    I am in charge of marketing an online contest.

    The contest is free to enter and the eventual winners will get cash prizes. However, I need to get the word out to a lot of people so that more people will enter and the word of mouth will grow all without losing my shirt.

    Does anyone have any tips?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    You may try to use Facebook ads and applications.

    Submit it to many contest blogs that can get the word out. Stumble it, digg it and just get as many people to the page as you can...

    Go from forum to forum, which are popular, but also try not to spam. Also, blog it.

    promote it just like you'd promote a site.
    social bookmarking
    forums
    social networking
    paid reviews on blogs
    freebie sites
    etc.
