    Hi, I'm hoping to get some feedback from the forum on your thoughts on prize draws in exchange for app purchase and review?

    Basically this is what I'm thinking:

    - I offer a prize draw of iTunes gift card to a value of $25
    - In exchange for entry - you purchase the game for a $1 and leave a review on iTunes and let me know your itunes id and Touch Arcade id.
    - For every 15 reviews past 30 I throw in a 2nd prize of a $10 iTunes card and we continue until the closing date of the draw - no more than four weeks.

    To recap:

    - 30 entrants - chance to win $25 gift card
    - 45 entrants - two prizes; $25 and $10 gift cards
    - 60 entrants - three prizes; one $25 and two $10 gift cards

    etc

    To keep it totally transparent I will open a Facebook Group where you can post you entrant and/or review and see how many people have entered the competition.

    The game in question will be version 2.0 of Invaders World Tour.

    Thanks to all the people who replied and pm'd me.

    It seems the best way forward is to run a prize draw ($25 iTunes gift card) using the FREE version of Invaders World Tour.

    I'm just waiting for Apple to approve the 2.0 update for the FREE version and then I will kick it off.

    The rules will be simple:

    1. Download the FREE version.
    2. Leave a review on iTunes and add your name/review/iTunes id to the Facebook group I setup http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=122397014463077. If you don't have FB then a post in the forum thread will be fine.
    3. After a period of time (no more than four weeks) I will randomly draw a name from a hat and award the gift voucher.

    Cheers
    Scott
