Update: The contest is now over and the winner is announced over here. If you didn’t win, cheer up: We’ve also got a discount.
Catalyst West is coming. The Center for Church Communication (CFCC) and Church Marketing Sucks want to get you there. How? Read on.
CFCC has partnered with the good folks of Catalyst to bring you a killer experience you won’t want to miss. We’re giving away a free registration to Catalyst West, March 2-4 in Irvine, Calif.!
How to Win
It’s easy to enter and you can enter multiple times to increase your chances of winning. Here’s how you can enter:
- Post a comment on this blog entry.
- Post something about Catalyst West to Twitter, Facebook, your blog or whatever your preferred medium. Then come back here and post a comment with a link to wherever you posted something.
The Fine Print
- We’ll enter your name in our random drawing once for every medium you use. So commenting gets you one entry, tweeting gets you second entry and Facebooking gets you a third entry—three chances to win. But you only get one chance for each medium—so tweeting 10 times will still only give you one opportunity to win (no need to spam your followers).
- Comments must be posted to this entry by 12 p.m. CST on Friday, Feb. 11 to be eligible. Don’t be late.
- We reserve the right to disqualify any entry for whatever reason we choose (i.e., if we’re offended by your Twitter post mocking sweater vests, we might decide you lose.)
- Employees and board members of CFCC and their immediate families are disqualified.
Suggested Comment
If you’re not sure what to comment, tell us who you’re most looking forward to seeing at Catalyst West (you can find the full speaker line-up here).
Sample Tweet/Post
If you’re not sure what to tweet, you can try this:

That’s it. Do it by Friday at noon CST and you’re entered and ready to win!
More Incentive
We’ll pick a winner randomly using Random.org. We’ll announce the winner on Friday as well as some other news, so be sure to check back then.
If you need any more incentives other than the awesome line-up and beautiful West Coast weather, take a quick moment to watch this:

- Dave Ramsey

Our church needs a jump start! Well, first a solid definition of who we are/were/want to be, and THEN a jump start. Would love the opportunity to learn some new tools to help us on the road.
Thanks!

Thank you for your generosity. A ticket to this conference, for someone who couldn’t otherwise attend, could change someone’s life – and certainly the ministry of their church. It would be a lifechanger for me. Blessings to y’all.
