What Do YOU Think About Twitter Contests?

As many of you may have noticed from my Twitter account (@MilesofAbbie), I’m trying to win a trip to Machu Picchu through Karikuy (http://www.karikuy.org).

I’ve been trying to limit my tweets as to not overwhelm, but then I look at some of my competition and they have posted many, many tweets about Peru in a row.  I’m all for healthy competition, but is there a line between wanting to win a competition and spamming your followers?

If someone that you followed regularly started focusing their tweets onto a particular subject to win a contest would you un-follow them?  What’s the Twitter etiquette for contests (if there is one at all)?

*Update: After careful consideration – I’ve decided to quit the contest – good luck to the other contestants!
