Speak Out Surveys and earn fabulous prizes!

For every 50 posts you make on the discussion board at www.speakout.alberta.ca between September 2010 and June 2011, you could earn Speak Out SWAG and gifts from our sponsors. 

How the contest works

First, you need to register on the Speak Out website.  Then, head to the discussion board and start sharing your opinions, ideas and experiences. 

Each time you reach the 50 post milestone, the Speak Out Team will send you a prize.  Basically it means that you will be rewarded for speaking out online.  The prizes get bigger and better, so make sure you are posting often.

Only posts that meaningfully contribute to the conversations will count towards your total.  Remember, the voices we hear online are used by schools, jurisdictions and the ministry of education to make decisions that affect students in Alberta.  Posting just to get your numbers up will not earn you anything.

Upon reaching the milestones, you will be notified by e-mail with instructions how to collect your prize.

We will post the winners’ User IDs on the home page and on the Contest page at the end of each month. We will identify you only by your screen name.
