We are getting ready to dust off the prizes!
When we launched the Reading Changed My Life Contest on September 7, 2012, our goal was to receive photos and videos containing powerful stories that would inspire others and emphasize the importance of reading. After 12 weeks, we received nearly 1,000 entries from 93 countries and more than 7,400 votes. We achieved this thanks to all the support from participants and our co-sponsors!
This week we were delighted to announce the first round of winners. The public voted and selected the 5 photo finalists and 5 video finalists. Each of them has won a Kindle Keyboard 3G. But the contest is not over yet… Get ready to find out who the grand prize winners and the 10 additional finalists are Join the virtual awards ceremony next Wednesday, December 5th, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. EST / 6:30 p.m. GMT to celebrate all the winners and connect with people from around the world.
