A reader wrote to me to let me know of a photo contest that he came across. This photo contest is a collaboration between Fujifilm and Rite Aid Pharmacy so you can expect some really generous prizes up for grabs!

There are three categories in this photo contest; Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Graduation. Actually, this seasonal photo contest began on 1st May, 2010 but I am lazy and only managed to post this up today. Anyway, fret not. If you are interested, this contest ends on June 26, 2010 at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time so there is still plenty of time.

This contest is only open to legal residents of the United States or the District of Columbia who are 18 years old or older. I wonder, because these are “people” photo contest, if the entrants are required to obtain release letters from their “models”.

Although I no longer keep a dog because of awful experiences in the past, I still love dogs, a lot. I always look out for dog freebies or samples and most of all, dog photos that will always bring a smile to my face. My friend showed me this photo of a dog smiling and I smiled along with him. So cute, right?

If you have a dog, you can enter him or her into this GREENIES competition where you stand to win One year of free GREENIES® products plus have the photo of your dog on the cover of The Bark magazine, Sept. 2010 issue. It would surely be a proud moment for any pet owner!

In any case, all entrants will receive a free trial copy of The Bark so even if your dog does not receive enough votes to win the competition, at least you won’t be empty handed!

I came across this wonderful contest with a grand prize of an eco trip up for grabs and would like to participate in it but unfortunately, it is only open to legal residents of the 50 states of the United States of America. Anyhow, even though I am not eligible to participate, you could try your luck.

Besides the grand prize of an eco trip which includes airfare for one person, the is the first prize of a Nintendo Wii system, and the game for Wii, Endless Ocean, a second prize of a Nautica watch, third prize of a$100 gift certificate to Nautica.com and a Nautica rope bracelet.

Even though one may not be lucky enough to win the grand prize, all these prizes look attractive enough to me. What do you think? Are they worth your time?

Free Slideshow Maker

Some of you may know that I participated in Exabyte’s Snap & Win Contest lately to try to win the prize of a Canon EOS 1000D DSLR camera. I took some photos of valid URLs from magazines lying around the house and submitted them but I am just not happy with the shots.

Over the weekend, I surfed around for free tools to enhance my entry to the contest and found this PhotoSnack slideshow maker, a fuss free website that allows us to upload our photos and turn them into a slideshow by selecting one of the preset layouts.

Uploading photos can be a pain. It took me almost half a day just uploading twenty odd images because I had to do it one by one; but I have to admit that the size of my images contributed to the speed. However, the finished result is awesome especially when viewing my slideshow on my new 20in widescreen LCD monitor. Check it out here:

PhotoSnack is highly customizable and what I like is that if you make changes to your slideshow, it will automatically be reflected in your slideshow that you have embedded on your blog or other social sites. You don’t have to embed a new script or make manual changes.

By the way, I will be updating my slideshow with new photos from time to time before the close of the contest and this is going to be my new entry to Exabyte’s Snap & Win Contest! Wish me luck!

Opus Hotel Red Carpet Ready Contest

I thought it had been a long time since I updated my blog and true enough, it had been a week! My mind was willing but the heart was not. Instead, I spent the past week playing one game after another on Facebook, hopping from Pet Society to Restaurant City to Mafia Wars to Underworld to Hatclings, Sorority Life, Glamour Age, Farm Town, FarmVille, Fantasy Farm, Barn Buddy, Happy Harvest, Happy Farm, Gardenhood, Happy Ranch, and the 101 other farming games that I even forgot their names. That’s why my friends were screaming that my crops are dead! LOL

Coincidentally, someone contacted me this morning; I am sure I am only one of the hundreds or even thousands of bloggers that she has contacted. Fair enough, she wants some publicity for the Opus Hotel contest that she is touting called Red Carpet Ready Contest.

Firstly, let me just say that if anyone wishes to have their contest mentioned on my blog, please at least leave me a link to the contest site. I really do not appreciate wasting time searching for it on the web.

Anyway, this Red Carpet Ready Contest is a photo contest for Facebook users who are in Canada only. If you fit the bill and would like to take part and have a shot at winning the Opus Vancouver 2009 Much Music Video Awards Package OR Opus Hotel Montréal 2009 Much Music Video Awards Package, check out the link I have enclosed in this post.

If you do not have a Facebook account yet, register now. It’s free. Besides being able to socialize and keep in touch with friends, family and associates, play games but don’t play as much as I do, please, you would also be able to participate in many contests and grab some freebies, particularly if you are living in the United States. More and more companies are engaging in social media marketing and Facebook is currently the top choice.

The other day, my friend asked me where I purchase my domain names from as he has been buying from GoDaddy and wanted a cheaper option. I told him that I get mine from Namecheap because it’s cheaper. Well, only sometimes!

Who Is Hosting This has collaborated with GoDaddy to give away $10 GoDaddy gift cards to blog reviews on web hosts. Of course, there are requirements to be met so not every review will earn this gift card. Only high quality ones with a minimum of 200 words will be considered.

Also, this hosting review is limited to a number of popular web hosts so you should check the list before you start writing your review! By this way, this is a limited time promotion so get into action early if you fancy a free $10 GoDaddy gift card.

Win An iPod Touch A Week

Win an iPod a week

My sister tells me that almost everyone in the United States own one model of iPod or another. She, like me, is too cheap to buy her own and is planning to win it. If I could win an iPhone, why can’t she win an iPod touch?

This twitter page is giving away an iPod touch a week and all you need to do to stand a chance to win one of the weekly iPod touch given away is to follow them. So far, it looks like they have given away just one free iPod touch but at this time of writing, there are less than 300 followers only so chances are pretty high if you ask me.

Anyway, it looks to me that this giveaway is only open to residents of the United States. Guess my sister’s in luck!
