Our viewers — that is, you kind folks, are probably the most helpful, enthusiastic bunch I’ve ever had the pleasure to be with in terms of an online community. Between the quick responses I see in discussions here, to the way I find dozens of emails in my inbox just seconds after a new Sonic Unleashed announcement hits the net (how the heck do you guys do that…), it’s clear that we’ve got something really special going here.
Which is why it’s a total bummer when I have no real updates to share with everyone for several weeks. Yes, Camp Sonic saw quite the positive response when we launched our Facts Unleashed page for Sonic Unleashed, but even that was dry when it comes to new information.
So… what happens when we don’t have new information to share with the Sonic Community? How About a Giveaway?
Here’s the deal folks — I don’t have too much to give away RIGHT now (we’ll hold back the bigger contests until we get closer to the Sonic Unleashed release date), but I do have some odds and ends to share with the Camp Sonic fans!
The Rules
There are some rules for this contest, but don’t fret, they’re simple. There are a few ways you can win things:
- Participate in discussions! Be helpful, insightful, and kind. We’ll pick a random winner from people who simply post comments here at Camp Sonic, but will not count comments which are rude, spam (duh), or otherwise do not better our community here.
- Have a Website? Link to Camp Sonic with one of our easy to copy+paste codes, Spread word about us, and you might be one of our randomly selected winners. You’ll need to contact us to let us know you’re linking to Camp Sonic!
- Are you an Artist? Why not send us some original Sonic Unleashed fan art of yours? If you send us something really nifty, we’ll feature it RIGHT HERE on the site, and maybe send you some goodies as well! You’ll need to upload your work to some place like Flickr, Photobucket, or deviantART (And give us permission to use it here on Camp Sonic if we decide to feature it).
The Prizes
We’re still figuring out all of the prizes (what that means is we want to make sure all of the goodies are good quality before sending you something… well, not so good), but you could be winning any one of the following things:
- A set of Black, White, and Blue Camp Sonic Mini-Pins (shown in the header of this post). These are really awesome for pin collections. I’ve already got 9 of these things on my laptop case! Definitely a way to express your love for Camp Sonic!
- Camp Sonic Shirts
- Camp Sonic Mousepads
- More? Like we said, prizes are note entirely confirmed yet!
We’ll pick at least 5 lucky winners before July 10th (Giving you sometime to get excited for E3)! Winners will be emailed, and will need to respond in a timely fashion with their shipping details in order to claim prizes.
Have fun!
we all also consider you as a...
[...] It’s June 23rd, and that means it’s time to celebrate Sonic’s 17th Birthday! To celebrate here at Camp Sonic, we’re going to offer all our viewers to take home something from our Giveaway! [...]
I’m one of the best artist in my school, this shound be no sweat!
mabey on of the prizes could be a copie of sonic unleashed whren it’s releashed
count me in!
I would gladly create some fan art and post it here.
CAn people from Germany join too???????
Hello everybody, this question would be directed towards the admin. Is it alright if i enter a drawn picture of Dark Sonic? Because i read the information, drew a picture, and re-read the information and saw ” . . . Sonic Unleashed fan art . . . ” And from the information i have gathered . . . Dark Sonic, unfortunately, isnt in Sonic Unleashed. Is it alright if i sent in a picture of Dark Sonic?
to admin:
are you gonna give anything else out besides t-shirts and pins ( thats not a bad thing, it actually make you feel official). besides those prizes why not add sonic action figures to the table?And to all th people who may talk down on me: (it’s just a suggestion).
@Jason: We might actually have a baseball cap available to selected winners
As for prizes, this is just a fun little thing I wanted to try out while we spend our time waiting for Sonic Unleashed. We’ll probably give out copies of the game, or some other nifty prizes as we draw near to November… nothing confirmed though!
What is it with people and hats! I mean if it’s just for the fact that it’s supposed to make you look cool and like you don’t care about the rules, well wouldn’t it be cooler to not wear caps seeing as it’s giving you permanent protection from the sun?
@iNAUDiBLE: Oh, I live in Australia and all we have is the games. If someone who lives in Austalia could prove me wrong I’d be most satisfied.
i just started coming here and i think this contest is pretty cool. ive always been a sonic collecter and i might submit some artwork. i just got one bit of advice (dont take this the wrong way) put up a prize other than camp sonic i mean there cool and all cause you can walk up to some guy and say hi i just got back from camp sonic, but this is our favorite blue guy. one more thing, just a request, please put up a sonic or camp sonic hat for a prize like abaseball cap not a beanie

DAVID IS GIVING OUT AUTOGRAPHS!
ME WANT!!!!!!!*fan schream*
HE IS REPLYING TO ME!!
oh…the honor… IT IS TO MUCH FOR ME!!!!!
*faints*
…
Just joking.
an autograph might seem silly,but in fact it might give all the stuff some personal charm I think
@admin: Ha, that’s no problem, I was being sarcastic about you being a mindless machine.
Your choice, you don’t have to sign one of mine if you don’t want to, if I actually get it. XD
Ah, that’s alright, not much you can do. XD Admittedly, downloading the FLV file of the trailer from Youtube would be faster, BUT the server that it’s on can stop and even restart the download, making it very unreliable. Admittedly, the lowest quality vid on IGN is 20.1 MB, but it’s on a more reliable server and it’ll probably be better looking than the Youtube version. It’s nice to have options. XD
@iNAUDiBLE: haha… are you guys serious about that? I feel sort of weird signing something
I was being sarcastic about the whole ‘famous’ thing.
Wish I could help you with your 56k modem troubles, but you’re stuck with that. Some folks have uploaded it to youtube (probably a lot faster than IGN’s version).
@admin: Ha, I figured it out. Trying to download it right at this point. Take it from me, downloading a gameplay video on a 56k modem might be slow, but streaming a gameplay video on a 56k modem is nearly impossible.
Yeah, sign me up for havin’ a pin signed too, please, in the off chance I get one. Not entirely because you’re internet famous, persay, just so that I know you are not a mindless machine.
…and if Hannah doesn’t win, I’d be willin’ to front the cost to send the signed pin to her.
@Hannah the Echidna: Um… Sign it?
*ahem*
Well, since I’m so famous, of course I’ll sign it if you win
@iNAUDiBLE: It’s the logo shown in the new gameplay footage I posted yesterday (if you haven’t seen it yet).
You had stuff MADE? Sweet~ That button would be great along side my Super Smash Brother button I got from an issue of ONM. (Fam went down to England. Got me Sonic and Tails plushies as well. Did you know they were makin’ Eggman plushies as well? Weird.)
Great collection of prizes, I’ll try and be active and mayhaps do some fanart? Nothing fancy, but fancy enough. GREAT idea, btw.
admin- also, that logo you made for the link to the fact sheet above the Update Subscription box is as good as official…unless it IS official? O____O
Wow, more artists then I thought! I’ll be working on a little drawing myself.
Admin, if I get a pin, can you autogragh it for me?
OMG!!! I wanna win this!!! and also feature my art =3 sweet!!! Ill start working on this, and great idea admin! keep it up!
Ooooh! :O
Heh, I do have some fanwork, but my scanners bust, I’ll probably have to photograph it…
I have returned my friends! Is Knuckles in this game? I hope he can turn Super. He couldn’t even turn Hyper in Sonic Riders. I think Rouge can do something along those lines in Sonic Adventure 2.

Thank you very much, I am highly gratitude.
