I posted the "What a Girl Wants" post a couple weeks ago, and I don't think everyone got my point. My point was not how horrible of a dad I have or how I don't respect him and honor him. In fact, it had nothing to do with my dad AT ALL. It was about what I feel I need as a daughter. I only shared those facts about my dad to show you what I meant. I cannot share everything that happens in my life. You don't know the whole story, only what I share.
So with that in perspective... I am pleased to announce that Paulie and I are having a contest. A "Tribute to my Dad" contest.
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, 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 I, 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 Mine 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 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.
So get your submissions in asap. I will be posting my "Tribute" sometime this next week.
As Always...
Thanks for stopping by "Daily" at the "Planet"!!

I can't wait to do this. It sounds like a great idea. I can't do it right now, but I will later.

I wish I was young enough to participate. I have a pretty great dad! LOL
I hope you know that while I suggested an entry about your Dad's strong points I DID totally understand that you in NO way intended to dishonor your dad. I just thought it would be great to hear more about you dad who is OBVIOUSLY a wonderful man as evidenced by what a GREAT family he has!!!!

This is a wonderful idea. Too bad I am too old to enter. I wrote a tribute to my Dad on Father's Day of last year. He died on September 1. I am so glad I took the opportunity while he was alive to share my heart.

I have not got my prize yet. You emailed me and said it would be sent out shortly. It has been a couple days now. Just wondering if you had forgot to send it out. :)
