About the iContest
Everyone can participate and anyone can win!
The idea behind the iContest is simple and one all CapMac members will be familiar with. It's just a raffle, but not an ordinary raffle. In the iContest each new member you recruit during the contest period will earn you a raffle ticket for the grand prize drawing. That's right, you can recruit just one new member and still go home with the grand prize!
Of course if you recruit two new members, you'll get two raffle tickets or three or four...and so on. There's no limit!
It’s Easy to Participate!
Tell your friends, family, coworkers, and anyone else you can think of about the benefits of CapMac. Send them to our forums for free help, and encourage them to come to a meeting and meet Austin's friendliest Mac users. They can join online or using a paper application - but be sure to remind them to include your name as the member who referred them!
