A Haunted Giveaway.
It's been a few days since my meeting with Charles Bizarro. I'm not sure even now that it has fully sunken in what transpired that evening. Let's face it, it was more like a scene from a horror flick than a business engagement. Never-the-less, I have no desire to get on his bad side. Better safe than sorry is a good motto, especially, in this case. That leaves me with a giveaway to create. Well, actually two giveaways. Here goes nothing; THE PRIZES Here is what I am being offered by Bizarro to give away. Codes to his ticket site that when inputted will give you two (2) tickets to Bizarro's Factory of Fear located in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. You can pick from all dates they are open in the 2016 season. Value per prize is a maximum of $30.00. Grand Prize VIP pass for the winner plus ten (10) friends (that's 11 tickets altogether) for a special haunted evening to take place on any evening the Haunt is not regularly scheduled to be open. Sorry it cannot be on Halloween. You will need to book the date as soon as possible (by September 29th at the latest). Here's what you get: entrance to the haunt and all attractions. A spfx makeup demo A private ghost tour of the property (I have been informed of multiple deaths have occurred throughout the history of the property) A campfire with spooky stories (hot chocolate and smores included) These VIP Passes are valued at $1,000.00 each. Prizes are awarded “as is” and have no cash value. If you win 'em you use 'em or you don't! That is your choice! HOW TO WIN SOCIAL MEDIA GIVEAWAY (Portal Prophecies) I can have some fun with this! First, let me start by saying, following my social media is a good idea if you want to win. I am not forcing you, but it will be easier. https://www.facebook.com/ThePortalPro... https://twitter.com/portalprophecy http://theportalprophecies.tumblr.com/ https://www.pinterest.com/cking7home/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_sb... https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... http://www.portalprophecies.com/ https://plus.google.com/u/1/103383068... I have a bunch of codes. Each code (prize) is for two (2) tickets to the haunt anytime you choose (from dates open) in the 2016 season (the contest duration). At the start of the contest I will be giving away a minimum of one prize per week and a maximum of six per month. So, some weeks I may giveaway two prizes if the participation warrants. For the month of March a maximum of three (3) prizes that will be drawn. Draws will take place once per week from March 18 to the last week of September 2016. There will be one Grand Prize (VIP Pass) draw that will occur on a date in September 2016 to be announced. Ballots from events (as mentioned below) that do not have a dedicated VIP draw will be added to the Social Media VIP draw. There will be multiple ways to enter. Individuals can enter as many times as they wish. All entries received will be valid for all draws that occur after the date entered, including the grand prize draw. I will randomly post on my social media ways for individuals to have their name entered during the contest duration. Ways to enter may be posted on any form of social media including the forums of the portal prophecy website and my ask the author group on goodreads. It is up to individuals to find the information on ways to enter themselves. Announcement of all winners will be made via youtube video. Several draws may be combined into one video. Announcements of video release dates and postings will be made on facebook and twitter. All winning codes will be delivered via facebook or email. It is your responsibility to provide a form of contact for this. CHARLES BIZARRO EVENT GIVEAWAY As this suggests, Charles Bizarro will be present at events and doing his own giveaway. This is completely separate from my social media giveaway. The prizes are the same, however there will be at least three (3) VIP Passes between all events the Portal Prophecies attends between March and September 2016. One will be drawn from entries received at Toronto Comiccon One will be drawn from entries received at Niagara Falls Comiccon One will be drawn from entries received at Word on the Street Toronto. The ballots from all other events which take place before October 1, 2016, will be added to the social media draw for the VIP Pass. Charles Bizarro, at his sole discretion, may choose to add more VIP draws if he sees fit, depending on the number of entries received. There will be a minimum of five (5) draws each for a code that is good for two (2) tickets to the haunt in the 2016 season per event. Draws will occur during the two weeks following each event. All draws, including the combined event and social media draw for a VIP pass will take place no later than September 27, 2016 (the final draw). No entries will be accepted after that draw has been made. http://www.bizarroshaunt.com/ https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/bizarros-factory-of-fear-haunted-attraction-tickets-20282884654 https://www.facebook.com/bizarrosfactoryoffear/ https://twitter.com/calvinccox RULES Everything ends on the last day of September 2016!
