Contest Rules

The following rules apply to all contests run at mommy23monkeys.com.  I reserve the right to change the rules at any time.  Certain contests might have additional entry opportunities and those will be listed on the contest post.

My contest will have the first, MANDATORY entry listed on the contest post.  The following additional entries can be earned, but only after you do the first mandatory contest requirement.  If your number is chosen on an extra entry, but you did not complete the mandatory first entry, then you will forfeit and a new winner will be chosen.

Extra entries:

• Tweet the contest @mommy23monkeys and earn one extra entry per tweet.  You can tweet as often as you like for unlimited entries.  You must link back in a comment showing me each tweet.  Please do not SPAM your followers, must have at least 50 followers to count.
• Subscribe to my blog with email updates or RSS for two entries.   Leave two comments letting me know you subscribed.
• Favorite this blog at Technorati and receive one entry.  That’s right, leave me a comment with your Technorati user name so I can verify.
• Blog about my contest on your own blog linking back to me and to my contest sponsor, receive 3 entries.  Leave me three comments, with the link.  You might want to check out some of my blog post guidelines first.
• Become a Facebook Fan and receive one extra entry.  Don’t forget the comment.

So there you have it.  All the ways to earn extra entries into my contests.  Easy peasy, right?

I am not responsible if you choose to do an entry with three extra entries, but you only leave one comment.  That will only be counted as one.  I will not go through and add in more entries. one comment = one entry, no matter what.

In addition, contest winners are chosen with Random.org.  If the contest winner wins with an extra entry, I will verify that they completed the mandatory first entry before awarding the prize.  The winner will be notified by email (please be sure you leave me a valid one) and will have 72 hours to respond.  If the winner does not reply, I will either choose a new winner or give it away during a live giveaway.

Email addresses obtained here on mommy23monkeys are used for the sole purpose of notifying contest winners and are never sold or shared.  It is not necessary to type your email in the body of the comment since it’s required, and hidden, when you post the comment.  I will see it, and nobody else has to.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  Thanks so much for entering my contests!
