Each entry consisted of a bridal gown, hair accessory, shoes, and anything else that’d complete the bride’s look – as long as the total cost was $500 or less. I’ll be sharing each of the entries, one per day, over the next few weeks.

16 GB Apple iPad

Contest: Win an Apple iPad!

Posted by Khris in Contests

Hello, you sexy thing! If the iPad is on your “must have” list, you’re in for a geeky treat of nerd proportions.

Beginning Monday, April 05 DIY Bride (that’s me) is opening a contest to win a 16 GB iPad. Since this is a serious chunk of change out of my blogging pockets, I’m gonna make you work for it. Don’t worry; it’ll be fun!

The Scoop:

Since the economy and wedding budgets are very much in focus right now, I’m asking that anyone who wishes to have a chance to win the iPad to submit an inspiration board with the theme of The Under $500 Bridal Ensemble into our new gallery. We did this a 1.5 years ago and it was a blast.

How To Enter:

Submit an inspiration board that contains the following:

• bridal gown
• veil/headpiece/tiara/hair accessories
• shoes
• jewelry/other accessories

When combined, the total cost of all of the pieces of the ensemble must be less than $500. All pieces must be new (no vintage, second hand, clearance/sales, or consignment). Entries must include links to the products and list the prices in the gallery submission form to qualify.

Entries in must be a single Inspiration board image in .gif, .jpg, .png,  format.

Entries must be put into the 2010 Inspiration Board section of the gallery. Posts anywhere else will not be accepted. You must be a member of our community forums. There’s no fee to register.

Deadline:

Submissions must be in by the end of day on Thursday, May 06.

Selection: On May 07, the winner will be chosen.

One entry per person. We track IP addresses.

The contest is open to anybody in the US (sorry, our international pals) who are not employees, advertisers/affiliates,  nor related to employees of DIYBride.com. No purchase is necessary.

The iPad will ship directly from Apple. Delivery time will be dependent upon Apple’s supply and fulfillment timeline.

Winners must provide a shipping address (no PO Boxes) and must be present to sign for the delivery. No exceptions.

The fine print is behind the jump.
