[[File:Croc-Sweepstakes.jpg|thumb|200px]]The [[:Category:Croc Games|Croc games]] were subject to various '''contests''' to help promote the games.
==Argonaut Contest==
Back in late 1997, [[Argonaut Games PLC|Argonaut]] sponsored a mail in contest, held by Ziff-Davis Inc. to help promote the [[Croc: Legend of the Gobbos|first Croc game]]. The contest pictured to the right was featured in Ziff-Davis gaming magazines like Electronic Gaming Monthly in late 1997. To enter the contest, you had to mail in a postcard with your name, address, & phone number to their sweepstakes department.
The prizes included:
1 Grand Prize received a suede wool-embroidered limited-edition jacket, 1 leather Croc backpack, 1 ''Croc: Legend of the Gobbos'' game, 1 Croc T-shirt, and 1 Croc hat.
Croc Wikia user Croc Dundee won the grand prize.▼
5 First Prize winners received 1 Croc: Legend of the Gobbos game on the console of their choice, either PlayStation or Saturn and 1 leather Croc backpack.
15 Second Prize winners received 1 Croc T-shirt and 1 Croc hat.
Winners were decided by a random drawing held on December 1st, 1997. Winners were notified by mail and telephone.
==Fox Interactive Contest==
[[Fox Interactive]] also held a contest with similar prizes. To win, people had to answer the question: ''What's in CROC's Backpack?''
There was one grand prize winner, one first place prize winner and 20 second place winners. Prizes included a suede wool-embroidered limited-edition jacket, leather Croc back backpack, Croc T-Shirt and Croc hat, much like the Argonaut contest.
