What's more rewarding than getting what you want and helping out others at the same time, right? We know it's good or else Swapsity wouldn't exist. We also know that barters can go beyond the ordinary this-for-that trade and we want to know about them. Between the months of February and May, Swapsity will be holding a contest for the best trades!

This is your chance to tell us about your most perfect, serendipitous, beneficial, hilarious or valuable swap that took place over Swapsity and possibly be showered with amazing prizes. Did your prize-winning swap significantly decrease your carbon footprint or make your daily life a bit greener? Maybe you're an artist who traded some of your works for a space to hold an exhibition or maybe like Canadian Kyle MacDonald, you started off by trading a paper clip and eventually worked your way up to bartering for a house. All you have to do is write it down, re-enact it on video, blog about it or send photos. Whatever gets your story across in the simplest way. Make us laugh, cry, raise an eyebrow or ponder the idiosyncrasies of life.

The contest closes on May 3rd, so if you've made any trades on Swapsity make sure to get your story in! Entries will be considered for bartering creatively on Swapsity and uniqueness of the actual entry. Three winners will be chosen in May to receive some very fine prizes worth C$100 apiece.

Have a look at the prizes up for grabs here.

Complete contest rules and submission details can be found here.

And finally, please send your swap stories to contest@swapsity.ca

We're looking forward to your entries!
