I love entering contests (and, yes, I have an e-mail address just for the lovely *mail* that my frequent contesting generates). My wife and I gave my mom a cool Kitchen Aid mixer for Christmas last year...and it was a mixer that I won at a local grocery store by just filling out an entry blank.

Popular Photography & Imaging is sponsoring a contest to win $1,000 just for signing up to receive their weekly newsletter. The winner gets a $1,000 shopping spree at one of their "checkrated" retailers. Click here to sign up for the popphoto.com newsletter. Good luck! If I don't win, I hope one of you does. (BTW -- disclaimer -- I am in no way affiliated with this contest...see the contest entry link above for complete rules.)
