"TRIBUTE TO MY DAD" Contest

SuperAngel, aka my daughter, Amanda, along with DarthYxpu, aka Paulie, are hosting a contest on their blogs to help encourage contestants to share what is great about their dad.


This is an excellent opportunity for students to practice their writing and get a chance to honor their fathers and fatherhood.

   This is an easy contest. You just write a wonderful post about your dad. We are looking for detail and love.

We don't just want a "I like my dad" post, we want something that explains why your dad is the best.

   The neat part is the prizes. WOW!! You might be featured in next year's Father's Day section. And you get a $10 gift certificate to The Schoolhouse Store. WOW!!

   Here are the "contest" rules even though this is NOT officially an HSB contest. It is something Paulie and I are doing as for our dads, because they ARE important and we love them. It is open to anyone 21 and younger who comes across the contest on my blog, Paulie's, and Jocelyn's.  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.

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's 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. Jocelyn will be consultant judges.

- 21 years or younger please.

- Contest ends August 15th.

 



blessings! -Jacque
