Christmas Scavenger Hunt + Grand Prize

Updated on 12/5 :
Hi everyone!! Hope you're all having fun participating in the scavenger hunt :) Just an FYI, the letters go up during the week. Weekends are for resting and relaxing! ;)

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask away!

Have a great weekend!!


Hi Gang!!
*waves enthusiastically*

It's officially December which means Christmas is right around the corner. We have recruited the help of some of our very favorite bloggers to help spread a little Christmas cheer with a new game & contest for the first 15 days of December.

Starting TODAY we'll be hosting a SCAVENGER HUNT across the blogosphere. 

Here's how it works:

• Vanessa and I have decided on a word that will be split and scrambled.
• Each day, starting on the 12/1, ONE blogger will feature ONE letter button on their blog for ONE day.
• Participants will follow clues (provided by us) that will lead them to your blog to seek out the "letter of the day".
• The chosen word is actually 11 letters...so including today, the contest will run for a total of 11 days with the help of 10 bloggers (there's 10 because we're providing the first letter =).  
• At the end of the 11th day, the participants will have all the letters that they need to un-scramble the mystery word.
• From there, they'll each have a ONE week to unscramble the word and submit their entry.  The form will be posted on Thursday, 12/16!
• The entries will be thrown into a random drawing for a GRAND CHRISTMAS PRIZE consisting of autographed YA books!

Here's a quick run-through on the timeline:
The contest will officially start TODAY, Wednesday 12/1, with us hosting the first letter.  The contest will end with the final letter on Wednesday, 12/15.  Participants will have until 7:00 pm on Tuesday, 12/21 to submit their entry.  The winner will be announced on Wednesday, 12/22.  The package will ship immediately upon receipt of the winner's address so it should get there before the New Years!

Make sense?  I hope so because it's really quite simple!
