Christmas Paradise Contest At Blog Paradise
Written by Erz on Saturday, December 15, 2007Blog Paradise is hosting its first blog contest - The Christmas Paradise Contest! Up for grabs is a $45 T-Shirt coupon voucher from Spreadshirt.com, where you can get for yourself some beautiful customized T-shirts. We would like to thank our kind sponsors, Kevin aka Zentro, OneBuckWiki Contest Page and FiveDollarWiki Contest Page for providing the prize.
This is a quickie contest which will run for around one week and end on 22nd December 2007 (12:00 A.M., PST) so that we can send you your voucher in time for Christmas.
It is super easy to enter this blog contest and this contest is open worldwide and to both bloggers and non-bloggers alike. All you need to do is to leave a comment on this post (in the comments form) and you get one entry (no spam please)! I love to give options so if you want more entries, you can do the following as well:
-Comment on any post on this blog other than this one (1 entry)
-Add this site to your Technorati favorites (1 entry)
-Stumble this post (1 entry)
-Subscribe to my RSS feed via a reader (1 entry)
-Add my blog (http://blogodise.blogspot.com/) to your blogroll using the anchor text "Blog Paradise Contests" (2 entries)
-Subscribe to my RSS feed via email (3 entries)
-Blog about this contest with a link to the sponsors (http://fivedollarwiki.com/Contest) using the anchor text "blog contest wiki", (http://onebuckwiki.com/Contest) using the anchor text "contest wiki" and my blog (http://blogodise.blogspot.com/) using the anchor text "blog contest" and to this contest post using any anchor text. Then post a comment in this contest post with the link to your blog entry to let me know you have done so (5 entries)
Do all the above and you can get as many as 15 entries. And wait, if you have multiple blogs, you can post on each blog to get even more entries. After you are done, you must leave a comment on this post (in the comments form) to tell me you have entered and how many entries you have to be included in the draw. I moderate comments so don't worry if your comment does not appear immediately. Please also see the important note below when posting your comments.
After the contest ends, I will draw a winner randomly and email the coupon voucher to the winner as well as announce the winner on a separate post. All I ask is that the winner make a comment on the winner announcement post to confirm that he or she has received the voucher. To be fair to my sponsors, I will award the prize only if I get a minimum of 10 participants. But if there is good participation, I will add a mystery bonus prize to be given to another entrant. So there may be two winners!
So get entered today and win for yourself a nice Christmas present!
UPDATE: Thank you everyone for the great participation in this contest. As promised, I will be giving away a mystery bonus prize to a lucky second winner. To be eligible, you must subscribe to my RSS feed via email before the contest ends (To subscribe, enter your email address in the box in the sidebar under "Subscribe By Email". Complete the verification sent to your email address and you're subscribed!). Those already subscribed will be automatically included. I will pick a winner from my list of email subscribers. If you have subscribed via a reader, do remember to subscribe via email as well to be included. Do note that you cannot win more than one prize so if you have already won the voucher, I will pick another winner for the mystery bonus prize, so that there will be two winners!
*Important Note: Please post your comments either by clicking the links to the comments form above or by clicking the link to the comments form under "Something to Say?" below and not by using the contact form. Any comments received via the contact form will be excluded from this contest as I will not be able to track them. If you're viewing it from my homepage, you can go to the comments form simply by clicking on the link to "x comments", where "x" is the current number of comments on the contest post. If you have multiple entries, kindly tabulate and tell me the exact number of entries you have. Thanks!

Thanks for entering mr-gee! You are entered with 3 entries.

Hi folks,
Sorry if it wasn't clear enough. Just to clarify, only comments made in the comments form under the link "Something to Say?" will be entered into the contest. This goes for comments in this contest post or other posts in this blog. Comments sent to me via my "Contact Me" contact form will not be included as I will not be able to keep track of them.
As I may not have been clear enough before, I will include those who sent me comments via my contact form - Lou, Sara Bolt, Mama Zen and Andrea with 1 entry to this contest. From now on, I will only accept comments posted in the comments form as entries in the draw.
If you do not wish to leave your email publicly in the comments form, please feel free to send it to me via my contact form. However, please remember to also post in the comments form to be included in the contest and also let me know the name you used in the comments form so I can match your email address to you if you win.
For those who have more than 1 entry, please let me know how many you have and the ways you have entered so I can add you to the draw accordingly.
Thanks and happy entering!
By Erz on December 15, 2007 at 7:40 PM
Just to add, I will be using the comments form of this contest post to track entries to the draw so if you've blogged about the contest or done any of the above ways to enter the contest, please remember to let me know by posting a comment on the comment form of this contest post (also include some way of contacting you if you win). If you've blogged about it, include the URL to the exact post. If you don't make a comment here, I'm afraid I will not be able to enter you as I will not be able to track your entry or entries.
Thanks!

Excellent JD! I didn't get your comment on the other post though.

But you're still in with 10 entries as I count the comment here as one entry as well! Thanks!
Nanabee - You have 4 entries.

Hi folks,
I noticed that there are still a lot of comments coming to me via my "Contact Me" contact form. Please note I am unable to track those and hence they are excluded from the contest as mentioned earlier. Only comments made in the comments form on this page are valid.
Thanks and keep on spreading the word!

Animeorb - Great! You get 11 entries in fact as your comment here counts for another entry - that's how simple it is!
Thanks for the participation. Keep those entries coming in. Don't stop at one entry =)

If you haven't subscribed to my feeds via email, go get subscribed so you get a chance at 2 prizes instead of just one. And it doesn't take a lot of effort or time either.

I love t-shirts because you become a walking talking point when wearing them. The political ones are the best
