Win an Advance Copy of the Book

To encourage participation/comment on the blog, we’ll be running a few contests/raffles/giveaways over the next few months as we write the book. The first one is easy and silly. With the deadline closing tomorrow we’ll soon begin logging , reviewing and categorizing all the submissions. We have a running bet in the office as to how many we’ll receive; I though it might be fun to extend that bet to you as well.

How to enter
Post a comment here with your guess of how many entries we received by the official August 14 Midnight deadline. Posts are moderated so if it doesn’t show up immediately, don’t freak out.

Details
The closest guess wins. If we receive 10 entries and you guess 11 and everyone else guesses 7 you win. It’s not like the Price is Right. Going over the actual number is ok. We’re only counting entries from the open call. We have also reached out to specific people for specific projects for the book. Those won’t be included in this count. In the event of a tie we will pick a winner at random. We will announce the winner and the total entries next Friday (8/21). One guess per person.

What you win
The winner will receive a signed advance copy of the book when it is published early next year. Everyone who enters will be entered to win a grand prize giveaway pack, the contents of which we have not yet decided.

That’s it. Happy guessing.

Oh, and don’t make the exact same guess as someone else. There are a lot of numbers out there. Pick a unique one.
