Publisher Letter

We are looking for Athletic Supporters!

Wow! It’s 2010 already. What a banner year 2009 was for Compete. We went from a bi-monthly to a monthly publication (we publish 10 regular issues and two sports travel guides), we provided media sponsorships for numerous groups and events, and we selected our 2009 Athlete of the Year.
We have many goals ahead for 2010. They include an expanded swimsuit shoot and feature (in Las Vegas this year!) and an exciting new Web site updated with new content daily. In order to continue to bring you Compete and offer new and exciting ways to bring you gay sports coverage, we need your help.

Subscribe to Compete
First and foremost; we need to grow our subscriber base. While Compete may be available free at some locations, we need the support of subscribers in order to continue offering the latest and best coverage of gay sports. We are offering a very special subscription deal available through 2/28/2010 — buy one subscription of Compete for $19.95 and receive a free Compete t-shirt, courtesy of Kenny’s Imprintables. (See their ad next to this column and give them a call for your team’s t-shirt needs.)
Here is how to claim your free Compete t-shirt:
Log onto www.competemag.com/subscribe and enter the code SHIRTS (for a small shirt), SHIRTM, SHIRTL, SHIRTXL, or SHIRTXXL, when ordering and we will send your free Compete t-shirt. (Only while supplies last.) It’s that simple. Tell a friend too!

Advertise in Compete
We want to bring you even more content in 2010 and in order to do that we need the continued support of advertising partners. Ads in Compete start at just $149! What a great way to advertise your business or service while helping to keep Compete viable in today’s competitive market.

Keep reading Compete
Our loyal readers are who drive our magazine and staff to continue to offer premium stories and features. By reading Compete (and hopefully loving it) you are validating the hard work of the entire Compete team.

We aren’t just another sports magazine. We are part of a much bigger family — the gay sports community. We invite you to personally contact us to help us make Compete a better magazine.

Sincerely,
Eric Carlyle
