I just saw this new happening when I was out visiting this morning:
Spring Blog Carnival! It's a big party- Sign up today!:
What it is:
May 1st-8th there's going to be a big party! A way to celebrate Spring, and books, and blogging~ all at the same time! This fun event is being hosted by Lori at Pure Imagination, Angela at Reading Angel, Mary at The Book Swarm and Candace at Candace’s Book Blog.
What you do:
The way you get involved is by having a giveaway. Like a Giveaway blog hop you can all host contests! But it's different because we have booths for you to enter into.
Booths:
Lori has the Kissing Booth so if your giving away Romance books you enter into her linky. Angela has the Haunted House so if your giving away Paranormals you enter into her linky. Mary has Rollercoasters so if your giving away a contemporary book you enter into her linky. (Mary’s post isn’t up yet, but please still click the Rollercoaster option on the form and we will add your info into the linky!) And Candace is holding the Food Court so if you’re giving away Giftcards (or books of winners choice from TBD) then you enter into the linky I have here (at the bottom of this post)!
There’s MORE!
But it's not only about the giveaways, we're also going to have challenges going on related to our section. Since I'm holding the food court I'll have a challenge that fits the theme.
What you do:
To participate, fill out the form (it's the same one on ALL our blogs!). Then go to the appropriate blog to enter in your link (these are NOT the same!). Are you not sure which one? Maybe your giving away a variety of books? Well, pick one and don't stress it 🙂 We're not too formal, but we want things to be as organized as possible.
RULZ:
Your giveaway needs to be up by the morning of the 1st of May (posting at midnight is the best!) or you will be erased from the linky list. Your giveaway needs to be book related, but can be of your choice and of any value. You must display the Spring Carnival Button in your giveaway, and please put it on your sidebar to advertise as well as a reminder to yourself.
Your giveaway must last until midnight of May 8th. Have questions? Email Candace at candace_redinger (at)yahoo(dot)com
What a fun idea. And seriously how cute is that button/pink tent!?
Yeah, except I'm starting to think I join just so I can port the buttons on my blog…
Thanks for the heads up Gina. I just entered my link for the kissing booth. LOL. I get sooo many hits from those big giveaway hops. Even though I don't make following a requirement for my giveaway, I usually pick up a couple dozen followers too. It's worth it for giving away a couple of books or a small gift card.
Oh my gosh. How charming is that???!! ^_^
Looks fun!!! I hope you have fun with it! Good luck Gina!!
