I know it's not May yet, but Bloom is already in stores, so I'm going to start the BLOOM contest now.

So, here's the deal. All you have to do is:

1. Buy a copy of BLOOM and save the receipt.

2. Take a photo of the receipt with your camera phone, digital camera, etc., and then send the picture to me at elizabethscottcontest@gmail.com
Please make sure to include your name, as well as the email address it's best to contact you at.

3. Once I get the picture of your receipt, you'll be entered into the BLOOM contest drawing.

Here are the prizes:

ONE first prize winner will receive an iPod OR a $250 gift certificate to the bookstore of their choice.

TWO second prize winners will each receive a $100 gift certificate to the bookstore of their choice

THREE third prize winners will each receive a $75 gift certificate to the bookstore of their choice

FOUR fourth prize winners will each receive a $50 gift certificate to the bookstore of their choice

So, there's actually a total of ten prizes to be given away, and again, all you have to do to enter is buy Bloom, and send a picture of your receipt to elizabethscottcontest@gmail.com

The contest will run through June 30th, and I'll announce the winners here on July 2nd.
