One simply cannot have enough contests and prizes and giveaways in my humble opinion. The last prizes for the launch contest have been shipped off, so I think it’s high time for another contest! So, we’re launching the Orphan’s Song Epic Photo Contest … because who doesn’t love epic photos and Amazon gift cards? Yep, you read that right. There is a $20.00 Amazon giftcard at stake here! Guidelines: The contest runs until December 3rd. To enter, take a picture of your copy of Orphan’s Song and post it somewhere online – your blog, facebook, pinterest, twitter, etc. You must either tag me in the picture, leave a comment with a workable link, or send a link to my email at thesongkeeper@gmail.com. At the end of the contest, I will compile all of the pictures into an album where everyone will have the chance to vote on the most epic photo to select the winner of a $20.00 Amazon gift card. (Important Note: by sending me the photo link, you acknowledge that you grant me permission to post your photo in an online album for contest purposes.) Frequently-Asked-Questions:
- What if I got the ebook instead of the paperback? Can I still enter?
Absolutely! Take a picture with the cover showing on your ereader! Ebooks are awesome, so we definitely won’t let something like that stop you from entering the contest.
- Do I have to be in the picture?
Nope, you do not have to be in the picture if you would prefer not to plaster your gorgeous face online. Simply take a picture of your book in an epic setting—see my photo above.
- What do you mean by an “epic” photo?
I’m hoping that y’all will have fun with the contest and take pictures of the book in all sorts of adventurous settings, costumes, lightings, backdrops, etc. In short, be creative! Have fun! Use your imagination and try to convey a little bit of the adventurous feel of the story in your photo. The sky’s the limit here! Have fun and happy photo-taking! If you have any other questions, leave a comment and I’ll get back as quickly as I can. Don’t have a copy of Orphan’s Song yet? You’re in luck. I’m currently running a giveaway on Goodreads and it’s super easy to enter.

Wow! SO excited! I am ordering the book, I have not had time, but now I do! And I love taking photos :)
One question: Can we submit multiple photos or just one?

Unknown says
Oh wait…I don't have any social media. Maybe I can use my mom's Facebook for that one?
Gillian Bronte Adams says
Sure that should work fine! You can submit multiple photos as long as you post all of them online as well. :)
Allison Ruvidich says
Okay, I have GOT to enter this! My copy of Orphan's Song came yesterday (yay!), so I will start brainstorming!
Gillian Bronte Adams says
Yay! I'm glad it arrived. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Jack says
This sounds fun!! I am definitely going to enter!
Gillian Bronte Adams says
Sweet, Jack! Can't wait to see your photo.
Jenelle Leanne says
Sounds like fun! Sadness, I do not yet have a copy of Orphan's Song… but it is on my list!
Gillian Bronte Adams says
*sigh* I understand! So many books to read … so little time!
Unknown says
I have Orphan's Song now. I loved it!!! I read it 2 times in 2 days :) Photos coming soon!

Would it count if I posted them on a student forum in my online classes? All the students would see them.

Sure! That should be fine. :)
