FAQs – Frequently Asked Qs

• How long is the contest?
  • The contest will run between Apr 15th, 2020 and May 18th, 2020.
• I missed the start/ first few themes. Can I participate?
  • As long as you signed up before Apr 25th using this link, and posted on 3 distinct dates before May 18th, you are eligible for the contest and to win.
  • You still do have to respond to the earlier posts to win more points.
• I love books, but don’t have my own blog. Can I participate?
  • Having your own blog helps, even with a wordpress domain. For example, https://nirupamaprv.wordpress.com/
  • You can also use your Instagram, Facebook posts or Medium.com articles to create book reviews (min 100 words).
  • LinkedIn articles and Twitter posts are NOT allowed.
  • For all the posts please remember to add the link of theme post (the appropriate blog post) and the hashtag #BookReviewBlogChallenge for every response. Then use your bloglink or Instagram story (or other) and post as a comment under our prompt.
• Do I have to respond to all 8 prompts?
  • The minimum is one welcome post and 3 book reviews on distinct days. So technically, you qualify for the prizes even if you miss a theme.
  • However, more posts = more points. $50 prize will be awarded to person with the most points. So writing more works in your favor.
• I found a book that fits the theme, but I have already reviewed the book in an earlier post. Can I reuse the post?
  • If you reviewed the book for an earlier prompt in this challenge, then the book cannot be reused again.
  • If you reviewed the book on your own, unrelated to this challenge, then the book is allowed. However, you do need to create a new post explaining why you chose the book. Just link to the earlier post instead of doing the review again. Cross-linking is great for SEO and Google searches!
• I don’t live in the Eastern Time Zone (US-NYC). So my post has a different date, even though it fits the time limits for posting. Is my post still eligible?
  • We use the date/timestamp based on when you commented on our site, not the values on your blog. So we will be able to award you the correct points.
• I am working/studying/caregiver and can only work weekends. Is it worth participating?
  • Absolutely! The challenge prompts will be added on Wednesdays and Saturdays. As long as you posted on 3 distinct days, you will qualify for the prizes.
  • There are some additional points for posting within 2 days of the prompt. So you should be eligible for those bonus points if you post by Friday (for the Wednesday posts) and early for the Saturday posts.
• I am having technical difficulties commenting on your site/ posting on my site/ other . Can I email you my book review?
  • Yes, email us at [email protected] . However, please note that we will assess this on a case by case basis. Repeat offenders may be disqualified for prizes at the discretion of the challenge hosts.
  • If you have an instagram account or write on Medium.com, please post there as well, if possible.
  • If you email us, please send your response as a Word doc ONLY. Plus, the contents should follow all other rules including hyperlinks, images and tag #BookReviewBlogChallenge.
• For all other Qs, please refer to the rules and conditions here.
