Remember a few days ago I said we have 4 extra prizes for our contests? Well, in the first bonus contest, I invited you to share your story and stand a chance to win a prize. Now, in the second bonus contest, I am inviting you to design (and share) Pink for October buttons/badges/banners and you will stand a chance to win a prize! :D

It is very easy to participate — All you need to do is design a Pink for October button or badge or banner and email it to me. OK, OK, you may send as many of your designs to me as you like. I will upload your designs onto the Downloads page (I know that sounds a little confusing but I am sure you’re all smart people) so that others can view and put them up on their blogs or websites.

On Oct 31st, I will randomly pick one design, and the lucky winner will win one of these prizes. It’s that easy! :D

Good luck!

Contest: Self breast exam

Filed under: Breast Cancer,The Event — Tags: — Pelf Nyok @ 20:00

This is the third in a series of eight a la photo hunt contests that will be held here on Pink for October, in an attempt to get more people involved during the Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The word (or phrase, in this case) for today is SELF BREAST EXAM.

That’s right. Go look for a picture, or take one if you can, that best describes a self breast exam, obvious or otherwise. But please make sure that your picture is work-safe and children-safe (we hope to keep this contest and website friendly, and not adult-oriented). Then write a description about it on your blog and don’t forget to leave me a comment in the comments section! If you didn’t leave me a comment and your link, I wouldn’t know that you have participated, and most of all, your name will not be in the draw! Again, be creative and think out of the box :D

The comments section for this post will be closed at 11:59 pm on Sunday, Oct 12th, and the next word will be announced at 12 am on Monday, Oct 13th (all times in GMT). Also, I suggest that you subscribe to the Pink for October feed to avoid missing any updates and contests! Please visit the contest page and the sponsors page for more information.

Share your story and win a prize

Filed under: Breast Cancer,The Event — Tags: — Pelf Nyok @ 11:50

Remember I said we have 4 extra prizes for our contests? I have squeezed whatever little creative juice that I have and miraculously come up with 4 additional contests, and this is one of them.

Here’s what you need to do to win a prize — Share your story.

There is a SHARE YOUR STORY segment where you can share a true story, or encourage your friend / family / neighbour / colleague to share theirs.

All you need to do is register for an account, log in, write your story and Matthew will spell-and-grammar-check your story before hitting the PUBLISH button. Then you wait.

On Oct 31st, I will randomly pick one story that is published this year, and the lucky winner will win one of these prizes. It’s that easy! :D

If you would like some ideas on how to begin writing your stories, these are some that have been shared this year:

My blind grandson found my cancer by Shelly Montgomery
My Nana by Dawn
My Story by FL Hopkins
How do you define a breast cancer survivor? by Dana P.

Good luck! :D
