By giving away 200 prizes instead.
And not only that, I'm going to give $1 to World Vision, an international charity that aids those in need, for every entry (up to 1,000 entries).
But wait. I'm getting ahead of myself.
First, let me show you the kinds of prizes up for grabs.
Or, actually, let's let YouTube show you...
The video gives you a sample of what's going on this month, but here it is in a little more detail:
200 Prize Giveaway!
You guys. There's a kitchen table under there.
Some prizes are even handmade!
She also made some custom bookmarks and star earrings!
(And remember: if you order from her store, use the code STARS for a discount!)
So. Pretty.
Also, some of you might recall that the character of Harley was based on a real student of mine, an artist herself who painted a koi for my classroom.
Her name is Charly White, and she agreed to help me out with my contest this year by contributing a very special painting: a koi fish by the original "Harley."
I've turned her painting into a limited edition print, and will be giving away 100 numbered copies of the print to this giveaway.
So, that said, let's go into a little more detail about these prizes!

FIFTY WINNERS WILL GET:

One Hundred Postcards:
Look, I know it's a bit lame to say that 100 prizes will be postcards, but dude.
They're shiny.
Seriously.
That Godspeed logo? Silver.
These are some awesome postcards.
So, how do you win all this awesome?
At the bottom of this post, there's a Google form. All you have to do is fill it out with your address. Then, at the end of the giveaway, I'm going to plug in all the addresses into my label maker over there, and the label maker is going to spit out addresses and I'm slapping them on the packages. And that's it.
This is a giveaway, not a contest. I just want to give you guys stuff. So you don't have to do anything extra or join on Facebook or follow me or spread the word or anything (although I'd appreciate it if you did). Your fate is in the hands of my label maker.
However, please do spread the word. It's not a requirement, but I would really appreciate it if you did because I will be giving $1 to World Vision for every entry (up to 1,000). World Vision is a really worthy charity, helping families and children in both the US and across the world. I encourage you to check the link out and think about donating yourself--but either way, I would also appreciate you telling other people about this giveaway, because the more entries I get, the more I'm adding to my annual donation to World Vision.
You can spread the word in several ways:
You could blog about it. Maybe include the video above? It's easy to share. Might I suggest including the graphic? I've included the HTML code for it, too:
Or you could tweet:
Tweet
Also: thank you to my publisher, Penguin/Razorbill! They donated a ton of the prizes above, including 20 paperbacks, all the ARCs, and the water bottles. If you want, I know they'd appreciate it if you followed on Facebook or Twitter. Again: not a requirement, just a way to thank the contributors of the prizes.

It is so truly fantastic that you have chosen not only to bless your readers, but to also donate to a wonderful cause! I've been sponsoring a child through Compassion International and it has been amazing getting to write my child and read her letters about her life. Even if it means I have to check your book out of the library every time I wish to reread it, it's been worth it!
((although winning copies of your books WOULD be EPIC.))
Ow wow! this is an amazing giveaway!
Thank you for this amazing giveaway! *fingers crossed*

The astronaut ice cream.
I could seriously eat it every day. I even asked for some for Christmas.
So So good.
Some prizes are even handmade!
Remember Jennie, kamagra
who made the charm bracelets earlier this year?
She also made some custom bookmarks and star earrings!
(And remember: if you order from her store, use the code STARS for a discount!)
You are made of awesome - and what a great use of a labelmaker! :) All the best to your charity!
And the wonderful thing is that there is a systematic response you can give to every single question they can throw at you. You just have to know how to formulate it. I've seen all of these, and never fail to be surprised and impressed when I come across a new way to show off as a graphic designer in something as formal as a resume. After the process the resumes are short listed and the manager gets the list of superior and appropriate resumes, the manager may directly conduct the rounds for interview. Extreme Career Change when someone shifts to a new career with no connection to what they were doing before. However, management consulting jobs in smaller firms will require that you specialize in an area that is similar or closely complementary to what that firm specializes in.
