    Well the name explains it all really... I just want to know what sort of things could I give out in forum competitions, I run a webmaster Forum.

    I did run a competition about 2 weeks ago, and it ended 3 days ago, I gave 3 people free VIP membership, is that sort of the things should be giving away.

    $25 or $50 Amazon & Itunes gifts cards are always nice
    You could always give $50 through Paypal so something you buy just about anything they want on the net

    One more thing you need to have at least 250 to 500 active members before you even run contest to make them worth it

    In case you want to keep a small budget, then giving away "domain names, premium themes," is your best bet!
