Minti Mother's Day Competition - win moolah!!

Comment Published at 18:5018:5022 comments22 comments132 Visits132 VisitsReport

Write great articles and win m$10,000 to do with as you please!

Here are the rules for this competition:

1. Write great articles between now and Mother's day (May 11, 2008). The articles do not need to be Mother's Day related, but they do need to be parenting related (See RachelCook's Minti's Editorial Guidelines advice).

2.The articles must recieve at least 10 votes to be considered. 
(Should there be multiple articles that have the same score, the article with the most votes will win. If the articles have the same scores and the same amount of votes, then the Minti Team will have to chose the winner(s).)

3. The top 3 rated articles win m$10,000!!!!

4. Write multiple articles to boost your chance of winning.

5. Articles must adhere to the ToS and CoH and free of copyright issues.

All articles that meet the above rules will be considered for this competition, so you don't need to do anything but write!

Do you like giving Minti Seabreezes to your friends? Imagine how many you can give away with m$10,000? Or maybe you want to give it away to someone special? Do whatever you want!

Great idea, just checking, when did this competition start? I published a piece yesterday, is it included? Do we have to say we want to be in the comp or are all articles already considered?

Thanks, Libby

Re: Minti Mother's Day Competition - win moolah!! - VOTE GAMING

In the spirit of Mother's Day, as most of us here on Minti are, let us not make this into a popularity voting where people vote highly on their friends (or low for those who are not their friends). We can tell who votes on what, and what their votes are. Vote on the content and merit of the advice and not the author.

We will keep an eye on things to make sure this does not turn into a popularity contest.

The pressures you put us writers under! lol.  I'm going to have to sit this one out, way too tired and the last thing I wrote, I'm still considering if it is actually readable or just my babble from to many late nights!

Good luck to everyone else though!

you're a treasure trove of advice - with twins and all! Not much twin advice (except ones I've written) here on Minti, you know.

How about an article about bilingual families? Or being a step-mum? Or... how to deal with long distance relationships between your parents and Francis?

Re: Minti Mother's Day Competition - win moolah!!

great suggestions!

I like the long distance relationship with grandparents. Lots of possibilities there... like  ways to keep grandparents in your child's life even if they are far away.   c'mon.. tell me that's not good!

by the way, if there are some top articles tied for score, we will then choose the one with the most amount of votes.

ie: if 4 articles all have an ave score of 5 stars, then the 3 with the most amount of votes will win.

If the number of votes are tied then we may be forced to select one.

Re: Minti Mother's Day Competition - win moolah!!

I should probably note here that all normal rules to Minti apply, like copyright issues, vote targeting, etc. But I guess you already knew that.

Happy writing and I wish you all the best in the articles. I look forward to reading them all.
