But, hey folks….I’m already seeing quit a few multiple entries…?
we are discussing it in the forum… evidently the one entry rule wasn’t seen or wasn’t up right away. some have begun to pull the tag out of their keywords so the binders will drop out, but some are still in there with many duplicates
October 19, 2009 at 8:42 pm |
I`m excited to be a part of this contest.
I have a question, have the rules changed about the number of entries one can submit, as Ive noticed there are a few peeps with a lot more than one entry.
Can`t wait to get started!
October 19, 2009 at 9:09 pm |
I submitted. ZomG!!! I have never done a contest before. *gulp* But I don’t see it in the submitted books. Does it take time?
October 19, 2009 at 9:15 pm |
*blushy* In my excitment, I meant to include: Good luck to everyone who does enter. I am sure there will be a flurry of activity!!!
October 19, 2009 at 9:20 pm |
Binder design submitted. The competition is already TOUGH – how marvelous! I’m truly sorry that this is restricted to USA only as there are many Zazzlers outside USA with incredible talent. My entry can be seen at http://www.zazzle.com/recipe_for_a_happy_life_binder-127851773440305430. Thank you, Zazzle – what fun!

Here’s a link to my design for a cookbook with light, healthy recipes. I am putting together a cookbook for my family for Christmas with lighter versions of our favorite recipes anyway, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to design it now and enter it in the contest. I left an area on the back for writing a personal note to the people I’m giving my cookbook to. My grandfather always said that you never give someone a book without writing in it, so I figured I’d build that into my design. Enjoy!

clublaugh, Thanks for the tip! I did the same thing, redesign + resubmit. I realized after looking ni the gallery, that I’d put a 2″ spine on a 1″ binder. (Gotta stop working in the dark)
I don’t know if I’ll be disqualified from the contest– (hope not!) –but at least the design has integrity now! :^)

Here’s my entry….just made it in by the skin of my teeth! (That’s what happens when you have a very busy one-year-old!)
The images on this recipe binder include a whisk, a bowl, and lots of puzzle pieces with images of various ingredients. With your recipes, these “pieces” come together to make some very tasty dishes…or shall we say “tasty pieces”!

The rules say only one entry per person, but as I’m looking through the entries, I see several people who have submitted more than one! What? I had the hardest time deciding between two of my binders. If it turns out that more than one entry is actually allowed, I’m going to be so bummed that I didn’t just enter both!

Lets hope that Zazzle is watching out for that and makes everyone stick by the rules.

I would have entered more ideas as well! I wish Zazzle would have stated the rules more clearly to say that we could enter more. I didn’t want to break the rules and be disqualified for entering more than one like other people did. Not fair… oh well

Erica, only one is allowed:
Contest Rules:
1. You may only submit one entry for this Recipe Binder Contest
The ones you see that have submitted more than one are due to two reasons:
1- The binders were submitted before rules were clearly in place (at least that is what I read in the Forums)
2- Lots of people clearly do not read rules or abide by them when/if they do

Erica – those people who submitted more than one will only have the first submission counted. Submitting several doesn’t increase the chance of winning. I had 6 until I saw we could only do one, so I unmarked all of my other submissions and left just one.

Erica,
they choose the first design submitted; so all other extra entries are disqualified. The angst you had over choosing the “right one” was in a good cause. ;^)

Hi everyone, I am new to Zazzle but I did enter this contest, Has anyone heard anything? Was I suppose to leave a link here for my submission? I don’t think I read anything about that in the rules?
Well Good Luck Everyone You all have some Amazing Designs!!! I’m glad I’m not a Judge!!

Hi Tamera – No, you didn’t have to leave a link on this blog, it only helped to drive traffic to your binder. But Avery links to all the entries anyway. They still have not posted, according to the rules. We are all anxiously waiting.
As long as you had the code in your tags, you are fine. I’m glad to not be a judge either.
