Win $1,000 and a free registration to Real Estate Connect San Francisco 2009
By Jeff Bernheisel, Thursday, March 12, 2009.The Virginia Association of Realtors has launched the second annual "VARbuzz National Real Estate Blog Brawl," a single-
elimination winner-take-all competition to identify the best Realtor-written blog.
VARbuzz, a blog written by VAR members, volunteer leaders, staff and guest authors, is accepting nominations for the Blog Brawl through Monday, March 16 at 8:59 a.m. EDT.
Prizes include:
· First place: A free pass to Real Estate Connect SF '09 and a $1000 travel allowance
· Second place: A free pass to Real Estate Connect SF '09
· Third and fourth places: Flip HD camcorder
Here’s how the Blog Brawl works:
You can nominate your own blog or someone else’s, but the blog you nominate must be written by a Realtor. VARbuzz will take the top 31 nominees and seed the Blog Brawl bracket in the same manner that the NCAA seeds its "March Madness" tournament bracket.
Why only 31 nominees? It’s called home-court advantage: As the winner of last fall’s Virginia Real Estate Blog Brawl, Heather Elias’s LoCoMusings blog earned the overall number one seed.
Once the field has been determined, throughout the rest of March and into early April VARbuzz will hold five rounds of voting. Your votes determine who moves onto the next round, who goes home weeping, and ultimately the winner.
So get cracking, and see if you have what it takes to earn a free registration to Real Estate Connect SF '09.

If you’re not a real estate agent with a blog, you probably have no idea who these other people are I’m competing against. But you can click thru to their blogs if you want to see what some other cool folks are doing in the industry, trying to stay at the top of the technology curve. It’s quite a collection of people devoted to providing an exceptional resource for their local markets. Well everybody is worth competitor! Good luck and think of some plan B for the competition.

I love this idea for a contest. Now I need to find the posts on here that show how it ended up and to see if it has been or will be repeated.
I have several close friends and business partners that are heavily involved in real estate, one has a blog at REBV.com that is worth checking out. I am more into virtual real estate myself, if you're bored stop by my site that talks about How to make your site a success and let me know what you think :-)
