For the month of April, I will be running an art contest.  The rules are the following:

1. Draw a picture of the designated character.
2. Email picture to slepsnor@yahoo.com.  Write the character’s name in the subject line. For example, April will be: Nimby.  Also, state which book you want a copy of in the body of your email.  This will be further explained under prizes.
3. Promote the contest and your picture to build up hype for the voting.

The voting will be done by a poll created on April 25th.  Basically, I will give 5 days of voting for the contest, which will be put under a ‘Poll’ tab on my website.

The prizes are

First place: Signed paperback of Beginning of a Hero or Prodigy of Rainbow Tower (once available). Winner’s choice because some people might already have copies of Beginning of a Hero.

Second place: Signed Beginning of a Hero bookmark and a CD copy of Beginning of a Hero or Prodigy of Rainbow Tower.  Again, I don’t want to give somebody a book that they already own, so they get to choose.

Third place: CD copy of either Beginning of a Hero or Prodigy of Rainbow Tower.

I am going to turn this post into a tab under the ‘Monthly Giveaway Contests’ tab on my website.  On the first of every month, there will be a post about the character for the month with a reminder and a brief description.

As usual, feedback is appreciated to make sure the contest works.
