Nikon D300s Giveaway

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST CAREFULLY – all of your questions about this contest are answered here.

I love giving away cameras. And my friends at ScanCafe have agreed to work with me again to give away another excellent camera. This time we’re offering some Nikon love. The hot new Nikon D300s to be exact. Here’s how to enter for your chance to win…

First, go to Twitter and if you don’t already have an account there, set one up. It’s free. Then follow me – Scott Bourne. Go to http://www.twitter.com/scottbourne and click on the Follow button that appears under my profile.

Then, and this is the last step, simply write out the following tweet…

Win a new Nikon D300s (or 2000 photo scans) from @ScanCafe & Scott Bourne. Pls RT. Details here: http://bit.ly/8SJuMT

Tweet this EXACTLY as written. There is no @ sign in front of my name by design. If your Tweet doesn’t match this text string EXACTLY it won’t count.

That’s it. Just follow me on Twitter. (http://www.twitter.com/scottbourne) Send out that Tweet – and you’re done.

But this is important – only do this ONE TIME! It does not in any way improve your odds if you Tweet this message more than once. If you do send it more than once, you’ll just make your followers mad and you won’t increase your odds. You won’t be disqualified but you won’t help yourself either.

Here’s some of the fine print…

If you are already following me on Twitter – you don’t need to un-follow and then re-follow. Unfollowing and refollowing or following multiple times will get you blocked and make you ineligible for the giveaway.

If you have entered my previous contests – you still need to tweet about the D300s if you want a chance at that camera – but remember – only once.

You must be at least 18 years old at the time of your Tweet to win. All taxes are the responsibility of the winner. The decision of the judges is final. The winner will be announced on Twitter.com March 15, 2010, sometime before Midnight. Employees of Bourne Media Group and members of their immediate families are ineligible to win.

Please do not contact us to ask if we’ve received your entry. We simply don’t have time to respond to thousands of such requests.

This contest is void where prohibited by law. The contest is open to anyone, world wide as long as you live in a country where contests such as this one are legal. If you live in Quebec Canada for instance, you may not participate since contests like this one are illegal there without payment of a bond. It’s your responsibility to ensure that contests like this one are not prohibited by your local law. Actual prize awards will only happen after your execution of an affidavit of eligibility.

You may choose between the new Nikon D300s (body only) still in the box or 2000 free photo scans from scanning leader @ScanCafe. *NOTE: If we have a winner located outside the US, they will pay shipping for the camera and are not eligible to win the scans.

We reserve the right to substitute US funds equal to the camera’s last street price in the event that the camera is discontinued or unavailable.

In the event of an international winner, neither Bourne Media Group or ScanCafe will be responsible for delays in prize delivery caused by Customs clearing.

We check the ScottBourne Twitter account for a list of followers. We verify the aforementioned re-tweet. We throw all that information at a random number generator and pick a winner.

You will not be able to enter as long as your tweets are private.

If any part of this makes you uncomfortable, if you don’t like the way I use Twitter, or if you don’t like the fact that I do these giveaways, please don’t participate.

For the rest of you – I promise to (as in the past) make sure that you get plenty of good content from me here and on Twitter in between the giveaways.

Thanks for your support.
