Announcing Zook Book Nook's June Bug Contest

Summer is almost here and nothing sounds better to me than an icy cold mint chocolate chip frappuccino from Starbucks! Or maybe a snow cone with red, white, and raspberry blue stripes.

We as bloggers may only be able to share our desires with one another in the blogosphere , but it doesn't mean we can't reach out and share a cold drink with one another occasionally.

So drinks are on me for the first three Mondays of June!



Today I am announcing the June Bug Contest here at Zook Book Nook!

There will be a total of three contest days, each day with a different theme, and you can enter any or all of the contests. So you have three chances to win one of three prizes (a $15 Starbucks gift card with a nifty greeting on it from me).

Below are the contest guidelines (you'll find it's probably the easiest contest you'll ever enter). Just follow along and enjoy this month on Zook Book Nook! Good luck!

June Bug Contest Guidelines
  • Every Monday there will be a new contest with a different theme. Each theme is based on photo(s) and words.

  • Read the question for the contest and submit your answer via email to zookbooknook (at) yahoo (dot) com by the following Sunday at noon EST.

  • In your email please include a link to your blog.

  • On the same day that you email me your contest entry please post in your blog a link to my blog announcing this contest.

  • It's just me here in the Nook, so I'll be the sole judge. I'll try my best to be as objective as possible.

  • Check back to my blog each Tuesday for an announcement of the winner!

  • Winners keep an eye open for a $15.00 Starbucks gift card coming to you in the mail!

June Bug Contest Schedule

Below is a list of the 3 contests, their announcement dates, deadlines, and a brief description of what to expect. On the day I announce each contest there will be a more detailed list of guidelines provided for the contest.

  • June 1st (Day 1): Facial Expression Identification (Deadline: June 7th) - A mix 'n match photo writing contest, starring my daughter and my attempt to describe her.

  • June 8th (Day 2): If a Picture Paints a 1,000 words (or maybe just 300) (Deadline: June 14th) - Your chance to write a fiction or non-fiction piece about a photo provided by me.

  • Jund 15th (Day 3): Picture This (Deadline: June 21st) - Now you pick a photo of your own and write a poem about it.

If you are interested in submitting an entry, please check back to my blog on June 1st, 8th, and 15th for each contest's guidelines! Good luck!

Is there a Starbucks in Germany? I've craved this drink for the last nine months and splurged yesterday since my hubby was with me and helped me drink it! I am looking forward to hosting my first contest on my blog!!
