50 Years of 50 States Contest Details
By
On August 21, 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state to ratify the Constitution; the 50th state to join the Union, the 50th star on the flag. On August 21, 2009, the state of Hawaii did little to celebrate its golden statehood anniversary. Well, EiH will not let such an important milestone go uncelebrated, as Hawaii’s statehood is just as much a milestone for the rest of America as it is for Hawaii itself. As such, I will take you on a journey celebrating the success of the grand little experiment that is the United States. Be sure to come back and participate in the trivia contest for your chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card! Hold on tight, as EiH presents 50 Years of 50 States. For now, I leave you with a refresher video from the greatest cartoon of all-time. UPDATE: Contest details are below.
Contest Details:
- 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:
