Here are the rules for the First Annual Cerridwen Spring
Giveaway:
·
The Grand Prize winner must be a United
States resident (due to mailing and custom costs, we
cannot ship the grand prize out of the country).
·
You must be a member of the Cerridwen Chat
Yahoo group to participate in this contest. All clues
and contest information will be posted on that loop. To
subscribe, send a blank email to:
cerridwenchat-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
·
You cannot share information about the
contest with other readers. All participants should act
independently.
·
Every day, starting on March 1 and ending
on March 15, a clue will be posted on the Cerridwen Chat
loop. This clue will lead you to a specific web site or
blog location. You must find the hidden/special word on
that web site or blog. There will be fifteen words to
find, one for each day of the contest. The word will be
in a special font, something like
this so it will stand out and you should be able
to see it easily. If you want to be eligible for the
grand prize, you have to find these words. Note the word
and the location where you found it.
·
You also need to find a tree icon and note
that location. Beginning on March 1, look for the tree
icon on the web site or blog of the participating
authors (see the author list at the end of this page).
Make a note of the location of the tree icon or blog.
·
The contest ends on March 15 at 5 PM. The
tree icons and the 'secret words' will be removed from
the author locations at that time.
·
Assemble the words you've found into a
sentence. Send the sentence and the location of the tree
icons you found in the following format in the
body of an email to GreenBookFriend@yahoo.com.
Sentence: write your sentence here

trees for a total of 28 entries. Sound like a lot? It
is, but the prize is pretty big, too!

after that time.

The grand prize winner will be chosen from
those who submit correct responses.
