A random number will be selected from the whole entries, (The person who wins the Voter's choice will not be eligible for this category,)
So, picking the winner goes by this order: 1. Readers choice 2. Random pick
Ok..What are the giveaway gifts?
When I was discussing with my friends about this, most of them suggested gift cards. We will never know, what people like or what they have or dont have. As this is my first grand event, I wanted to make it simple and easy at the same time the giveaways must make the participants happy. If it is gift card you can get anything you plan. As this is holiday season, I hope you will also like this Idea.
