Are You a Jackie, Hazel, Lourdes or Irena? Tell Me How and Win a $25 AmEx Gift Card!
I wanted to take a break from work to launch another contest. This one is for all of you have read or are now reading Divas Don't Yield. Because this is the first Divas contest, I wanted to make it simple and fun. All you have to do is answer one simple question.
Which of the four main characters -- Jackie, Hazel, Lourdes or Irena -- are you the most like in and how are you like her?
Send a reply of 100 words or less to contest@blackartemis.com by the deadline. Be sure to write DIVAS in the subject line. I'll choose the best response and announce the winner on Monday, August 28th. What is the best way to get my attention? Tell me a story that illustrates just how much you are like the character you identify with most.
And just so you know, you do not have to be a woman and/or Latina to win this contest. When judging the entries, I won't be looking only at the obvious -- race, class, sexuality, etc. I'm much more interested in reading how you relate to the character's personality, experiences, interests, hopes, fears and beliefs. That means this contest is open to anyone and everyone who has read the book.
The deadline is midnight E.S.T. on Friday, August 25th. The prize is a $25.00 AmEx gift card. That's right. Twenty-five bucks for you to spend as you wish with no hints from me. :) Let the fun begin!
