Among the offerings is the WebRing Teddy Bear. As we selected items to offer, this little fellow seemed like a no-brainer. He (or she, if you prefer) was just too cute not to include in the Rewards Room.

Yet, this black bear is missing something... a name!

We could have collaborated among ourselves to determine some snappy name. Instead, we thought it would be more fun to hold a contest.

"Name The Bear" Contest Rules

• To submit your suggestion for the bear's name, leave a comment below on this blog post. Make sure to include your WebRing ID in the Name or Alias section of the comment form. If you don't and you happen to win, we would have no way to contact you for your prize otherwise.
• You may only submit up to one name per day.
• Only WebRing members are eligible to participate.
• You have until July 15, 2008 at 12:00 PST to submit suggested names.

After the suggestion phase ends, we will narrow the suggestions down to five names. Afterward, we will post a poll where you can vote for your favorite name.

What Can You win?
As the winner of the "Name The Bear" contest, you will win one of the teddy bears AND one month of WebRing 2.0 Membership.

Regarding the Use of the Comments
We chose to use the comments section instead of a simple text field in order to encourage discussion. Part of our revised mission at WebRing is to create a greater sense of community, to bring people together. We strongly believe that discussions greatly contribute to a community. Even if you don't have any names to suggest for the WebRing Teddy Bear, you can always discuss or nominate some of the suggestions.

And, don't forget to spread the word about the contest ;)

We also welcome any clever little backstory that you might wish to provide the bear.
