Latest Leap Contest
School's out for summer--or it soon will be. And Leap Books is hoping you'll dive into some summer fun at your local library. This year the theme is Make a Splash @ Your Library for tweens or Make Waves @ Your Library for teens. In keeping with that theme, Leap's holding a contest to get books out to libraries and to give prizes to teens. All you have to do is read one of the excerpts posted on the Leap Books website and tell us what you think happens next in 250 words or less. Official Contest rules are posted below. They'll also be available on our website.
Ready to Make a Splash? Then Leap in!
2010 SPLASH! Official Contest Rules
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING.
The following Contest offer is good in the United States and Canada only and shall be construed and evaluated according to the laws of the United States.
The “SPLASH!” Contest (“Contest”) begins at 1:00:00 a.m. Central Standard Time (CST), Tuesday, June 1, 2010, and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. (CST), Tuesday, August 31, 2010 (“Contest Period”), and is sponsored by Leap Books, LLC. (“Sponsor”). The Contest is void where prohibited or restricted by law. All applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations apply. By participating in the Contest, each participant is required to be 18 years of age or older and a library employee (“Library Employee”) at the time the entry is submitted. Library Employee agrees that he or she has read, understands, and agrees to be bound by the Official Rules and the final decisions of the Sponsor.
HOW TO ENTER: All registrant information must be for a Library Employee who is 18 years of age or older, or entry will be disqualified. Enter online at leapcontest@leapbks.com between June 1, 2010, and August 31, 2010. Limit one entry per eligible library. Multiple entries submitted on behalf of the same library will be posted online, but will be disqualified from winning an additional prize. Using the entry form or a Word document, Library Employee should enter his/her first and last name, Library Name, complete address, phone number, and e-mail address. The entry form must be accompanied by an ending (no greater than 250 words) to one of the excerpts posted online at www.leapbks.com. This ending must be composed by one or more teens or tweens and must be submitted by a Library Employee. All entries are subject to verification.
Pictures of the contestants may be included with the entry, but permission must be obtained from all parents/guardians to post the photograph(s) containing pictures of any teens/tweens under the age of 18. First names of teens/tweens may be included as identification for a photo caption, but no other identifying information should be included with the entry. In lieu of a contestant photo, a photo of the library may accompany the entry. Lack of a photograph will not disqualify any entry.
PRIZES: Three (3) Grand-Prize Winners will be selected from all eligible entries received. The endings will be judged by the authors of the excerpts, who will each select one (1) finalist from all eligible endings to the excerpt from his/her book. Entries will be judged on creativity (How unusual is the ending?) and uniqueness (How different is the ending from any of the other submissions?), both of which will be weighted equally. In the event of a tie, a panel consisting of three Leap Books editors will rejudge, breaking any ties and basing their decision on the original judging criteria.
In addition, names will be drawn randomly from all entries to receive free books from Leap Books.
PRIZES: Each Grand Prize consists of a Leap T-shirt, a special prize from the book’s author, an opportunity to collaborate with the author on a writing project, and a set of three (3) Leap Books for each teen/tween who participated in creating the winning entry. The winning library will also receive a set of three (3) books and a free ½-hour Skype visit (or online chat) with the author of the excerpt for which the ending was created.

Leap Launch Contest!
So hey, we totally dig that you’re into spreading the word about Leap. It’s because of dedicated YA bloggers and readers like you that we started Leap. Our inbox has been bursting at the seams with requests for ARCs. We’re totally floored that you wuv’s us! We wish we could give every single person an ARC, but sadly we have a limited number of review copies. Our Leap marketing team hasn’t figured out the formula for turning paperclips into gold yet. (Darn marketing team, work faster, sheesh!) But fret not, Leap fans, we’re holding a contest to spread the book homage and give YA reviewers and Leap fans a chance to WIN a few ARCs and/or some snazztastic swag.
Ah, so we have your attention now, eh?
Go to http://www.leapbks.com/, or get it here on our blog, snag the Leap badge, and post it on your Blog, MySpace, Facebook, etc. Check us out every other week for another badge. Email us at contests@leapbks.com with the address of the blog, MySpace, or Facebook page where you loaded our special nifty badges. See our website contests page for full details, rules and prize information.
