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.

·
You will need to find 15 words and 13 trees for a
total of 28 entries. Sound like a lot? It is, but the prize is

This is a used device. The cover is slightly scratched but the
reading screen is clear and unmarred. The device is in good working
order. It will be shipped to you with the winning books already
