Ok, everyone!
I’ve got a fun contest for you all!
Our dads are more important, special, and NEEDED than some of us might think.
We might take him for granted sometimes.
So to get us thinking in that direction I got a fun contest for you!
This contest is easy; you just simply write a nice detailed post about how great your dad is and why. You’ll have a chance to win a ten dollar gift certificate to the Schoolhouse Store and/or possibly get printed in a future issue (Spring, ‘08 - Father’s Day Edition) of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine along with your blog URL! This contest is not “put on” by HSB. This is just something SuperAngel and I are doing along with the help of BlogBoy and JocelynDixon.
Here are the “contest” rules even though this is NOT officially an HSB contest. It is open to anyone 21 and younger who comes across the contest on my blog, Amanda’s, Eric’s, Jocelyn, etc. 10 winners will each receive a $10 gift card (no strings attached and shipping is even free) to the Schoolhouse Store. Five winners may be chosen to appear in a Father’s Day tribute (next year) in the pages of TOS Magazine (we may ask you to edit your post down for size/clarity if you win a spot in the magazine). Blog URL may be included as well. I, Paulie Suarez, and Amanda Dixon are the judges. Basically, here are the rules:
- Post an entry entitled, “TRIBUTE TO MY DAD” (you MUST title it this way to qualify as a participant).
- Entry can be as long or short as you wish (the longer ones MAY have a better chance of winning).
- Don’t just say what is wonderful about your dad - be detailed! Tell us WHY your dad is as terrific as you say he is.
- Once you have posted your entry, come and comment on both Amanda and Paulie’s blogs (both of them), giving them the URL where your entry is posted.
- For a better chance of being selected, also post a comment on BlogBoy and Jocelyn Dixon’s blogs - provide the URL to your entry in those comment sections - IMPORTANT. BlogBoy and Jocelyn will be consultant judges.
- 21 years or younger please.
- Contest ends August 1. Winners notified August 5.
Does that all make sense?
Ok, then, you can start now!
