 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hi everyone. \u00a0I absolutely love the holidays. \u00a0That’s why at Tellest, every year, we’re going to try to do our best to spread the cheer.<\/p>\n

This year, we’re going to start small. \u00a0We’re opening a very simple contest where you can enter to win a $25 electronic gift card to Amazon. \u00a0You can’t go wrong with that – it’s like we\u00a0just gave you a fail-safe gift!<\/p>\n

So, here are the rules of this contest:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. What do I do?<\/em> \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tell us your favorite thing about Tellest. \u00a0It can be a particular piece of art, or a book you really enjoyed. \u00a0It can be a character that speaks to you. \u00a0There are no limits, all you have to do is tell us your favorite Tellest thing before 12:01 AM\u00a0on Christmas Day (EST)!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0How do I enter?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s easy! \u00a0All you have to do is shoot us an email! \u00a0In the menu bar, there is a button that you can hover over, labeled “Connect” – you can either click that, or select “Contact Us” from the drop down menu. \u00a0Let us know your preferred email address when you send us your favorite thing. \u00a0That’ll give us an idea of how to reach you if you win!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Bonus Entries!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We want to give our biggest fans a little boost for being so helpful to us this first big year. \u00a0So we’re giving anyone who is a part of our newsletter \/ mailing list an extra entry. \u00a0And, if you want to join the mailing list before you enter this contest, you’ll totally qualify. \u00a0You can find a Newsletter widget on the sidebar, or you can go to that “Connect” button in the menu bar to see the “Tellest Newsletter” in the drop down.<\/p>\n

But that’s not all. \u00a0We’ve had a couple of other big supporters in the past year. \u00a0People who have done a considerable amount of work helping to make us look good. \u00a0These are our Kickstarter backers and our patrons over at Patreon. \u00a0If you’re one of these, you get\u00a0another<\/em> boost in the form of a bonus entry. \u00a0And just like the newsletter, it’s not too late to join until the contest is over! \u00a0While the Kickstarter is over, our campaign at Patreon is ongoing. \u00a0You can join it for as little as one penny a month! \u00a0Under that “Connect” button, you can see the link for our Patreon campaign.<\/p>\n

In both of these cases, make sure when you send us your entry email that you let us know what your username is on Kickstarter or Patreon, so we can easily identify you!<\/p>\n

Note: You must send an email as per item number 2 to qualify. \u00a0You are not automatically entered just for being on the mailing list or being a kickstarter backer or patron.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4.\u00a0The Drawing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Between Christmas Day and 11:59 PM on the 26th of December (EST), we will plug all of the entrants into a spreadsheet, making sure that bonus entries are considered as well. \u00a0We’ll use a\u00a0random number function to determine who our winner is, and announce it on the website in a follow-up to this post. \u00a0After that, we’ll talk to the winner about where best to send their gift card!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If there are any questions at all about this contest, let us know. \u00a0We’ll try to be as transparent as possible with everything. \u00a0We just want to make sure everyone has a good time with it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
