Bugsby's Great Adventure Blogging Contest: Tons of Prizes!

Rating: 5 after 2 votes

VTech, proud parents of the newly launched Bugsby Reading System (you might have heard of it through our RAMBO alert last week) is hosting Bugsby’s Great Adventures, an interactive contest that allows you and your child to write your own Bugsby story together. Know what’s even cooler? Three stories will be chosen for future publication – your child’s could be one of them!

VTech and TwitterMoms wants to make sure you and your child have a chance to get your story published – so we are giving you another chance to win a prize on TwitterMoms.

How It Works:
To participate, visit http://www.vtechkids.com/bugsby and create your own adventure with your child. Then, write a post about your experience you had with your child while creating you personal Bugsby’s Great Adventure story on your blog – including the link to your personalized story. How did your child use his or her imagination? What was the best or most memorable part of the experience? Why do you think your child’s story should be published? Feel free to upload images, photos or video of your experience to better share your experience!

Then return to this discussion page, post a comment below summarizing your blog post, and include an active link directing us to your blog entry. The deadline to enter is August 25th, 2009. Winners will be contacted the week of August 31.

Of course, don’t forget to promote your child’s story by using the share functionality on the contest page http://www.vtechkids.com/bugsby:

-- Send the link out to your friends and family through Facebook and Twitter encouraging them to vote for your child’s story.

-- Post still frames of your child’s story to the Flickr gallery.

-- Post your personalized blog sticker on your blog and encourage your readers to vote for your child’s story: http://www.vtechkids.com/bugsby

So, what do you win?
-- The first five moms to post will receive Bugsby reading system which includes a pen and story book plus an additional book featuring a well-known kids’ favorite character. [A $45 value]

-- 50 moms will be randomly selected to win a 50% off coupon towards the purchase of the Bugsby Reading System – to be purchased here: http://www.vtechkids.com/bugsby. [A $15 value]

-- The mom with the most comments on her blog in response to her Bugsby post will receive the grand prize of a new Bugsby and all 9 the available books that accompany it. [A $150 value]

This is a great way to keep your child entertained and still learning over the llloonnggg stretch of summer! Help Bugsby find his newest adventure today!

I did post about our storycreating experience though: http://c2cmom.typepad.com/c2c_mom/2009/08/bugsbys-great-adventures-...; ▶ Reply to This
