ideablob's May Winner Event
Norwell native to receive $20,000 from ideablob.com at Hanover Day
Norwell native Alex Eaves, May's winner in the national ideablob contest for the best small business idea, will receive his $20,000 prize at Hanover Day on Saturday, June 21 at 11:45am.
Ideablob.com is an active community where small business owners and entrepreneurs are sharing business ideas and receiving feedback, advice and support from the community.
Eaves' winning idea is to focus solely on his company's line of ReUse products. His company, STAY VOCAL, includes clothing and accessories made from used materials, as well as being a source of information about music, news and current events.
Advanta, one of the nation's largest credit card issuers (through Advanta Bank Corp.) in the small business market, awards a $10,000 monthly prize to the best eligible idea, as determined by the votes of the ideablob community. Because Eaves is an Advanta Business Cards customer, he is eligible to receive 1,000,000 rewards points on his Advanta BusinessCard (or the $10,000 cash alternative) in addition to the $10,000 monthly contest prize.

Blob Etiquette
If this is the first time you've joined a blob (we're guessing it is), we'd like to acquaint you with some of the principles that keep our blobosphere friendly, and the ideas flowing. Here's a simple way to remember - be a P-R-U-N-E.
Play fair
Cheaters never win, it's what you learned in grade school. Same applies here. You can only win by getting real votes - buying votes, spamming people for votes, raffling off prizes to get people to vote for you, and voting through fake user accounts, among other things, will disqualify you. We do track the votes.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T others
Take it from Aretha, and be respectful and constructive when giving advice and making comments. Insulting fellow blobbers will only make the blob angry. And nobody wants that.
Use common sense
Creativity, cutting-edge thinking and imagination make ideablob interesting. Obscene, discriminatory or abusive content make it not-so-nice. And the blob is also about originality, so please don't rip off other people's content or trademarks for your entries.
No soliciting
Remember, we're here to celebrate ideas. As you can see, this isn't the Home Shopping Network, so please don't bombard blobbers with your offers.
Engage
Everyone needs a little encouragement. Write comments, give advice and give off some positive karma. This good energy will come back to you in the form of ideas.
For a comprehensive look at all the rules and requirements of the blob, please check out the Website Terms & Conditions, the Submitter and Voter Terms & Conditions, and the Official Contest Rules on ideablob.com.
