ArmedZilla | KeyPoints All-Star Challenge

One lucky vet or service member can win an iPad2 based on your votes!

To kick off the holiday season we want to challenge our members to share their stories of service through KeyPoints. We are going to do our first ever contest, the ArmedZilla KeyPoints All Star Challenge! This contest will spotlight ArmedZilla KeyPoints and our new “star” feature. Stars allow members to show their support of KeyPoints that they like. If you were touched, impressed, astounded or just found a KeyPoint funny — “star” it.

The contest will run from December 12, 2011 through February 4, 2012. We will announce the winner on Super Bowl Sunday! The KeyPoint that accumulates the most stars during the contest period will win the member a shiny new iPad2 letting the winner have more fun with ArmedZilla!

Here are some tips to creating meaningful KeyPoints that could potentially earn more stars:

Write a great KeyPoint from the heart — share your experiences honestly and in your own words
Include a picture — a picture tells a story that words cannot
Tell friends and family to visit your KeyPoints and star their favorites
Share KeyPoints with your friends and family on Facebook, Twitter and through email using the sharing toolbar we’ve built right in
A member can star as many KeyPoints as they like, but can only give one star per KeyPoint; a member can also un-star a KeyPoint if they change their mind
