Hi Guys,
Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm hosting the first ever Dreams Cash True Holiday Writing Contest this year! There are some great prizes on the line (see below) and I would love for all of you to join.
The Awesome Prizes
1st Place: The All-New Amazon Kindle Fire 7'' HD Tablet
2nd Place: Apple TV with 1080p HD
3rd Place: The Oontz Angle Ultra-Portable Wireless Speaker
All the prizes are brand new, unboxed and will be shipped anywhere in the world (so if you are in Canada, UK, Australia or elsewhere, you are welcome to join).
Contest Rules
The contest is open to all finance bloggers, writers, professionals or anybody who just likes to write about money and finance. To participate, please submit one well-written article that meets the following criteria by Sunday, December 1st:
Theme: I would like to hear your advice for setting a New Year's resolution that will help people get closer to reaching financial freedom. You are welcome to focus on just one piece of financial wisdom or include an entire list of suggestions. You can also write about which New Year's resolutions helped you the most in the past. I'm looking for something creative, insightful and inspiring!
Content: your article must be at least 750 words and not be published anywhere else – unique, original posts only, please.
Author Bio: you can include a short, 2-3 sentence bio to be published with your article (I have Google Authorship enabled, so you'll show up as the author in search).
Links: please include no more than 2 self-serving links in the body of your article and no more than 2 links in your bio. This shouldn't be a promotional post.
You have two weeks to submit your article to: anton.ivanov [at] dreamscashtrue.com. If you are running a day or two late, I will still accept your submission if you let me know ahead of time.
The Voting Process
Since I expect to get a lot of submissions, the voting process will be divided into two stages:
Preliminary Stage: me and my small editorial team will collect and read all submitted articles. We will pick 10 of the best ones to advance to the final stage. If your article is not picked as one of the 10, you are welcome to publish it on your own website (or wherever you want), since I don't think your hard work should go to waste. The 10 finalists will be announced on Sunday, December 8th.
Final Stage: all 10 of the finalists' articles will be published on my website, starting on Monday, December 9th (3 to 4 a day). The final winners will be determined by the readers – I will keep a scoreboard of the total number of Facebook likes, Tweets and Google +1's that each article receives. The article that is shared the most will be the winner, with runners up in 2nd and 3rd places. The final voting stage will last 2 weeks – until Sunday, December 22, when I will announce the winners.
I look forward to making this contest a huge success and having a lot of fun in the process. The best writers will be rewarded with some great prizes right in time for the holidays!
If you have any questions or suggestions, just let me know.
