July 15 – 28 on Multicultural Kid Blogs

Join us this summer as we set off on an adventure to explore the blogs of Multicultural Kid Blogs!  Play along for a chance to win one of our fabulous prizes!

How to Play

Create a Pinterest board specifically for the contest and name the board “Multicultural Kid Blogs Pinterest Scavenger Hunt.”

Each day a new clue (or two!) will be revealed.  Follow the clue to the blog of the day and pin the post described in the clue.  (Any image from the post is fine).

In the Rafflecopter below, enter the link to the Pinterest board you created for this contest.  The Rafflecopter will also have lots of other ways to  earn extra entries.  The only required entry is the link to your Pinterest board.

Please note: You can enter the Rafflecopter at any point during the contest.  Obviously your board won’t be complete until the end of the contest, but you can enter the link in the Rafflecopter before then.  If your name is drawn at the end of the contest, we will check your board at that time.

The final clue will be given July 28.  Participants will have until midnight Pacific time on July 31 to finalize their boards.  The drawing will take place on August 1.

Winners must submit a Pinterest board with all of the correct posts pinned.  Winners will be notified via email and must respond within 48 hours or another name will be drawn.

Good luck, explorers!
