“Read ’em All” 2010 Finalists Challenge and Contest

LDSWBR wants to give you a $100 Amazon gift card.

In honor of the recently announced 2010 Whitney Award finalists, LDS Women’s Book Review is sponsoring a “Read ’em All” 2010 Finalists Challenge for members of the Whitney Academy, as well as a Bonus Challenge for readers who are not part of the Whitney Academy but are still interested in reading all 2010 Whitney Award finalists.

In order to vote for Best Novel of the Year, Whitney Academy members must read all 35 finalists. That is no small task. LDSWBR is sponsoring the “Read ’em All” 2010 Finalists Challenge to encourage as many Whitney Academy members as possible to read all the finalists and vote for Best Novel of the Year.

To accept the “Read ’em All” 2010 Finalists Challenge, register on the LDS Women’s Book Review blog. We will then send you the code to add a challenge button to the sidebar of your blog or website. After reading all 35 finalists, return to the LDS Women’s Book Review blog, submit the “Read ’em All” 2010 Finalists Challenge completion form, and you’ll be entered to win a $100 Amazon gift card. For those who are not members of the Whitney Academy, register for and complete the Bonus Challenge and you will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card.

Are you up for the Challenge?

We know there are many who support the Whitney Awards program as much as we do. If you would like to help sponsor additional bookseller gift card prizes and be listed as a Challenge Sponsor, please contact us at ldswbr(at)gmail(dot)com. At this time we are unable to accept publishers or finalists as sponsors.
