Contest 30 days from over

2010-08-02T08:23:00.000-07:00

Today is August 2nd 2010 and we are 30 days from the end of the iPad giveaway. There seems to be some confusion about what makes a valid entry. So here are a few tips.

You enter the contest by uploading a photo to our website. There is a link there named Enter 2 Win. USE IT.

The photo MUST contain TEXT. -it can be written, displayed, worn, or otherwise accidentally there, but it MUST CONTAIN TEXT.

This is a VALID ENTRY.

The winner will be drawn at RANDOM from Valid Entries on Sept.2nd, 2010. We highly suggest that you look at the valid entries, compared to the invalid entries if you are confused.

The winner will be notified by email and announced on our web site and blog on 9/2/2010.

This is an INVALID ENTRY

If the winner does not acknowledge and accept their prize (by having given bad contact information or being unwilling to provide a valid shipping address . . hey it happens) we will drawn another winner from those valid entries.

SO ENTER TODAY.
Enter EVERYDAY (one per day per person and we recognize -and delete- entries from the same person with different email addresses, so don't bother)

But you can't win if you don't enter. AND you can't win if you don't put some sort of text on your photo entry!!!!

Happy July 4th There is still time to Win the iPad

Happy Birthday AMERICA.

Sorry it's been a while since we posted. I know there are only 2 followers ;) but there are hundreds of folks who visit our website TheTEXTupProject.com and many of those are entering. There is a little problem with a lot of the entires however. Many do Not contain TEXT.

People. Your photo entry MUST CONTAIN TEXT to be valid. I'm thinking of giving away another 'something' that will include all of the invalid entries, just because they tried. But in order to be a valid entry into the iPad giveaway (ends 9/2/2010) you must upload a photo that contains TEXT.

Your text can be handwritten, computer generated, or yes of course a photo of your iPhone or iPod displaying text using our FREE Text Up App. No purchase or download is necessary to enter, and it won't increase your chances of winning if you do use our app, but we just appreciate it a LOT.

So enter today and TELL YOUR FRIENDS.

thanks, Kay Zahn
and Joe Lucia
