A Contest!


Well all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so it looks like its time for some fun around HSB! I have been chosen for a consultant judge, on a new contest. It’s pretty simple, all you need to do is write a tribute to your dad! 10 winners will receive a $10:00 gift certificate to the old school house store, and 1 lucky winner will be chosen to be in featured in TOS magazine!

 

Here are the official 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, Paul’s, Jocelyn’s, 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. Paulie Suarez, and Amanda Dixon are the judges.

 - 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 15. Winners notified August 20.

A friend of mine is having a contest on her blog. You are suppose to write an entry about a hobbit and comment on her blog telling her that you are/have done it. You can see all the rules on her blog. Oh, and her name is PansyDeepDelver.

....you should put it up! I mean, I don't think very many people know you are the originator, and even so, that's what your blog is full of!

Warmly,

Mariel


P.S. I see now why that award wasn't on your blog. ;+)

Hey Eric,

Thanks for your encouraging comment, I really appreciate it! Yes, I have been kinda of discouraged lately at the amount of people who have decided not to continue with the challenge. But it's also really encouraging to see that there are some of us that are sticking with it and really being blessed by it.

When I have more time than I do now, I am going to go back and read that post you mentioned on the comment.

Also, I hope you don't mind that I added you to my friends list. I really don't know why it's taken me so long to do that!

I hope you have a great week!


Sparkles ; )
