• We’ve been teasing ya, and not much more than that, only because we’ve been making some final arrangements to make sure that the contest goes off safely, securely, and that everyone has a fair chance at the prize. As most of you who stop to check the counter at the top of this page once in a while, you realize we’re getting close to quite the milestone, our ONE MILLIONTH HIT. We’re very proud of this, and you should be as well, since readers like yourself have made this possible. For a target audience as specific as the realm of Askew, we’ve racked up an amazing number in under 2 years. And this is ours (and Kevin’s) way of saying thanks for keeping the site going.

So, for that reason, our ONE MILLIONTH visitor (or closest over to claim the prize) will be spending a day in lovely RED BANK, NEW JERSEY, where he or she will have lunch with Kevin Smith (and two lowly News Askew webmasters), as well as be treated to a personal tour of the Stash and the new, improved View Askew Offices, given by Kevin himself!

We’re sure that it’ll be a day full of fun and surprises. The day/time of this will be arranged after we’ve got a winner, and can come to agree on something that fits everyone’s schedule, but will most likely be sometime after Kevin and the gang have returned from Cannes.

All you gotta do is submit a screenshot (just push your PRINT SCREEN KEY and paste the image into a graphic or word processing program), or a note claiming that you were indeed the millionth hit along with any other pertinent information (Your IP address, PC type, web browser, etc.) that you can provide as proof. We’ve got a TON of background processes running to verify who indeed hits the magic numbers, and followup questions that we ask you after you submit you claim will make sure that yours is genuine. In short, WE WILL NOT TOLERATE CHEATING. Anyone who sends a fake screenshot or claim in will be disqualified from any further contests or giveaways that take place at this site for as long as we’re around, and we MEAN that. Let’s play fair, folks. We’ll catch you if you cheat, and humiliate you publicly.

Now, the details. Unfortunately, we can’t offer airfare or transportation into town, that’s your responsibility. We also realize that, because of these stipulations, that hit number one million just might not be able to make it. There aren’t any substitutes for prizes here, so if you can’t, we’ll give ya the glory and announce you, but be kind and allow someone else to have the prize. We’ll start at a million and work our way up (1,000,001, 1,000,002, etc…) until we have a winner that’s submitted a screenshot (or similar proof). The closest over ONE MILLION (or AT one million, of course) that can make it to town gets the grand prize.

Good luck to you all, and remember, many will try to win, but THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
