Contest Rules

To provide fair and equal chance of winning to all The Anime Blog readers, the following are the official rules for all contests on The Anime Blog websites.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE CHANCES OF WINNING.

All winners must be 13 years of age or older, unless otherwise stated and/or posted.

1. Entering Contests and Choosing and Contacting Winners

Winners of random Twitter contests will be chosen at random from Twitter replies received.

Entrants must reply to the trivia question using an active Twitter account, answer to the question, and any other specific entry information requested in the contest announcement. The Anime Blog is not responsible for and will not consider incomplete or incorrect entries, or emails/tweets sent but not received by The Anime Blog for any reason, as potential contest winners.

Winners of all contests will be contacted at the Twitter account used to enter the contest, and the person receiving and replying to the winner announcement tweet will be considered the winner unless they specify another person within the reply tweet as the winner. The Anime Blog will mail the contest prize to the address supplied by the recipient of the winner announcement tweet.

Only one entry per Twitter account used to send the tweet will be considered for contest entry, unless multiple entries are specifically allowed in the contest posting. Unless otherwise specified in an individual contest post, no person may enter any contest more than once using multiple Twitter accounts.

Claiming of prizes requires a Twitter reply to The Anime Blog from the winning sender Twitter account within 15 days of being notified of winning at the account used to enter. Failure to respond shall mean that the winner forfeits the prize. The Anime Blog is not required to award elsewhere any prizes forfeited by the chosen winner(s).
