GOLDEN, Colo., July 26, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- HumWare Media Corporation (Pink Sheets:HMWM) is pleased to announce that its Fantasy Online Sports Division has launched two highly entertaining fantasy football contests for the 2007 season and is now taking entries.
The contests can be entered at: www.fantasyonlinesports.com, www.fantasyfivesports.com and www.loserchallenge.com
Due to the popularity of fantasy sports leagues now drawing advertiser attention, the Company is also working on augmenting revenue from potential advertising and sponsorships. In 2006, marketers spent $150 million on branding and advertising deals with fantasy sports online communities, and analysts are forecasting the dollars to continue to flow, as fantasy games bring in between 15 and 18 million players each year.
HumWare's Fantasy Online Sports division has created, and operated numerous online fantasy contests over the last 15 years. With games in Football, Baseball, Basketball, Auto Racing, Hockey, Golf, and unique single-event contests, the Company has been able to capitalize on the fantasy sports market.
Last year the Loser Challenge contest was awarded the Fantasy Sports Trade Association's (FSTA) 2006 Top Industry Award for the Top Unique Contest beating out several well-known finalists including: ESPN - Mortensen Challenge, NBX, and Major League Lacrosse Challenge.
