Update to Education Blog Contest

When we announced the Education Blog Contest a few weeks ago, we were expecting to announce winners on August 2nd. However, it looks like we haven’t even gotten close to the minimum of 25 successful entries for the contest to take place.

The blog posts we did read were overall very well done. For every participant in the contest, we’d like to offer a neat consolation prize: a free LearnBoost promotional item. If you’re interested in claiming your prize, email contact@learnboost.com with the subject line “Blog Contest item” and we’ll follow up with more details.

We’re planning on running another contest soon, so stay tuned! And to all the participants, thanks again for your entries.

FAQ:

1) What if I want a different kind of iPhone 4?

Answer: We can also offer you the $199 cash equivalent of your iPhone 4, so you can just purchase whichever model you want.

2) When do you announce winners?

Answer: Submission deadline is July 16, 2010. We will announce winners August 2, 2010. Note: This competition is only valid when we have at least 25 successful entries.

3) Do I have to pay for shipping?

Answer: LearnBoost will pay for your shipping costs for deliveries in the U.S. If you want your iPhone 4 shipped internationally, you must cover this cost yourself.

4) Do I have to pay for my cell service?

Answer: LearnBoost does not pay for your cell phone service. LearnBoost is offering three 16 GB iPhone 4′s at a retail value of $199 when you sign up for your own plan. If you do not sign up for a plan, you are only eligible for a $199 cash equivalent from LearnBoost.

5) When do I get my iPhone?

Answer: The contest winners will be announced August 2, 2010. We do not control the availability of the iPhone 4; once they are publicly available and in stock, we will purchase the phones or offer you a $199 cash equivalent.
