Just want to share my "try and try until you succeed" experience
After three entries, I finally won in the joint contest of Philippine Star and National Bookstore "My Favorite Book" Contest.
My entry "What to Expect When She's Expecting" was published yesterday (June 19) and I want to thank them for picking my entry. I consider it as a Father's Day gift from God. Actually, I already got the best gift a father can ever have--- my son Charles.
Well, I was really hoping to win rather than expecting since my entry is about fatherhood. And it did! Aside form the Php 5000 worth of NBS GC that I won, I also have a chance to win in the Top 8 entries to be awarded at the end of the year. Top 3 entries will receive Php 50,000, Php 30,000 and Php 20,000 in cash and prizes while the other five honorable mention will get Php 5,000 each. All Top 8 winners will also get a cellphone each courtesy of Globe Handyphone.
You to can win in this contest that will run until December 26, 2010. Visit Philippine Star for the complete mechanics.
hi! i am actually interested with this contest. I was just a little confused with the mechanics. Are contestants required to send a printed copy of their essay plus a CD and mail it through snail mail? Or could they just send an email because they provided an email address where entries can be sent? Your replay will be much appreciated! And congratulations! :)

ReplyDeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply but anyways... you need not send them a CD if you'll send it via email :-)
Thanks for visiting my site and I hope to read your entry in Philstar soon.
last question! haha how did you know you won? Did they onotify you before posting it on the paper or you found it out that Sunday? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThey will not notify you if you won or not so you really need to monitor it every Sunday... but actually you can do it naman online since philstar.com carries all winning entries so no need naman to buy talaga the Sunday issue :-)
