• Larry Hendrick will host "Best Use of Colorful Adjectives"

THE RULES:

1. Contest entries will be hosted on Pet, Phil, and Larry's websites

11. This contest is the sole responsibility of Phil, Pet and Larry and in no way reflects the views or endorsement of 100Bloggers, Troy Worman, or any future assigns or responsible parties. The opinions expressed are solely ours, but you can borrow them if you like.

HOW IT WORKS:

Go look at your articles and those of the people you read and discover an article that meets one of the categories and email the URL or the post to the category host. The complete article will be posted on the host website and cross-posted on 100Bloggers (posts must have complete original website information). As you read all the entries, decide which is your favorite in each category and go to the host website to vote. You can vote in all the contests (and if savvy enough, more than once). You are encouraged to "pump it up" on your websites creating heat! Then when the voting starts, solicit like crazy. Votes can be begged, bought or stolen, your call.
