Contests ... Good or Bad?

Louieoke · #10 October 4th, 2002, 05:33 PM

I don't know if anyone else posted this or not. (I didn't read all of them, sorry) but....A bar I'm hosting at does this and I think it's a good way to draw in business (which is the #1 priority, right?) They have a drawing instead of a contest. Everytime you sing, your name goes in a hat. Every hour or 2 a name is pulled out of the hat and a winner is named and a cash prize is given. This way no one gets their feelings hurt, no one is intimidated, and people that wouldn't ordinarily enter a "contest" will have just as good a chance of winning as the best singer in the place. Just an incentive to show up and sing either way. Good idea? Bad idea? Your thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Louieoke
