and it isn't burdened with ads so you won't have to worry about long load times or obnoxious flashing webvertisements. Overall, it's a great place to visit, and certainly worth adding to your favorite feed reader.
With over $4000 worth of prizes up for random grabs, there's no way I could pass up 6 extra entries by posting about it. If you want to know how you can get your entries, you'll have to click on over to the contest post - you'll want to do it soon because it ends on April 5th during a live drawing.
Looking at my current debt, I'd have to say I could really use the cash prizes, but all that free advertising would really help my blogging business in the long-run. Of course, a nice new theme for my blog might be nice, seeing as mine is awfully plain as it is (I have ideas how I'd like it to look, but very little coding knowledge, and I'd hate to screw something up and not be able to fix it). Then, there are the Entrecard Credits, which I could use for advertising OR sell for some quick cash. I guess you've figured out by now that I can't choose, I want it all!
Ok, enough daydreaming, on to the second wishlist:

** And there's the second list of amazing prizes! The list may look a little short, but that's probably because every prize is really "up there" in value.
To see the fully "decked out," nicely organized list (with pictures!), visit the Craziest Internet Marketing Contest You've Ever Seen post. Don't delay, all the prizes will be distributed when the contest ends on March 31st. Even though the total prizes equal just shy of double the first contest, I'm a little more excited about the first one because there are non-internet marketing prizes involved. That being said, they are both excellent contests, which I hope you'll all enter. Remeber, the more sweeps you enter, the better your odds of winning.
Best of luck to everyone - may your websites (and bank accounts) expand exponentially!
