Greetings CMH Fans and Followers!

For the past 2 years, we’ve run a special holiday giveaway contest to express my sincere gratitude to our followers and our columnists. That said, I am very happy to say that the Give A Gift, Get a Gift Giveaway Contest returns again this year!

As you may know, Classic Movie Hub is a labor of love for me, one that I launched several years ago. It started out as my final project for a website development course I was taking at NYU (it was just a one-page site at that time) – and has since grown quite a bit (may I say that’s an understatement?). For me, it’s been an extremely exciting adventure that has allowed me to pursue my passion, learn an awful lot — and (truly) meet wonderful like-minded fans and bloggers, many of which I now count among my friends! Not to mention the fact that it’s mind-boggling to think that we now have over 1.1M Facebook fans, 78K Twitter fans and 45K Pinterest fans — wow — and that’s all thanks to you – the wonderful and passionate Classic Movie Community! (I know, I know… I said ‘wonderful’ too many times, but that’s how I feel…)

So here we go… Please think of this contest as my way of extending a Big Thank You to everyone who supports Classic Movie Hub… I appreciate it VERY MUCH!

…..

Here’s how the giveaway works:

Our monthly columns, each with a niche classic film theme, are authored by some of the best writers in the classic film community. To better acquaint you with these fabulous writers and to show them some fan love in return, this contest asks you to read as many of these featured posts as you like and leave a comment of feedback for each of those you’ve read. For every comment submitted, you get an entry into our contest. The more comments you give, the more chances you have to win!

We call the contest Give a Gift, Get a Gift… The gift you’re giving is the gift of time by reading and commenting on the post(s)… The gift you’re getting is an entry (or entries) into the contest… As for me, to show my appreciation for your participation, I have tried to put together some nice prize packages — and all of the DVDs have been purchased by me (they were not supplied by any outside company)…

…..

The Weekly and Grand Prize drawings:

The contest will run from now through December 28, 2019, 8PM EST. In order to qualify to win one of these prizes via this contest giveaway, you must read and comment on any of the featured posts listed below (as many as you want). For each comment submitted, you will gain one entry into the contest. However, the sooner you get started, the more chances you will have to win – because in addition to the Grand Prizes awarded at the end of the contest, we will also be giving away one DVD a week (as listed below). And, if you win a DVD during one of the weekly drawings, you are STILL ELIGIBLE to win one of the Grand or Runner Up Prizes at the end of the contest!

Last but not least, the Rules:

Contest will run from Nov 29, 2019 to Dec 28, 2019 at 8pm EST.
Limited to United States (yes, all 50 states can enter this time!) and Canadian residents only.
Every time you read a column article (from the list above) and leave an eligible feedback comment, you will receive one entry into the Contest.
Only one comment per post/article is counted as an entry.
Each comment must be positive, and must be more detailed than simply “great post!” Some good examples:
- “Karen, I really enjoyed learning about the noir gem, WICKED WOMAN. Who knew the writing/directing duo behind that film created the story of Doris Day/Rock Hudson classic PILLOW TALK?? Thanks for teaching me something new about classic film!”
- “Laura, I learned so much about Hopalong Cassidy and other western greats in WESTERN FILM BOOK LIBRARY- Part 2. That was a fascinating list of recommendations. Thanks!”
Yes, you can win the weekly DVD giveaway, and still be eligible to win a Grand Prize or Runner Up Prize package.
Spammers (i.e. using bots to make generic comments) are ineligible.
Updates will be posted on CMH social media channels on a regular basis.
Each winner will be notified by email or Twitter and will have 48 hours to respond with their shipping information or a new winner may be chosen. If any Prize or Prize notification is returned as undeliverable, the winner may be disqualified, and an alternate winner may be selected.
Prizes will ship after the contest period is over. Please allow up to 2 to 4 weeks for prize delivery. Classic Movie Hub is not responsible for prizes lost or stolen.
Family of Classic Movie Hub is not eligible for entry……

The more feedback comments you give, the more chances to win. See? Give a Gift, Get a Gift! We hope you enjoy participating in our Holiday Contest to honor this season for giving.

A Big Thank your for participating! And a Happy and Healthy Holidays to All,
