Tales From the Timeout Corner Video Contest!

TALES FROM THE TIMEOUT CORNER VIDEO CONTEST
Fess up! We’ve all been there. Timeout. And to celebrate my latest picture book 
TIME OUT FOR MONSTERS! 
(Disney Hyperion – on shelves 7/31/12) 
tell me your timeout tales and have a chance to win great prizes.

Here’s how it works:

  • Take a video – under 2 minutes – of your kid, your spouse, your pet, your parents, your teacher — anyone — in the timeout corner doing what they do or telling us how they got there in the first place. Be creative but keep it clean.
  • Post it on YouTube and send me the link. I’ll accept your links as soon as they’re ready, up through 8/31/12.
  • Then, beginning 8/1/12, I’ll post the videos on this blog, in the order in which they came/come in. I reserve the right to exclude any videos which I deem inappropriate or not in the kid-friendly spirit of my books. Also, I won’t post any videos of children screaming or crying. My purpose, after all, is to have fun.
  • Once your video is posted here, get all your friends to stop by and comment on your video blog post and, if you’re up for a little competition, tell them to submit videos too.
  • Enter as many videos as you like.

The videos with the five highest number of unique commenters (must supply name and e-mail address) prior to September 1st (comments counted through 11:59 P.M. Mountain Time, 8/31/12) will win:

  • 1st Prize – $100 gift card for Amazon or the online bookseller of your choice, a signed copy of TIME OUT FOR MONSTERS and a monster bag of goodies.
  • 2nd-5th – Autographed copy of TIME OUT FOR MONSTERS!

So the sooner you enter, the more time you’ll have to gather voters!

See you in the corner!

    LOL. Cute little girl. I kept worrying that she was going to fall off the steps. Looking forward to seeing other time out videos.
