For National Puzzle Day and other random days, I've created Kingdom of Loathing themed puzzle contests for KoL players. The prize is usually a coveted Mr. Accessory.
Note: The Griddle is not affiliated with Kingdom of Loathing.

In August 2010, Logic Masters India held the sudoku test "Sampler Platter" featuring 18 sudoku puzzles I authored. Thanks to all who participated in "Sampler Platter". I'm very pleased to hear that the puzzles were enjoyed by many. If you didn't participate, you may still get the puzzles over at the LMI website to try at your leisure.
In November 2010, Logic Masters India held my rather short, but interesting, puzzle test "FLIP". It featured a variety of puzzle types and variants with a FLIP theme. After the test, I even released a special booklet containing the full instruction booklet, puzzle booklet, answer key, unused puzzles, and additional fun facts and figures. Thanks to all who participated in "FLIP" and gave feedback afterward.
I've helped create the logos and the some PDF page design for the 2011 Indian Puzzle and Sudoku Championships, as well as some weight puzzles used for the puzzle championship.
Other tests and competitions at LMI have also used logos and designs that were created in collaborations with the LMI staff and myself.
Every so often one of my puzzles is themed after a book from Trapdoor Books. Readers can play the Trapdoor Books Puzzle Contest for a chance at free books or an Amazon Kindle, B&N Nook or Sony Reader Touch. Check out the Trapdoor Books site for more info.
In the past I've held competitions for prizes through prize puzzles. Below are some of the generous sponsors who helped with this endeavor:
