The FOREVER Contest is Dead, Long Live the Contest  
So I have winners from the Facebook and Twitter FOREVER contests! And I have one last one to announce, running until the 18th of June.

First of all, here are the winners of the last contest:

The twitter winner: @xox_eziii_xox

The facebook winner: Rae Lutsky

And now, the new (last!) contest. Three lucky winners will each get a signed ARC of FOREVER. However, since the last one was easy, this one is hard.

It's a Wolves of Mercy Falls art contest. Any sort of art is acceptable — photo, computer, hand-drawn, paper cut out, play-doh, singing a song, doing a dance, throwing an impromptu Shiver skit on the steps of Town Hall and video-taping it — BUT it must have zippo copyright infringements. That means if you use anyone else's photos or material, they must be available through Creative Commons (and no, I will not explain Creative Commons. You should google it, because everyone should be familiar with it). You may quote lines from the book. But, it means if you were thinking of re-doing the cover with M&M's on your kitchen floor, you should reconsider and do something original. Well, actually, that might be cool . . .

This is NOT a random contest, it is a judged one (though possibly not by me. I might ask one of my friends who will not be biased in any way).

1. To enter, the art has to be visible to third parties. That means it has to be on a public blog (like Blogger, Livejournal, etc.) or on DeviantArt or something like that. Facebook and Twitter don't count on this one.

2. Somehow label that sucker as art inspired by the books — if you want to link back here, that's cool, or to the books, doubly cool, but you don't have to.

3. Then go to this website and post the link for where the judge can see it: https://contestmachine.com/hosted/promotion/QOCDWZMACR

DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY AS A COMMENT TO THIS BLOG


I feel I have to make that large and black. Otherwise I always have to end up disabling comments and people don't know how to ask questions then.

Okay, what else? Because of publishers' ARC rules, it is international, but ONLY if you have a U.S. address for me to ship to. It runs through June 18th, 9:15 a.m. EST.

Go!

I was really excited about this, until I saw the part about needing a U.S. address. That should have been said earlier. :C

Sadly, I didn't know the constraints of the ARCs before last month.

TOO HARD.

I have a real people job, so I'll pass on this ;P

Contest question
Can I write a poem or does it have to be visual art? Thanks for the contest.

Aeriell :)

Re: Contest question
I definitely second this question.
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on June 3rd, 2011 07:32 pm (UTC)
Re: Contest question
It doesn't have to be visual art, but it's probably more likely to have an awe factor to the judges if it's visual.

This is a neat idea! I'm not that artistic, but I'd love to see what everyone else comes up with. Might there be a way to view the entries after the contest? I absolutely LOVE fan-art :)

I'll be sure to ask folks after to see if we can post them!
lovesferrets101 on June 3rd, 2011 06:42 pm (UTC)
Does that mean that if we don't have a blog, we can't enter?
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on June 3rd, 2011 07:31 pm (UTC)
Unfortunately, it has to be someplace public. So a blog, or Deviant Art, or something like that (not Facebook or Twitter).
lovesferrets101 on June 3rd, 2011 06:58 pm (UTC)
And also, are we allowed to use quotes from the book?
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on June 3rd, 2011 07:31 pm (UTC)
Yep!
Anna DoughertyAnna Dougherty on June 3rd, 2011 07:18 pm (UTC)
question
can i use some of your Shiver music to do a dance?
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on June 3rd, 2011 07:31 pm (UTC)
Re: question
Yep!
kusanarkusanar on June 3rd, 2011 08:17 pm (UTC)
Well, this is certainly right up my alley! :D

Now, the question is acrylics or colored pencils hummmm ^_^

Re: Melbourne Fan
LOL, it'll be out in stores by then!
Lisa DuongLisa Duong on June 3rd, 2011 11:31 pm (UTC)
Would Tumblr be acceptable?
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on June 9th, 2011 04:20 am (UTC)
Yep!

You're listening to "Crush"? I seriously thought I was the only person who knew that song!
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on June 9th, 2011 04:20 am (UTC)
It's purdy.
basicallyalyssa on June 4th, 2011 04:38 pm (UTC)
Can we enter more than once? I love to draw and would love do do more than one idea :)
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on June 9th, 2011 04:21 am (UTC)
Go for it!!
liamdeihr on June 4th, 2011 08:13 pm (UTC)
I see what you did there with the title, Maggie. Very nice.
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on June 9th, 2011 04:21 am (UTC)
>:D
once upon a time, i was falling in love.: hufflepuff.helinho on June 6th, 2011 05:20 am (UTC)
I know that using lines from the book is allowed, but if we film something, can it be like a whole entire scene, or does it just have to be random quotes? I don't exactly know what is or isn't copyright infringement on this one, haha. Cool contest, by the way! :)
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on June 9th, 2011 04:21 am (UTC)
Nope, you can definitely film a whole scene and use all the dialog, etc. (which would be very cool!)
maddy323 on June 9th, 2011 05:42 pm (UTC)
Youtube?
If I post my video (of me singing a song) on Youtube, and make it public and all that jazz, do I still need to post it on a blog?
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on June 9th, 2011 06:06 pm (UTC)
Re: Youtube?
Nope, Youtube is good enough!

Contest entry
I put in the wrong email address for our entry in the contest, is there anyway I can resubmit or fix it? I'm sorry for the trouble.
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on June 11th, 2011 02:16 am (UTC)
Re: Contest entry
Yep, just resubmit it and I'll make a note!
readerb on June 11th, 2011 02:20 am (UTC)
Re: Contest entry
thank you so much! :)
maddy323 on June 12th, 2011 04:27 am (UTC)
Sorry to hassle you Maggie, but I entered the contest (maddy323@gmail.com) but I leave to go out of town on Thursday (6/16) and won't be back for a little over a week without email access. I know the chances are slim, but i'm wishful thinking, and I'm scared that if I win one of the prizes I won't be able to send you my address in time for the 3-day no response forfeit rule. Help?
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on June 12th, 2011 10:14 pm (UTC)
I will make an exception, since you warned me. :)
kyo0chankyo0chan on June 12th, 2011 12:15 pm (UTC)

Can I enter more than once?

Re: :)
Yep.

Multiple Entires
So I read in someone's comment you answered that we could enter more than once, but on the site where we send in our entries, we can only enter once per email address. I just used two separate email addresses to submit two entries, is that okay? Or does that count as cheating? ;) I don't want to be disqualified because of that. Thanks!
WriterofWrongstatertot9995 on June 17th, 2011 04:17 am (UTC)
Answer me . . . please? :D
Do you have a favorite quote from any of the three books (I mean a "This is my absolute favorite from the series', worthy of being tattooed on my body type quote)? And if you if it happens to be from Forever and you refuse to share it, what is your second favorite/favorite from either Shiver or Linger? Just wondering. You know. For artistic purposes ;P
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on February 5th, 2012 05:07 pm (UTC)
Re: Answer me . . . please? :D
Haha -- this is a terrible question to ask an author. All of the lines I like are the tragic awful ones. :)
Gretaerikasbuddy on June 18th, 2011 05:06 pm (UTC)
Made a mistake
Hi there!

I entered the wrong email address. I should have said .COM and not .NET

It starts with Tuxedofrootloop ;)

Sorry about that! I'm sure you'd realize it but I just wanted to tell you.

I submitted it this past Tuesday.

Bummer
I missed the deadline! I'm so angry at myself. Oh well. Thanks for the shot anyway. In case you want to look at it anyway, being that it's fanart of your characters.
