AnimeShinbun May Contests

20d ago ... Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good Easter break. =) I'll be updating this post over the weekend with the prize winners from last month (since it'll take me a while to go through everyone's contributions to figure out how entries will be weighted on the contributor contest), but I figured you'd want to get the details of this month's contests as soon as possible. ;) So with this mont...

AnimeShinbun April Contests

48d ago ... Hey everyone! Well, now that April Fools Day is over, I guess it's safe for me to crawl out of my cave. ^^;; Been a while since I last posted one of these. Since February, in fact. With my sickness at the start of March, there just didn't seem any point in posting one when we were already well into the month. But...that doesn't mean we don't have prizes for people from March to distribut...

AnimeShinbun February 2012 Contests

104d ago ... Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a good month.

There's a possibility that we may not be able to award any prizes for that one, depending on what exactly we've g...

Happy New Year from AnimeShinbun

140d ago ... Happy New Year Everyone! Just to let you all know, I'm about to take a one week holiday with the family to a beach resort in Costa Rica, as a bit of a celebration of my one year wedding anniversary. ;) Because of that, the results for the holiday contests apart from the 12 Days (which have already been announced), may be delayed about a week or so while I get some things in order here. I'll...

AnimeShinbun 12 Days of Christmas Contest 2011 - Day 12

142d ago ... Hello everyone and welcome to the final day of our 12 Days of Christmas Competition.

So, before we get into today's question, it's time for me to go over those!...

202d ago ... Hi everyone! It's been a while, hasn't it? After the disappointing level of participation in our August (no entrants) and September (1 entrant) contests, we took a little break from contests over October to do a little brainstorming on how we could get more people involved again.

AnimeShinbun September 2011 Contests

254d ago ... Hi everyone! Sorry for this coming out so late into the month. Things have been a bit crazy around here of late. ^^;; (When are they ever not?) I've yet to see any actual entries for the August contest submitted. I'm not certain if that's due to a lack of actual referrals, or because people weren't sure what they should do to confirm those referrals. Because of that, I'll give a graace pe...
