Reminder: Artistry Raffle

I had waited for the other Artistry raffle winners to contact me until last Friday, 04 July 2008 (actually till I wrote this post) but only 6 out of the 12 winners did email me with their mailing info. Since it’s like half of the actual number of winners, the 6 people who emailed me will be getting two instead of just one. This way I can finally mail them all out!

I’ll do a separate drawing for the remaining prizes to figure out who gets which.

So, congratulations again to Apple, Nikki Tiu, Tara, Elizabeth, Nica, and Anya for winning! Thanks to all of you for participating!

Dove Get Fresh Photo Contest

DOVE Get Fresh!

First off, it’s important to note that this contest is only open to residents of Australia. However, I just found it really interesting (hence the feature!) cuz of the interface. Love the water thing-y. LOL. I reckon this contest captured my heart cuz I love photography. I also happen to love Dove products, too. Which reminds me, there’s a couple of products I’m planning to do a review on. Stay tune for that.

Anyway, qualified registrants are asked to submit photos that can fall under “cool”, “energise”, or “fresh touch”. Then viewers get to rate the photo. Well, mainly you heart it or you don’t. Hehe.

Fun contest, I must say. Even the $20,000.00 prize isn’t bad at all. LOL.

Go on and get freshed! Submit your photo today!
