#AdventPhotoADay Contest!!

Welcome to my first blog contest!! This Advent I am hosting an Advent Contest. It is a Photo Contest that will take place on Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. If you would like to be added to the community Pinterest board just leave your pinterest username in the comments or email me at Bethannesbest at gmail.com and I will add you.

The contest will begin on Saturday, December 1st. Advent doesn’t officially start till Dec 2nd but I think it will be easier to keep track if the days of the month and contest are the same number. The list was compiled between several Advent Reflection books that are based on the daily readings, special holy days, and awesome ideas that I and the wonderful #CathSorority ladies came up with. Each week (Sunday – Saturday) is a different color in the photo to help sort the days better. At the end of each week I will be picking a winner of the most creative photo and they will win a small prize for participating. So the more days you participate the more chances you have to win!

All you have to do is take a photo of that days theme and either tweet it, instagram it, or pin it using the hashtag #AdventPhotoADay and the day number the photo goes with. You will also be able to post the photos to your blog and add your photo to the linky I will post on my blog, or upload it to my facebook page. I hope I have included enough mediums so that everyone can participate!!

 

If you have any  questions of what any of the days are please let me know and I will try and better explain them below.
