The Christmas in July Sweepstakes this year will be for three prizes. First prize is 5,000 pesos. Second and third prizes are 2,500 pesos each, all to be paid out on July 25, 2015 in Php by a MoneyGram money transfer.
Rules are:
(1) All posts (except "cut and paste" entries) 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 the Philippine charity or citizen of your choice.
(4) A Site Administrator will keep track of the number of posts you make on the Forum between April 8 and July 24, 2015. Cut-off time will be at midnight, 7/24/15 at 12 PM Central Standard Time (US). Each 30 word (or more) post will be counted as one entry, and entered under your name. Drawing will be within 48 hours of cutoff time, and winners notified by email and by forum announcement at that time. Payment will be made ASAP.
(5) All posts (except "cut and paste" entries) 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. Cut and paste entries will not be counted.
(6) Void where prohibited. (which has never been an issue previously)
Good luck to all participants!
