Congratulations to Daryl, whose Bellagio post was closely voted by foXnoMad readers as the Sexiest Summer Story, earning him $250 towards his next trip. I hope that he’ll update us about his trip when he returns. Below are the final poll results.

[poll id=”13″]

I would like to thank Luis, Gorryon, Frederika, Erickson, and Daryl for their entertaining entries. Overall I think the contest was a success but there are some things I plan on doing differently for the next contest.

  • A more specific topic
  • Simplify the rules and voting procedure
  • Shortening the submission time

I’ll be posting about the next contest, which will be a photo contest on October 1, 2008 – but first I would like to hear you opinions, suggestions, and criticisms about the Sexiest Summer Story Contest. Please let me know in the comments section of this post:

  • Would you prefer shorter (50-100 word) essays, photo, and/or video contests?
  • What prizes would entice you to enter?
  • How should I determine the winner? (i.e. voting, number of comments, etc.)
