Although I've "liked " it myself, the competition is actually breaking Facebook Rules. You can not offer a prize simply for getting "liked"
http://www.facebook.com/promotions_guidelines.php

Some common rule breaking includes

"

Running competitions directly on their Facebook Page.

You are required to use a competition application

must not run a competition directly on your Wall
.
Having users automatically enter by ‘Liking’ a Page.

You may have them first ‘Like’ your Page but this must lead on to entering a properly set up competition.

Conditioning entry in the promotion upon a user providing content on Facebook, such as posting on a Wall of a Page, uploading a photo, posting a status update (such as asking Friends to ‘Like’ the Page).

Any interaction a user takes must be using the competition application and not directly on your Page.

Notifying winners on their Facebook Wall.

Most people do not realise that Facebook requires that you notify the winner by email or other means, but not using Facebook in any way to do so.
