50 Years of 50 States Starts Tomorrow!!!
ByI hope you all are as excited as I am to kick off the first ever contest on Everything Is History. Before we get started, I advise you subscribe to the RSS feed, or follow EiH on Twitter so that you don’t miss out on any of the prizes. Here’s a quick rundown of how this is gonna work:
- Ten states will be featured per day, Monday through Friday. At the end of the day, there will be a trivia question relating to the states from that day. Answer the question in the comments, and you have the opportunity to win a prize. The winner for the day will be selected at random from all of the correct answers.
- So that everyone has a chance to win, you will only be able to win once, although you are more than welcome to participate for the entire week.
- On Saturday, at the end of the series, there will be one final question in which everybody, including past winners can participate.
Here is the list of potential prizes:
- How the States Got Their Shapes by Mark Stein
- State by State: A Portrait of America by Matt Weiland
- Names on the Land: A Historical Account of Place-Naming in the United States by George R. Stewart
- USA License Plate Map Fine Art Poster
- To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the state quarter program, 5 uncirculated quarters from 1999 from GovMint.com
- GRAND PRIZE: $50 Amazon Gift Card
