CONTEST CLOSED


These Are ARCS. They are donated by a very very very very very very very nice author. (wish I was her daughter, lol) (above books)


OPEN TO EVERYONE
(Big box, only US, the arcs I'm giving, EVERYONE)

Option 1:
Recreate One Of The Book Images in a post on your blog or include the link to your post. Be Creative. Have fun. Take A Picture, Make A Picture. Include yourself, include others, be creative.

Option 2: Make Your Own Cover Based On The Title Of The Book. Be creative.

Option 3: Recreate Something Like Fate. Be Creative! I love love love this cover.

This contest is based solely on creativity and what the hosts, myself and the author think are the most creative.

There will be voting rounds. So Please come back and vote!

Bonus Pictures: YOU WILL NOT WIN THESE BOOKS
these are my top wishlist books, so I'm adding them in to use for the recreations:



Winner 1 Will Recieve the ARCS in the picture above (the 9 arcs). From the donator, not me. (I do not own these books, I've had people emailing me asking to borrow them!)

Winner 2 Will Recieve a mystery 2010 ARC (its a surprise) will be based off your votes.


Be Sure to leave Link in mr linky AND under comments make a comment so we know whose is whose link.

Contest Ends in a few days, I'll let ya know. a few people asked for an extension.

(You can create up to two each, 1 of different ones) (not 2 creations of the same one) (Basically if you do option 3, you can have up to 3 creations)

    in my post can i put up more than one recreation?
    or does it have to be just one?

  7. CindyOctober 25, 2009 at 12:35 AM

    Dani, you can create up to two pictures. So you could do 2 seperate pictures (not 2 of the same book) if that makes sense.

  8. JustineOctober 25, 2009 at 12:36 AM

    So if we do 2, does that mean we'll have 2 entries?

    ReplyDelete
  9. CindyOctober 25, 2009 at 12:38 AM

    Yep, 2 entries into contest. I'm going to make a 4th winner into this. So technically 3 entries (the 3rd will be the 3rd option.)

    Wow, what an awesome contest! Just curious - so is this only open to people who have blogs? Or can people without a blog just post a link to the image?

    ReplyDelete
  13. CindyOctober 25, 2009 at 1:07 AM

    No, its open to everyone. Only winner 3 is based on blogs, everyone can enter. But if your international only for the ones i'm giving. I need to make note on that.

    I want to take part in this, too! Although I probably do not possess a single creative bone in my body, I posted my book cover for Before I Fall by Lauren Olivier on the Mister Linky. Hope you like it!

    I also invited people to join this competition. Here's my blog post: http://alessandrasplace.blogspot.com/2009/10/big-box-challenge-at-princess-bookie.html

  23. barnsdale11October 25, 2009 at 6:58 AM

    I have a question, because I didn't really understand it in the rules. If I want to post the covers (I mean, the "options" you gave), do I have to be from the US?

    What part exactly is open internationally?

    ReplyDelete
  24. barnsdale11October 25, 2009 at 7:39 AM

    Okay, here is the link to my entry:

    http://librojoven.blogspot.com/2009/10/cosas-raras-para-concursos-raros.html

    I did "Before I fall" and "Fallen". I think they are both Option2, but that's up to you to decide. There is one thing I didn't really get: you said that you couldn't enter twice the same one, but where you talking about different books, or different Options?

    Thank you for the contest!!

  25. CindyOctober 25, 2009 at 10:00 AM

    Barnsdale, what I mean is you can not win the big box, the 9 arcs, that would be expensive to ship internationally but I'm willing to send my arcs out of the US, no problem! So submit away

    Here I am again ^_^

    i have a paypal account. Could it be shipped internationally if I afforded the costs??? please???

    Well, i have changed my submission: now i have 2 submissions: one option 1 for GONE, and one option 2 for Before I fall.

    They are here:

    http://librojoven.blogspot.com/2009/10/cosas-raras-para-concursos-raros.html

    You can see that I have tried hard... :) So... could it be possible, if I paid the costs?

    See you :)

  31. KateOctober 25, 2009 at 12:53 PM

    Sorry, just to clarify, if I'm from the UK, what can I enter for? And do I just pick one option?

    ReplyDelete
  32. CindyOctober 25, 2009 at 1:10 PM

    Kate:
    You can pick any option you want, or do more than one. Each person can do up to 2, UNLESS you also do something like fate(so 3 if it includes something like fate)

    Barnsdale: I'll ask the author about that. No clue what shipping will be though.

    I'm entrant number 19 (on the Mr Linky) and I did option two. I'm still a little confused but I'm hoping that what I said/did fit in with the rules. I'm from the UK. I'll check back here so if I've done anything wrong just drop a note on this post. Sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  37. CindyOctober 25, 2009 at 2:01 PM

    The options are just to expand Kate. You did it right.

    And Something Like Fate, is its own category under one of them, as of now, only 2 people competing for that prize. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Someone will answer I'm sure, if I'm not online at the time.

    Don't worry about the shipment. I've paid expensive shipments before, but they are usually more affordable than buying the books themselves ;)
