Fantasy Road Trip Contest!

We found out about this really cool contest with three of our favorite authors and just had to share it with you!

Listening Library is having a contest to win an iPod Touch and a collection of signed audiobooks!!! Hooked already? Here's the brief details, but you can find more on the contest site: 

Authors Involved:

• Libba Bray- The Gemma Doyle Trilogy
• Tamora Pierce-  the Beka Cooper series (though she's also written many others)
• Rick Riordan- the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

Some of the details:

• You have to be between 13-18  years old. 
• In a video between 30 seconds and 5 minutes answer the question “If you could go on a road trip with a character from your favorite audio series, where would you go?  What would you do along the way?  How would you travel?” Though as a catch you have to include a reference to Florida, a reference to audiobooks, and a clip of dialogue from your chosen audio (from the above three authors) that can be downloaded on the contest site.
• Submit the video between June 1st and August 17th. 

 So visit www.fantasyroadtripcontest.com for more information and to submit your video! Good luck and have fun!

Rick Riordan Contest!

This Contest is Closed

All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim. Kronos’s army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan’s power only grows. While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it’s up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time in The Last Olympian.

To honor the conclusion of this epic series, Books & Books will be hosting an author event at the Coral Gables Congregational Church. Where author Rick Riordan will read, and sign books for admiring fans. But as the final preparations are installed for the weekend's event, we realized we forgot the most important part. We don't have anyone to introduce Rick!

Normally one of us would gladly do it, but we figured, hey why not let the fans give Rick a proper intro, along with a FREE copy of The Last Olympian to the chosen winner.

Again however, this contest will be limited to those who will be able to attend the event.

So how about we get straight to the rules? To enter, just write up a short intro, which you would use to introduce the author. Please no longer than 4 minutes.

.:Rules:.

• Write an intro to introduce Rick Riordan. 4 minutes max.
  
• E-mail entry to yathenaeum@yahoo.com
• You must be present at the event on May 17th.
  
• Contestants are limited to 1 entry
  
• Deadline is Friday, May 15th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern

.:Prizes:.
1 entrant will receive:

• 1: Chance to introduce Rick Riordan at The Last Olympian signing on May 17th.
• 1: Copy of The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
  

Winners will be chosen on Friday, May 15th at 8:00 p.m. and announced shortly after.
