Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories Giveaway

June 15, 2009

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Over the past seven years, Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories has given away more than 35 million children’s books by distributing them free inside cereal boxes and has donated nearly $3 million to First Book, their non-profit partner, which provides books to children from low-income families.

In addition to encouraging children to read, Cheerios is looking for anyone interested in writing children’s books. Now in its third year, the Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories New Author Contest is a way to encourage previously unpublished, up-and-coming children’s book authors and to continue to nurture a love of reading. Entries are being accepted March 16 through July 15, 2009 and will be judged on appropriate story and content for children ages 3-8, emotional connection, writing quality, uniqueness, and read-aloud potential. More details on the contest can be found at www.spoonfulofstoriescontest.com.

One of my lucky readers will win a Spoonfuls of Stories gift set which includes a copy of the “The Great Dog Wash” as well as three other books from the Spoonfuls library. Here’s how:

Tell me in the comments your favorite childhood book.
The contest will run until Sunday, June 21th at 11:59 pm central. The winner will be selected through random.org, contacted by e-mail, and listed on this post. Giveaway open to US winners only.
Please leave a valid e-mail address or other way to contact you! If the winner hasn’t responded within 3 days, an alternate winner will be chosen by random.org
If you’d like extra entries, you can:

Subscribe to my RSS feed or subscribe via e-mail – leave me a separate comment to let me know.
Mention this contest on your blog with a link back to this post, and leave a separate comment with the link to your post so I can find it.
Either Twitter about, ‘Stumble’, ‘Digg’ or ‘Kirtsy’ this post – leave me a separate comment with your username at whichever site(s) you chose (one extra entry per method).

This giveaway is brought to you by MyBlogSpark.
