Official BransforumFest Scholarship Contest!!

Post by dios4vida » January 9th, 2012, 12:14 pm

It's here! It's here!

The 2012 BransforumFest is right around the corner! We know it can be a bear scraping up enough cash to pay for flights, hotels, souveniers, and vente iced mocha double shot no whips from Starbucks. So, we're offering a SCHOLARSHIP to one lucky Bransforumer!!

The prize will be at least $110 (more if additional donations are received). That's almost half of the hotel cost!

A few things before we begin the contest:

-Please don't enter if this money won't help you make it to Vegas. We want to make sure this goes to the cost of the retreat and not just into someone's bank account.
-If you have little trouble affording the BransforumFest, please reconsider entering. There are people who want to come but just can't afford it on their own.
-Only one entry per person. Let's keep this fair.

So, if you want to enter to win the BransforumFest Scholarship, leave a comment in this thread BEFORE JANUARY 23. I'll use a random number generator to select the winning comment the morning of January 23rd (mountain standard time). I won't use anything other than the number generator to determine a winner, but you'll get extra props for creative entries.

If you would like to donate to the BransforumFest Scholarship pool, PM me. I'll get you the information you need to contribute. We'd be thrilled to accept more contributions, the more we can collect the better this contest will be!

And...GO!!

Ok, I was waiting for others in deeper need to speak up on this one, because I know I will make it to Vegas. Since it seems no one could make it with the extra one hundred, well, I shamelessly put my name on the scolarship list! And I promise, all the money will go straight to the Vegas fund, and help me enjoy the trip fully. :) I don't know who else put money in the fund, but you guys are awesome.

Well, today is the day!! Since we only had two entrants, I forewent the random number generator and did a coin-flip. Heads was Claudie (first entry), tails was Cookie (second entry). And now, without delay, the winner is...

<drumroll>

I'll be emailing you shortly for the details on how to get you your winnings. :)

Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2012 BransforumFest Scholarship!!
