Hi Ryan,
Basically a carnival is a great way to build links for your site so you place higher in the various search engines.
What you do is submit your best article of the week to a carnivals and hopefully the include you in there post of best article for the week. You then provide a link to the blog that hosted the carnival. If the host decided not to include you because your article didn't agree with him/her, that's just part of the game and you shouldn't be dicouraged, keep trying.
The benefits are 2 fold,
1.) You get a backlink (the entire basis of higher rankings on search engines)
2.) The blog host also gets a link for your site to them.
So basically it's a win-win for your site and for the carnival host of that week.
If you want go to BloggerCarnivals.com and submit one of your articles. Hosting is incredible easy too if you are interested!
Hope that helped, and if not check out this article: Benefits of Blog Carnivals
Bests,
