Paying it Forward
I won 500 Entrecard credits on the Paying It Forward contest at Dipping into the Blogpond this last week. Thanks, Meg!
Now I have to be nice to someone else, as per the Paying It Forward tradition. Hmmmm, I pondered this for ages and came up with this.
What you have to do?
Simply leave a comment on this post.
You also need to be willing to participate in the Paying It Forward initiative and run your own Paying It Forward contest if you win (or you’ve already done one on your blog).
When do you have to do it?
I will award the prizes next Sunday, Easter Sunday. Think of them as another present from the Easter Bunny. Thus, comments need to be made by midnight AEST on 22 March.
What are the prizes?
First prize:
- 1,500 Entrecard credits; plus
- a free ad on my site, 125 x 125 size, right below the Entrecard in my sidebar - for one week.
- But wait, there’s more ….a free set of steak knives, maybe, do I hear you ask? Not quite, but I’m going to pick up a nice little trinket on my trip to China next month, maybe some sort of fun USB toy, maybe something else, and it will be all yours if you’re the winner.
Consolation Prizes:
250 Entrecard credits each to 2nd and 3rd place.
Bonus Prize:
250 Entrecard credits for the wittiest or most interesting comment on my blog during the next week, and this is not limited to just this post. Any comment on any post is eligible. I will award this bonus prize based solely on my opinion of the interestingness or wittiness of the comments.

I will participate in ANY contest that is even tangentially related to the possibility of burning Kevin Spacey.

This is a pretty generous contest! And unlike Meg, this is an entry!!!
Pick me! Pick me!

I have strong philosophical objections to these types of contests, but I am greedy at heart, so count me in. I promise to give a few away if I win.

I’m now going to have to check out what Entrecard is, but it all sounds cool and I’m happy to figure out some cool thing to pay forward in a contest on the blog, so I’m in. I must admit it was the words ‘fun USB toy’ that finally made the decision for me.

Because there is “nice little trinket” from China, I would love joining this contest lol!!
It is going to be my first time to join Entrecard’s contest and I hope I’ll win.

I don’t really understand it BUT it would be great incentive to learn! ;o)

Trinkets from far off lands are always welcome- count me in!

Count me in!
