HeavyAsHell.com announces its full (out of beta) launch launch on March 1, 2010. The site will fill a gap in the social news community for fans of rock, metal, punk and other guitar-based genres. On the site users are essentially site editors. Users can submit news, reviews, videos and photo links that they find on the web. They can comment on content, and can vote on posts which in turn will position the story higher on the site. These various activities accumulate 'sins' (points). There will be benefits to being an active sinner.
Starting March 1, HeavyAsHell will be giving away more than $10,000 in prizes to the top registered users. Each week, the top user will win $1000 while the second place user gets $500 and the third place $250. Additional prizes will be provided by Nuclear Blast America, Prosthetic Records, Rock Ridge Records, the band Mongrel and others. Users will be ranked automatically by their submissions, comments and voting activity. Full Rules and Conditions will be posted on the site at www.heavyashell.com/contest.
HeavyAsHell aggregates the best stories about 'heavy' music from around the web. It sprung from the negative experiences founder Mark Carras had with other news aggregates that buried stories about harder genres, literally shutting out fans, journalists and bands from the benefits of social news. While the site will provide a haven for certain types of music (Metal & Hard Rock), says Mark, 'Heavy is in the ear of the beholder. Johnny Cash covering NIN’s 'Hurt' is heavy.'
First place wins $1,000! Second place wins $500 Third place wins $250 The winner will be determined by the automated chart linked on the contest page. Winners will be chosen and announced at the end of the contest week immediately before the next contest week is launched.
So yes, every week $1,000 (along with 2nd & 3rd prizes) will be given!
First Contest Week: March 1st through March 7th of 2010
2nd Contest Week: March 8th through March 14th of 2010
3rd Contest Week: March 15th through March 21st of 2010
