You don't have to be a guitar player to win at InfamousGuitar.com.

"Greatest Fan in the History of the World" competition begins in May

So you like guitar.  You like our site.  The question is, how much?  We're looking for 11 amazing fans this next year...ten to become our Fan of the Month, and win $100 cash.  Then those ten fans will become eligible to compete next April for the Grand Prize of $5,000 cash, and the prestigious title of The Greatest Fan in the History of the World.  This contest is open to anyone who isn't competing in the Player's contest, and to take home the $5K, all you have to do is help us find guitar players to join our site.

Here's how it works:

1.  Go find a guitar player.

This should be easy for you - you're a guitar fan, so you probably know several.  But if you don't, they are all over the web...MySpace.com, ultimate-guitar.com, guitarsite.com, guitar.com...there are over 500,000 guitarists on the web who are registered at one guitar site or another.

2.  Get them to come hang out with us.

Invite your guitar-playing friends to come join our site for free and make a profile.  Depending upon how involved they eventually become with InfamousGuitar.com, you will earn between 1 and 50 points for referring them here.  Just make sure they remember your username, and mention it when they sign up so you can get credit.

3.  Rinse and repeat.

The more players you refer to InfamousGuitar.com, the more points you earn...and each month, the fan who accumulates the most points earns $100 cash and a chance to win the $5,000 competition next year.  You can enter every month if you like, and can win up to 3 times in a year.  If a single fan wins multiple months, that just means that the fan contest will have fewer competitors next April.

Point System

The points for referring guitar-playing members will be awarded as follows:

1 point for referring a guitar player who fully completes their profile
5 points for referring a guitar player who uploads a song
10 points for referring a guitar player who becomes a competitor and uploads a solo
25 points for referring a guitar player who becomes Monthly Premium Member
50 points for referring a guitar player who becomes and Annual Premium member

That's all there is to it...now go find us some guitar players!

The fan who earns the most points wins.  We will post the official legal rules in the next few days, and they will be subject to change, so keep checking them periodically.  But for now, that's all you need to know - and don't worry, you don't have to do anything to register for this competition.  If you are not a competitor in the Solo Contest, you are already eligible to compete.  To repeat: all member types are eligible - Groupies, Fans, and Players - as long as you don't compete in the Guitar Solo Contest.

So, if you're not a registered member of InfamousGuitar.com, register now, and go earn your $5,000!

One final note...as mentioned in the forums, in order to qualify for the $100 in any given month, the winner must have referred at least 10 new Players.
