These questions cover different areas of our business directory and the correct answer will give you one entry in the daily drawing as well as the Grand Prize and First Prize drawings on the 25th.

Prize winners will be notified by email as well as the prize sponsors so that prizes can be sent directly to the winner quickly. All winners will be announced and all prizes will be received on or before December 31st.

A list of winners will be posted at our WBO Christmas Contest Page by December 31st.

Ladies, we need sponsors for our Christmas contest. Each sponsor will have their name, business name and url posted daily with the question of the day. Sponsors are eligible to win prizes by receiving an entry into the contest for every prize they sponsor.

We would like to give away a prize every day from December 1st - 25th in the form of gift certificates for services, products and cash. Each prize must be worth at least $25 but can be more. You can sponsor one day, a week or even every single day of the contest.

Our first sponsor, yours truly, is donating a $50 gift card to the retailer of the winner’s choice but we need more prizes, not just cash awards.

Think of it. Your name and business information posted daily with a question of the day for 25 days just for sponsoring our event. You can list the event on your website and receive additional entries for anyone sent by you. Codes will be assigned to be sent in with entries from our sponsors sites.

Not only can you contribute, promote and help WBO grow but you can get advertising for your business sent out to our members. I’m going to be posting information on various sites about our promotion to bring in new people and I hope you will all do the same.

If you want to be a sponsor, just let me know by Thursday, November 30th. I can be reached by email at gazelle@womenowners.com or by telephone at 678-423-3187. Prizes will be distributed from the sponsor directly to the winner so nothing needs to be sent in to participate other than your contact information and prize. Take care, have a great weekend and God bless.
