New to TV participating in The Great Blog Off
New to TV will be joining several other Entertainment channels in b5media’s The Great Blog Off on Friday, June 20.
The Great b5media Blog Off will begin on Friday June 20 at 12:01am (in each writer’s respective time zone), to celebrate the summer solstice, which hasn’t occurred on any date other than June 21 since 1975 - this year it lands on June 20.
Writers for many of our sites (including New to TV!) will be posting fresh news at least once per hour for a full 24 hours.
As a charity event, the Entertainment channel will be supporting The Actors Fund, professionals in performing arts and entertainment when they are in need.
On New to TV, the Great b5media Blog Off will begin on Friday, June 20 at 12:01 a.m. (CST). Basically, we will be blogging for 24 hours straight! But … I need your help!
How can you help?
You can support this charity writing marathon (while enjoying the mega posts!) in two ways: donate a post, or donate money.
1. Donate a Post - be a guest writer on any of the participating Entertainment sites. You can contribute an article to help meet the once-per-hour 24 article goal for the day.* A list of participating sites is below, as well as contact information.
2. Donate Money - you can help make a difference by supporting The Actor’s Fund. One-time donations in any amount are encouraged in any amount, but we’re also suggesting a pledge of $1 per post written on the Entertainment Channel or $10 to sponsor a participating blog. Information on how to donate will be provided closer to the Blog Off date.
A contest for you!
As an added incentive to help us raise money for The Actors Fund in the Entertainment channel, you will be entered to win $30 with each article you submit to a blog participating in the Blog Off.* There are two $30 prizes to be won!
Need some ideas for guest posts? That’s coming up next!
