Brooke’s Story

I came across Brickfish last year as I was searching for scholarships online.  It looked like a fantastic site and a great opportunity, so I jumped right in with my first entry.  I posted a photo of myself with a short description and voted for myself.  However, my participation stopped there.  My entry never moved up, and I didn’t think much about it until the end of the contest when I checked out the campaign and noted that winners had been chosen, and that I was not one of them.  At that point, I wanted to know what it took to win, so I began to look further into the website.  I read articles, the FAQ section, and entered a new campaign with new hope.

However, as I began to learn what it meant to have a “viral” entry and began to communicate with the great people on Brickfish, I found that the site is less about the campaigns and more about a community of people working toward similar goals and finding their voice within the issues and products around us.  I have made a lot of great new friends on Brickfish, have won some awesome prizes and love being an active part of the community. It is not only about great prizes and fabulous opportunities; it is about becoming a part of something larger than you.
