New Contest: Free Premium WP Theme Giveaway

I would like to pause the Amazon contest for the next two weeks and instead run a different contest altogether. Since many of you have your own blogs, how about some Free Premium Themes? Next two weeks, two winners will be given these premium wordpress themes for free each.

Sponsor of the contest

These themes are provided by Jay of BlogOhBlog.com and can be seen in “live demo” at modblogger.blogohblog.net Normally each costs $89.99, but of course they are free for the AdesBlog contest winner.

  No, you don’t have to enter again. You will automatically be included in this contest.

FAQ of amazon contest applies here too. read here.

Contest Continues…

Good news is that I have decided to continue the contest. There were total of 56 entries for the first draw. Please feel free to enter to the second draw. Contest details are located here.

People who have entered for the first draw will be automatically included in the upcoming draws, except for the winners of course.

Winner for the second draw will be announced on 12th April 2008. So enter anytime before this date.

The earlier you enter the more chance of winning you have. So enter now.

I think it’s about time I organize some contest. How about $80.00 Free Amazon Gift Card? I am sure all of you like to read and would be glad to have extra 80 bucks to buy some of your favorite books in your Amazon wishlist.

I believe most of the books in Amazon are prices below $80.00, so it should be more than enough to buy a book. First, I wanted to give $50.00 only, then I thought it will be too small, since many books are priced 50+ and 60+.

Contest Rules

The rule is simple (as usual). There is only one rule, and that is to subscribe to my RSS.

But this time, I want to make minor change to the contest rules. To make it fair to all the contestants, I want to see a proof of your subscription. This would eliminate the chance of the gift going to someone who didn’t subscribe but merely claimed that he subscribed and provided his contact details. You can say it’s a captcha for bogus subscribers. Is that okay?

Frequently Asked Questions

I am already subscribed to your RSS, do I have to send you my details again?
Yes. Only who send me their details by email or by commenting will be entered into this contest. If you have entered my previous contests then please re-send me your details again. Otherwise you won’t be included in this contest.

This is because, last winner of the 1000 Free Entrecard Credit Contest didn’t claim the prize. Probably he subscribed to my earlier contests (free domain name + hosting), and since I automatically inserted those who were already in my previous contests, there were some inconsistencies. Because of the automatic inclusion, some of the people who have already unsubscribed were also included in the contest. So, this is to prevent from such things happening again in the current contest.

Will I be included in the contest if I just say I subscribed, but didn’t send you screenshot?
No. You won’t be included in the contest if your application is not complete. If you just email me or comment under this post, saying “i subscribed, pick me, pick me!”, you won’t be included in the contest.

Therefore, please follow the rules and make sure that you do not miss any of the required steps above.

Can I enter more than once?
There is no point entering more than once.

How you will choose the winner?
Winner will be chosen randomly out of all the participants. Everybody will have an equal chance.
