The 7th Annual Christmas Sweepstakes will be for three prizes of 2000 pesos each, paid out on December 22, 2015 in Php by a money transfer. Prize amounts may increase between start of Sweepstakes and the drawing date.
Rules are:
(1) All posts on the forum will count as one entry.
(2) If you win and you are a Filipina, then you will be paid the money.
(3) If you win and you are not a Filipina, then the prize will be paid to any charity in the Philippines in your honor, or to any citizen of the Philippines in your honor.
(4) Site Administrator (Michael) will keep track of the number of posts you make on the Forum between September 1, 2015 and December 21, 2015. Cut-off time for entries will be at midnight, December 21, 2015, Central Standard Time in the US. Each 30 word (or more) post will be counted as one entry, and entered under your name. Drawing will be within 24 hours of cutoff time, and winners notified by email and by forum announcement at that time. Payment will be made ASAP after the drawing.
(5) All posts will count as one entry. Multiple posts per day ARE allowed, so if you make ten posts in one day, then you will get ten entries for that day. Any post that is less than 30 words will not be counted, because you need to make a realistic contribution to the forum, and not just be writing a few meaningless, nonsensical words to earn an entry.
(6) Void where prohibited. (which has never been an issue previously)
