Belated Birthday Contest Begins

Posted by: gretchen on August 20, 2007 |

I wanted to kick off a new contest last month to help celebrate Girls Can’t WHAT? turning two, but my life has been so crazy that I just didn’t get it squeezed in. I figure “better late than never”, so here is it is… the Belated Birthday Contest. There will be FIVE winners selected for this contest, each receiving a t-shirt of their choice from the GCW shop.

How to Play

  • To enter, you must write and submit at least one post to this blog. Entries can be funny, serious, personal or whatever you want them to be. You can rant, you can write poetry or songs. You can interview a friend who inspires you or write about someone you have never met. Just consider the theme of this site and have fun with it.
  • Entries will be judged on creativity, relevance to this site and interest by other readers. (Interest will be based on comments left by other readers, so feel free to invite your friends to comment on your post. ;) )
  • You can submit as many posts as you want, however, spamming will not score you any points.

The Rules

  • You must be female (after all this IS a web community for WOMEN)
  • You must be registered in order to participate.
  • Your entry must be posted no later than midnight on September 30th, 2007 CST.
  • Entries are subject to moderation and I have the right to remove posts deemed inappropriate for this site.
  • Forum posts do not count, only entries in the blog section will be judged.
  • If you have ever won anything from Girls Can’t WHAT? before, you can still participate. :) No limits.

If you have any comments or questions about this contest, please post them in the comments below. Have fun. :D

    Update: I found a bug that was hosing up registration for some folks. That should all be fixed now, but if you have any trouble registering or you do not receive your password, use the contact link at the top of this page to let me know. :)

    Wait a minute — can we use a previously published post from our own blog? Or does it have to be original?

    Good question. I thought about that and I don’t have a problem with cross-posting as long as it’s relevant. Bring it on. >:/
