Preparedness Outreach Contest!!

The Preparedness Pro

Proudly Presents

“Preppers Outreach Contest”©

Entries Accepted March 12^th – April 16^th

Voting Officially Begins April 17th – April 26th (midnight)

Are you ready for THE most EPIC contest in the preparedness community ever?! Not only is it chock-full of AWESOME prizes, but if you win one of 37 prizes, you’ll actually get to select which prize you win!  You can’t beat that! All of these great preparedness prizes are being offered to a super-duper winner and they are being offered by businesses that actually VALUE the kind of preparedness lifestyle that you’re trying to live, so this is a great opportunity for you to get to know them better. But even more importantly the Prepper Outreach Contest has the potential to benefit everyone around you to jump on board the “Preparedness Way of Life”—simply by you entering to win! Now that’s what I call a true WIN-WIN-WIN scenario!

Ready Preparedness Fans? Here We Go!

To enter to win one of THIRTY-SEVEN Prepper Outreach Contest Prizes, all you need to do is write or video record your message inviting others to consider a self-reliant lifestyle.  SORRY; NO MORE ENTRIES ARE TO BE ACCEPTED AT THIS TIME–but you can still VOTE through midnight, April 26th.

Perhaps you can share how it’s benefited you, or how it’s given you peace of mind, or perhaps restored freedom and a sense of independence you can be proud of. Perhaps you can address how your efforts to be more prepared have helped you and your family during tough times, or share what the key moment in your life was that made you start to take actions to ensure your well-being regardless of what life may throw at you.

It’s as simple as that! Just write us an e-mail to [email protected] or load a video message to a special our special site we’ve allocated for these larger files by simply going to www.SelfRelianceSpecialist.com. It’s  capable of receiving your larger files for your video entries. (Reminder: SelfRelianceSpecialist.com is ONLY for your video entries.)

Now, the winners of this EPIC contest aren’t going to win from some random drawing. Nope. You’ll have much more control than that over who wins or loses! YOU and your friends will vote for the BEST entries! Everyone can vote up to FIVE times! (You can see and vote for the entries HERE.)

Once we’ve received a good portion of entries, we’ll post all of them on our website under the Contest tab,  (though the videos will viewable there as well, they will technically be hosted on our Preparedness Pro TV YouTube channel.

We will OFFICIALLY begin the voting on the 17th of April at 12:01 a.m, however, the sooner you submit your entries, the more votes you could get because we’ll be loading them prior to the 16th of April. You’ll want to send as many people as you’d like to vote for the BEST submission (written or video).

Now before you starting pouting because you’ve become a bit of a hermit and have no friends, or perhaps you’ve alienated all of your family with your crazy prepping–don’t worry–you can still win a GREAT prize because we’ve got over 300,000 readers and viewers who will be taking a gander at what you’ve submitted. We’re also inviting every other preparedness organization out there to participate because this contest is just TOO AMAZING to keep all to ourselves. Can you just imagine what good may come from it? People reading  or viewing messages from everyday people who care about taking care of their family and their fellowmen in case something really, really bad happens?

Your entry will win based upon the MOST (positive-family friendly) comments made on your entry. So get creative. Make it real. Make it memorable. Make it good enough that it just might resonate with someone else who’s hemming and hawing about preparedness; or perhaps change someone’s mind who thinks preparedness is all just a bunch of crazy stuff. The more real and honest you can be in your message, the better!! And when have you EVER made a video or written anything that has the possibility of really benefiting other peoples LIVES like this. So even if it’s a tad bit inconvenient, it’s definitely worth it. If you find yourself making excuses as to why NOT to create an entry, snap out of it, and get moving to do something great. Believe me, doing this is a heck of a lot easier than turning away the hungry from your front porch, right? So, look at this opportunity as a way to help the people you care about now, instead of having to turn them away later.

OF COURSE YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN!

Now, before you go telling yourself that you don’t have a chance at winning and you’ve never won anything in your life, blah, blah, blah—snap out of it. I said this is THE EPIC contest of all contests! Why? Because we have LOTS and LOTS of prizes for you!  In fact, we’ve got 37 AWESOME prizes for you! So there are LOTS and LOTS of chances to win!!!

Do you know of the angelic singer by the name of Jackie Evencho? This tiny, beautiful 10 year old, who had a perfectly dreamy, mature. soprano voice rocked the entire world with a simple YouTube video entry for “America’s Got Talent”. Her hypnotic voice drew in millions and millions of viewers who connected to her beautiful message of hope and faith mixed with just a little bit of magic. Your message, reaching out to people all over the world, just might do the same. Haven’t you ever wanted to just shout from the rooftops and try and help people to understand?? So when you create your video on preparedness, do just that. Think of what obstacles you had to overcome to get where you are today—regardless of where you are today in your preparedness efforts—how did YOU turn around?

We all know that someone taking the stand about being willing to think about and prepare for tomorrow also tends to attract more than its fare share of misunderstanding. So now’s your chance to stop standing alone—to reach out and try to help others all over the world to better understand why there’s honor in taking such a stand!

 So what kind of fabulous preparedness prizes are at stake here??

Start date for entries is March 12^th and the contest goes until April 16^th at midnight. Voting will go for ONE WEEK until April 26th at midnight. So HURRY!

Now, keep in mind, it’s the person with the largest number of POSITIVE votes (remember this is a family-friendly event, folks) that wins the very first pick of a prize. The person who gets the second largest number of votes gets to pick their prize next and so on, until all of the 37 prizes are selected—Woohee!That’s a lot of GREAT prizes! So the sooner you submit your entry, the greater your chances are to receive more votes and select THE prize you want most!

As a reminder, in typical Preparedness Pro fashion, we have a special surprise for ALL entries. There will be no losers in this contest other than the ones who don’t enter. ( We won’t call you a loser anyway–at least not publicly. *grin*)

Official Stuff:

All entries must include your full name city and state and a working e-mail address to be entered. When we post the entries we will only use your initials, and state. But we’ve got to be able to keep this all straight in our records, folks AND we’ve got to be able to communicate with you if you win one of the 37 prizes. Under NO circumstances will your information be shared with anyone outside of our organization and the generous vendor who’s sending you your prize. We believe in absolute privacy here; NOTHING will ever change that.

All submissions MUST BE ORIGINAL content. Our website’s SEO ratings can be harmed if we post unoriginal content at any time, especially if an entire post is plagiarized, even if you are the original author.

No commercialization of any kind can be permitted in your entry. Your writings/message as well as our amazingly supportive vendors get to be the star here, folks. This is not the time for you to try and sell your blog, products, meetings, etc.

We reserve the right to correct typos, egregious grammar issues of your entry. We also reserve the right to censor it for any language that is not congruent with our “PG Rating” or any information that is lacking in veracity. 

Also, we reserve the right to keep or alter the title that you may put on your entry to better reflect the contents of your entry or so as not to duplicate, confuse, or conflict with another entry.

Should you win a prize, your e-mail to use will serve as a final notification of your prize selection. No changes may be made afterwards and no assignment of your prize will be available either. All winning contestants MUST communicate with us within 24 hours of our notification of their winning status in order to not delay the awards to other winning contestants. (see more details below)

HINT: Most people are visual learners. While you don’t need a picture of yourself, it MIGHT be a good idea for you to submit a picture of SOMETHING to go along with your written entry.

While you and your spouse or kids are welcome to enter to win, only ONE winner per household will be awarded.
It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, or how prepared you are, YOU can enter to win. Hey, if you’ve got the cute 4 year old that you think will be a shoe-in to win, Work It, Baby! We’re all about equal opportunity exploitation here. *grin*
