Win a Trip to Japan (second annual contest)

All you have to do is buy a book and leave a verified review on or after 7/22/2015 on one of my books. Then email me (dwjacks01@yahoo.com) the name of the book you left the review on, date you left the review, and the name and contents of the review so I can verify it. You can buy and review any of the books or multiple books. Each *verified review* will be one entry into the drawing. This will be a raffle style drawing.

Starting on the 8/17/2015 and each following week after i will be randomly picking a book to reduce the price at amazon to .99 cents. The reason it is only being done at amazon is because the other sites take much longer for prices to change. I will post on the blog which book will be reduced for that week so check back on each week to see what book will be reduced for that week.  

Things you need to know before you enter: You will need a passport/ or visa. If you don't have one it only costs about 120 dollars in the states. If you live outside of the U.S. you are still eligible as long as it is legal for you in your country. If you are the winner I will need to know what airport you will fly out of (International airport.), your address and name. (This is only if you win so I can book the tickets, so do not send this personal info with your picture of the review.) Now if you win and you wish someone else to go in your place that is fine with me. If you are under the age of 18 you must have your parent's permission before entering the contest. If you don't want the trip you may instead request  $1500 that will come on a prepaid visa card. If you have any questions you can contact dwjacks01@yahoo.com


Please be advised this is a personal contest. I am not a big company, so once you decide on your dates and it is booked it can not be changed. You will need to pick your dates at least 3 to 4 weeks in advance to help ensure that there will be a flight available. (Subject to rules and laws governed by your state or country.)...That is all.

My goal is to have 500 entries. If I do then I will most likely hold a trip giveaway once a year with different destinations each time. So even if you don't want to make a quick video, send it to someone who might.

1st name drawn (trip to japan (also available Europe, France, Germany, and anywhere in the U.S.)   7 days in hotel and $500 spending money)

2nd name drawn ($250) prepaid visa card.

for every 250 entries after 500 there will be another drawing for a ($100 dollar gift card)
 

Rule clarifications


Deadline for submission: submissions will be closed on Jan first at 12pm(noon) central U.S. time.

Age: you must be at least 18 or have your parents permission. in the case you are under 18 then it will be your parents who will be officially submitting.

Just my view

I will say one thing and only one thing about all the headache i have read lately. i am not trying to rip someone off so if someone has said this before my bad i wasn't trying to plagiarize.

"The second we take away one persons freedom to choose the direction of their own life is the moment that we have destroyed the freedom of choice. The second we silence one voice no matter how detestable their views is the moment we have destroyed the freedom of speech."
