Inspired by the article "7 Reasons Why You’ll Click on Everything I Post" by Brian Wallace and the comments generated from the Mixx post here, I thought it would be interesting to hold a contest of Mixx avatars and see what the community thinks.
The contest isn't a one avatar to rule them all, instead it will be broken down into several categories.
The categories are:
Most Memorable
Best Custom Design
Best Self Picture
Most Creative
Funniest
Most Serious
Cutest not my idea
Of course cGt2099, joefowler3, and Bdog2g can't be nominated, but we can nominate.
Post a comment with your vote in each category and on Tuesday January 15, 2008 check back to see if your name is next to one of the categories. If you can only think of one avatar, that's cool, just post the name of the avatar and the category for which you think is best.
Remember, this is all in good fun and perhaps will help others (especially new people) to choose a proper avatar from themselves.
** Update **
According to Chris McGill (THE MIXX GUY):
"Hey- schwag is coming in- we will offer winners some quality Mixx wear- details to come!"

So there's a little more incentive to play along.
