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.
Here are all the places that you can purchase and review the books.

thanks victor
DeleteThanks for doing this again, I was SO close last time!
ReplyDeleteHopefully I can do this every year. That is my goal at least. though every year i plan to change up how the contest is done. last year the videos were much harder than i thought so this year i went with something easier to do. I had originally thought of doing a cover contest but i think i will save that for next year.
DeleteHey. This is a great contest but I never got round to entering last year! Hopefully I can be lucky this time around. Anyway, I have a quick little question. I've read some of your books, but I purchased them on Amazon UK. Is it valid to leave a review on Amazon UK or are you only accepting review from Amazon US? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI will be accepting reviews from any of the amazon sights, barns and noble, kobo, and smashwords. also no matter what rating the review is it is still eligible for entry.
DeleteHow will you decide on the winner? Will it be random (by luck) or do you take in consideration the quality of the review? If yes, isn't the quantity one can write on amazon as a review too little if order to write a serious review on the book? It might be a little inconvenient to write an essay with 10 pages on amazon :p
ReplyDeleteAnother question: If one reviews multiple books, does the chance to win add up?
How will you be deciding the winners? Is it by luck of the draw, or does the content of the review affect your standings?
ReplyDeleteso that it is legal it falls under a raffle. the names will be drawn randomly. So you could give me a 1 star review and would still be entered. otherwise it would be against amazon toc for reviews as well.
DeleteDo we need to buy paperback book or digital is ok?
ReplyDeleteeither is fine.
DeleteNow this is cool! Possibly winning my dream trip doing what I passionate for: reading and talking about books! I hear the Universe calling. Let's get start.

ReplyDeleteso all we have to do is buy the book (for example on amazon) and then post the review after we read it on the site we brought it from? (just making sure I would be entered in correctly ^_^ )
ReplyDeleteyep that is all but you do have to send me an email so i can contact you if you win.
