New Open sponsor: Welcome Lexus

Rate: 7 Flag

Our latest sponsor on Open Salon is Lexus -- with an innovative, added incentive. 

Lexus will be asking Sponsored Open Calls -- which will appear as usual, in the righthand column on the Open cover. Every week for the next few weeks we'll pick one exceptional response to the question to win $200.  To enter, just click "Respond" on the Sponsored Open Call box, and then read the Terms and Conditions of the contest before clicking the box to publish your post. That's important -- if you haven't agreed to the Terms, your post won't be eligible. 

Thanks -- and good luck! The sponsorship should be going live later today. As always, we look forward to reading what you've got to say.

Perfect! This is one sponsor I would love to drive!

Great going!
So, I just posted a response, "those who sustain us" and I've noticed it's not listed as a response when you click on "responses." (Wow. Three responses in one sentence. Anyway. Will Lexus be reading them first before they decide if something fits the criteria for "responses?" Or will the Salon editors be doing that?
Just curious.
thanks
Good question, FLW.

We'll be reading, and the Editor's Picks will show up on the Lexus page.
I like this. Making a connection, offering an incentive, sharing a little green.

Plus, my custom Lexus RX 300 was the first brand new car I ever bought (well, AOL bought it for me, but still) in the year 2000. Along with my previous vintage 65 Mustang, it made me understand why guys feel about cars the way so many do.
what, they're not offering a free car?
I'm with Lonnie. Screw sharing the green. A family of 4 could live in an LS 400.
So Lexus will only view posts as those filtered by the editors? Bakana!
Kerry - I participated in this Lexus business, being the good citizen I am and everything. HOWEVER, the logo for the Lexus contest covers up the Editor's Pick graphic. I'm all for good writing being rewarded monetarily, but can we remedy this?

(thumbified for biting the hand that potentially feeds me)
Thanks, Kerry! That just shows how much I value your opinion, right?

jodi -- your wish is my command!
Yoga Fix - You have to put "lexus contest" in your tags, then agree to the terms and conditions disclaimer, then your post will show the logo and be included in the list.
I put "lexus contest" in my tags, then agreed to the terms and conditions disclaimer, and my post has not shown up and is not included in the list. Badda Bing
