Drew at BenSpark.com (recent winner of some Shipyard swag) is holding a contest right now. He’s got a great big box full of stuff that he’s going to give to one lucky reader. The catch is, he’s trying to keep the contents secret. When it comes to awesome, though, you can’t keep much from us. We’ve got an inside tip on what’s in the box. (more…)

This contest has by far been the most successful. And by successful I mean we had 8 entries! Ok that’s only a couple more than our first contest, but it’s an improvement. And now, the winners: (more…)

We’re learning the hard way (that’s what she said) how to host a contest. With a failed attempt at a photo contest under our belt, we decided we really wanted someone to get these DVDs. Since it’s the Holiday season, we’re feeling extra generous. That’s why, for this particular contest, all you have to do is leave a comment with a valid email address and you’ll be entered to win TWO (2) DVDs. Interested? Read on for the full details. (more…)

I’m sure at least two of you were wondering what happened with the Halloween costume contest we were running. Well the short and sweet of it is that we got one entry from Jason at GorillaSushi. That guy is always good for helping us out. Unfortunately, one entry leaves little in the way of a “contest” so I figured we’d just let it slide and come up with a better one. I realize it’s difficult to take a picture and email it…wait no it’s not. But still, the next contest will be much easier. I’ve got to unload these DVDs!

In all seriousness, thanks for checking out the site and hopefully you’ll keep coming back.

Something in my head made me set the deadline for our costume contest on October 30th. Don’t most people get dressed up ON Halloween? So yeah, tonight, take pictures of your horrible costumes and send them to contests@average-dudes.com! Photos must be received by November 2nd at 11:59PM. DO IT!!!!

And check out the contest post for more info.

Don’t forget to enter our Halloween photo contest. The point isn’t necessarily to have a GOOD costume. Just look at the fatass Spider-Man I found at Steven Humour. This guy could easily win based solely on the fact that he looks like he ate Spider-Man. Send your photos to contests@average-dudes.com. Check the contest post for the rules and prizes and such.

Don’t forget to snap some pictures of your awesome (or terrible) Halloween costumes. Once you do, send them to contests@average-dudes.com and you could win some free stuff. Check out the official rules here.

Hopefully you’ve already gone over our Dumbass’s Guide to Crappy Halloween Costumes and gotten an idea of what you’re going to be for Halloween. Here’s the deal: we want to see what you’ve come up with. We want pictures of your costumes, your girlfriend’s costumes (or just your girlfriend)…whatever. We’ll look through the submissions and choose a few lucky dudes (or dudettes) to win. The best of the best (or worst of the worst) will get a History Channel DVD (it’s cooler than it sounds…details below) while runners up will get some sweet Shipyard Brewery swag.

Full details can be found after the break. (more…)

Today marks the end of our Shipyard swag giveaway contest. We’d like to thank everyone that took the time to enter…all of the submissions were absolutely awesome!

And now, the winners! (more…)

We’re in the homestretch on this Shipyard swag contest. The entries are strong on quality, short on quantity. Let’s see some attempts here. Perhaps this video from Europe will get you in the competitive spirit.
