How to Win the Blog Party Prize You Want the Most

by

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Have you seen all the fantastic prizes waiting for you to win at the Ultimate Blog Party?

Is your mouth watering? Do you have a few favorites that you’re just dying for?

You’ve probably noticed that some prizes are more fitting for moms with young children, while others would be great for anyone. So we decided that we’d devise a way to help the right gifts get in the right hands.

Basically, we’re letting each of you submit to us a list of the prizes you want to receive in your preferred order. The first name we draw, we will look at her list and she will win her first choice. The second name we draw, we will do the same, but if her top choice is taken, we will move to her second choice and so on. We will do this all the way through the draw. For those winners who do not have a list submitted, or whose choices are already gone, we will then assign the next prize on the list.

This is optional – you still qualify to win a prize even if you do not submit a list!

Yes, this will take us a bit of extra time when we are awarding the prizes – but hopefully it will help get the prizes to the most suitable winners.

So here’s how to win the prize you want:

  1. Read through all the prizes and visit the listed sites.
    Take your time – you have until 12pm Eastern on March 8, 2007. Read through the prizes but also visit the blogs and spend some time browsing the sites.
  2. Prioritize which gifts you’d want most and make a list
    Each gift is numbered, so just make a list such as:
    10, 24, 30, 45, etc.
    The list doesn’t even have to include all the gifts. For example, if there are ten gifts that you know you’d really want, and besides that you’d be happy with any of the other gifts, you can list just the ten. It’s up to you… but the best idea is to make your list complete.
  3. Submit that list to us through this contact form:
    Important – include your name exactly as you will be putting it in the Mr. Linky and your blog url and email as well as the number you are on the Mr. Linky list.
    And then just list the numbers. You don’t need to put descriptions, just the prize numbers. If you’re Canadian or International, only include the Canadian and International prizes.

And don’t forget – Everyone is a Winner!
