    Target websites that welcome such activity and advertise there.

    Thats an interesting idea. Contests help get members engaged.

    I have a site about glitching, but it's for console games, so it's not exactly related.

    Cash money is something everybody love. Or you can find a donor giving some prizes. Shipping is an issue in that case.

    Posts are the best thing in my opinion for contests.

    The first question you have to ask yourself is this one: Who is your site aimed at? Then you can think what they would like to win from a contest and use that as a prize :)

    Also, you should try marketing before you launch your contest, otherwise there wont be any members to enter. There are tons of ways to get traffic: article marketing, putting videos with links to your site on YouTube and other video sharing sites, paid forum posters (to give your forum a starting boost, after all, no one joins an empty forum), and buying links.
