Celebrate the Holidays with the Lifestyles Channel

If you’re in dire need of some holiday contest cheer (besides the contest here at Offbeat Homes) than do I have good news for you because the Lifestyles Channel is overflowing with happy tidings this year…

The Main Event:

The First Annual b5media Lifestyles Channel Holiday Blogging Awards!

Our awesome Lifestyles channel editor Gayla has recruited some of her favorite bloggers from around the sphere to step up as judges for the following categories:

Best Holiday decoration of a Blog – Any blog or blogger who has decorated their blog for the holidays either entirely or in an subtle way. Prize: $20 USD via Paypal and links from channel blogs.

Best post about Christmas on a Blog – The best posting about Christmas or holiday activities on a blog. It can be religious or non-religious, but should celebrate the spirit of the season. Prize: $20 USD via Paypal and links from channel blogs.

Best Holiday image or video on a Blog – The best display of your own personal holiday decorations on a blog. It can be religious or non-religious, but again, should celebrate the spirit of the season. Prize: $20 USD via Paypal and links from channel blogs.

All you have to do to win is submit your entry to our Holiday Blogging Awards host post. Be sure to include the link to be judged or risk disqualification. It’s THAT Easy and what’s better than FREE Money!?!

Nominations will close at midnight December 13th and winners will be announced on Monday December 17th.

Other Amazing Channel Contests:

If you hurry you can still get in an entry with Maricar at Keeping The Castle. She’s hosting a Cookie Swap Kit Giveaway – but it all ends tomorrow (Friday, December 7) at 5:00 p.m. EST so run don’t walk.

Tangled Thread is having a wonderful Winter Wonderland Contest. The prizes are two beautiful, handcrafted fiber art tags. Really pretty — I already went to peek.

Hankering for Yarn is giving away a really cute and unique holiday item. As of right now this contest has about 157 entries so a big good luck; you’re going to need it.

If you like fuzzy, furry, flying, and swimming friends as much as Heather than stop off at her blog, The Food Bowl to win a copy of Groovitude, A Get Fuzzy Treasury.

Marye is having a fab Kettle & Cup month long free coffee give-a-way.

Marye is having a second contest as well; the Baking Delights Christmas cookbook give-a-way!

Kate is sponsoring an amazing contest at Babylune — the Generous December Group Writing Project. If you win she’ll give a donation to your favorite charity or helpful organization. There have been beautiful and entertaining entries so far. I very much encourage you to get involved — I did; here’s my entry.

Whew. All this makes for a very merry holiday around the channel — which contests are you entering?
