I’m going to be changing how I do contest posts – now that I can add separate pages to my site, I think I’m going to put up a ‘Contests’ page and try to keep it updated on a more regular basis than just once a week, so nobody misses out on contests that start and end mid-week. I’ll still post the weekly round-up as well, at least for now, until I see how that works out.

So here is this week’s contest round-up!

I know that Mother’s Day is still a ways off yet, but you might want to start thinking about a special mom that you could nominate in the America’s Favorite Mom celebration, sponsored by Teleflora, NBC and Redbook Magazine. On www.americasfavoritemom.com, you can nominate mothers to win several prestigious awards by simply uploading videos, favorite photos or essay testimonials. You can nominate your own mom or any mom, and the top 15 nominees will appear on NBC’s “The Today Show” throughout the week before Mother’s Day. Viewers will then have the chance to vote for their favorite mom at the end of each show. The winning mom from each day of the week will be featured on a one-hour primetime NBC television special airing on Mother’s Day, May 11, 2008. On the special, “America’s Favorite Mom” will be crowned, a rose will be named in her honor and she will also receive thousands of dollars in cash and prizes (including an 18k gold heart-shaped America’s Favorite Mom pendant trimmed with dazzling diamonds).

As usual, if you know of a contest or giveaway that I missed, just e-mail me or leave a comment below and I’ll add it in! Enjoy and good luck!
