We have some very exciting news to share!
Ddrops Company will be sponsoring 4 Canadian Mom bloggers’ entry fee to Blissdom Canada 2011.
There are so many wonderful Canadian Mom bloggers out there that it is impossible for us to pick which 4 to sponsor. Therefore, we decided to make a contest out of it, and our blog readers will have an opportunity to vote for the Moms that they think should win the sponsorship.
Who is eligible for the contest:
1) You must currently reside in Canada
2) You must be female and 18 years or older
3) You must be a mother with a blog that covers topics related to children and/or families
4) You must have at least 10 entries in your blog, and your first blog post must be dated at least June 2010 or earlier
5) You are not eligible to enter the contest if you are employed by an organization that manufactures, sells or markets supplements. This applies to other similar conflicts of interest. IMPORTANT NOTE: This does not apply to bloggers who have reviewed or posted about other supplements on their site or social networks. Of course they may enter the contest.
How to enter the contest:
1) Write a short essay about how Mom bloggers can have a positive impact on the health of Canadians. Your focus can be either children and/or families in general, whichever best suits your blog’s focus. The article should contain 500 words or less. The article can be written in English or French.
2) In your blog article, make sure to let us know your Twitter username and your FaceBook fan page (or profile if you use it for business purposes). If you would like to let us know where we can find you on other networks such as LinkedIn, StumbleUpon, Delicious, YouTube, or any Mommy online networs that you use regularly, please include it in your post.
3) Post your article on your blog and send us the URL of the blog post. You can send the URL to @BabyDddrops via Twitter. Include the hashtag #DdropsBliss in your tweets related to the contest or the Ddrops sponsorship in general. You can also notify us on our FaceBook page. And if you really want to get our attention, feel free to do both.
4) Entries (blog post + notification to us of URL either via Twitter and/or FaceBook) must be submitted by Sunday February 20th 2011, by 11:59 pm E.S.T.
How to vote for the Canadian Mom blogger that you think best addressed the question in her blog:
1) Ddrops Company will write a blog post and link to all the essays that were submitted to us and we will post this URL on both our Twitter account (using hashtag #DdropsBliss) and on our FaceBook pages (Ddrops and BabyDdrops pages). We plan to post and publish this by Friday February 25th.
2) We will then collect the votes in the comments section of our blog post with all the links to the essays. Each person can vote for up to 2 bloggers, but can only vote for each once. NOTE: Votes must be in the comments section of the Ddrops blog post, not the bloggers’ blog. We will post the link to the blog post in question on February 25th.
3) Voting can take place until Friday March 11th, 11:59 pm E.S.T.
4) Votes will be tallied. Votes in which there is a duplicate name or duplicate e-mail address will be removed from the tally. In a situation where a tie exists, we will use random.org to select a winner.
5) Winners will be announced on Twitter and FaceBook on Monday March 21st.
6) Winners will need to confirm that they will indeed be attending Blissdom Canada 2011.
7) The winners must use the sponsorship for themselves. It cannot be passed on to somebody else.
If any of the winners cannot attend for some reason, Ddrops Company will then sponsor the next runner-up in the contest, assuming tickets are still available for the conference.
9) Entry posts that include inappropriate content will be removed from the contest.
What is the prize:
1) The winners will be reimbursed for their registration to Blissdom Canada 2011. Winners are responsible for registering for Blissdom Canada themselves. Ddrops Company will reimburse the winners upon proof of registration for the event. The winners are responsible for their travel, hotel, food and other expenses.
2) The winners will also receive a $25 gift certificate to be used for the purchase of Ddrops products (see details below)
What does Ddrops Company expect of the winning bloggers:
Try Ddrops products, and get your family members to try it as well. It’s on us. The winners will receive a $25 gift certificate for the purchase of Ddrops products. As winners of the Ddrops Blissdom Canada contest, we expect you to have an opportunity to form an opinion of our products. The winners’ honest opinions of our products will be respected, whatever it may be. Their opinion will not change their status as a winner of the contest.
Tell us what you think of this contest. Will you be entering?
There is no scientific evidence that suggests that wine increases vitamin D absorption either from oral ingestion of a vitamin D supplement or from the manufacturing of vitamin D in skin when exposed to UVB rays from the sun or other appropriate light sources. Vitamin D is absorbed with fats in food so drinking wine with a good meal that has some fat may aid vitamin D absorption. This applies to any fat soluble vitamin.
