Going to the Dogs Giveaway MARATHON Starts Now - Petfinder Contest

Now until Sept 28, 2010, we will be holding a series of giveaways to benefit animal rescue. Read the instructions carefully because this is going to be a doozy.


The Going to the Dogs Giveaway Marathon:
From now through Sept 28, KAMsnaps will be running back-to-back giveaways to encourage participation in voting for the Petfinder Contest. Giveaways are open to everyone, no matter where you live. There will be a KAMsnaps gift certificate prize for each giveaway that anybody can win, regardless of what country you live in. However, jewelry and other physical prizes cannot be sent outside of the US.

Marathon Giveaway #1

• Ends August 9, 2010.
• Open to residents all over the world (non-US residents may win the gift certificate, but we cannot ship the necklace outside of the US unfortunately).

Prizes
The winner of this giveaway will receive a $25 KAMsnaps gift certificate plus a Freshwater Pearl Necklace from www.PearlParadise.com. A certified appraisal certificate comes with the necklace, which has an appraised value of $945.

If the winner of this giveaway lists a referrer, their referrer will also win a $15 KAMsnaps gift certificate.

We will also select a winner for a $15 KAMsnaps gift certificate on every day that I am listed in the top 3 as having received the most votes in the Petfinder contest. Top 3 status will be checked every night at 9PM Pacific Time.








How to Enter

Mandatory entry:
This is the mandatory entry. If you don't do this entry, none of your other entries will count.

Vote for me in the Petfinder World's Best Pet Parent contest. You can use this link to go directly to my page (I'm on the 4th page):

http://www.petfinder.com/best-pet-parent-contest/gallery/finalists?entry_index=0&offset=48&limit=16

You will need to sign up for a Petfinder account if you don't already have one. Once you've signed up, you can vote as many times as you want--just click on the "Refresh" button of your browser (better yet, "F5" on your keyboard -- it's faster) after each vote. Remember, the more times you vote, the better chance I have of winning, which means the more prizes we will give out!

**Please do NOT use macros, scripts, or any other automated programming -- that's against the rules and your votes will be disqualified.** Official rules.

After you've voted, come back to this page and leave a comment with the following:

1- the first 5 characters of your Petfinder login.

2- the number of votes I've received after your vote (see image below).

3- your email address (so we can contact you if you win). To avoid spam, it's best to leave your email in a form similar to: sales at kamsnaps dot com. If you prefer not to leave your address, make sure you are signed in to Blogger and that we can contact you through your user ID.

4- if somebody told you about this giveaway, note them as your referrer and include that person's first name, last initial, and email address (example: Referred by Sean M friendATyahooDOTcom).

Tips on How to Vote:
Using the keyboard as much as possible instead of the mouse will speed up the voting process.

- Use the F5 button to refresh your browser after you've voted.

- If you have several tabs open, use CTRL+TAB to switch to the next tab.

- If you have several browsers open, use ALT+TAB to switch to the next browser.


Additional entries:

- Vote for us 5 more times. Remember to hit the "refresh" button after each vote. Leave a comment with the number of votes I've received after your last vote. There is no limit on how many times you can enter this way. Leave 1 comment per 5 votes.

If you vote lots of times in a roll, you don't have to come back here to leave a comment after every 5 votes. Vote as many times as you want consecutively, then when you're done, come back here and leave 1 comment per 5 votes and write "5 votes" in each comment. For the last comment, leave the vote count and your email. This will save you some time.

- Tweet about this giveaway. 1 comment per day - leave the URL to your tweet in the comment. You may tweet the following:
