I am a member of the Class of 2k11, a group of 17 authors whose debut novels launch in 2011 and what you should know about that is that we are running monthly contests over at our website. Click on over to the Class of 2k11, and check it out along with our blog which has fun features like Word on the Street Mondays, Posts by 2k11 Authors on Wednesdays and Mad Lib Fridays. This is a great way to meet some new authors and to learn about new stories in a fun way with prizes! Check out the different contests for January:
NEW CONTESTS
We're excited to introduce our monthly contests:
PICK 3
3 Activities * 3 Contests * 3 Ways to Win
Pick 3 isn't your run-of-the-mill contest. It's a program of activities that are more than simple fun: they're designed to make your life easier if you've got tween or teen groups, book clubs, classes or when it's just you or a group of friends and you're looking for something cool to do. Each month, you can focus on a different activity or do all three. Here are the activities and how they work:
(You can also check out all the details on our
Class of 2k11 website - just click on
'Join Our Street Team' at the top of the page.)
HANDS ON
The Challenge: Get your hands on a copy of one or
more of thefeatured books for the month. Literally!
For a chance to win a prize, just take a picture that shows your hands on the featured title and send it to us at: streetteam@classof2k11.com or post to our Class of 2k11 Facebook page or tweet them at:
@class_of_2k11
Get creative with your hands in your Hands On photos! Paint nails, write messages, draw art, glitter, glue, doodle, shade, jewel up, shape, henna, temporary tattoo, pile on a bunch o' hands...or come up with an idea of your own. But remember - hands only in the picture!

MASHUP MANIA
The Challenge: We supply a list of featured titles each month. Then, you get crazy -- mix and mash until you create a 2k11 title mashup and then write a description about the book!
Never mashed titles before? Here’s a non-2k11 example: The Forest of Hands and Teeth + Going Bovine + Mockingjay = The Forest of Mocking Bovines. But remember—you have to use one 2k11 title in the mashup!
For a chance to win a prize, just send us your creations at: streetteam@classof2k11.com
What titles can you create? Make us laugh or groan. Surprise us, scare us, or just maybe...give us ideas for a new story.
January featured titles for Mashup Mania:
The Mephisto Covenant by Trinity Faegan
The Year We Were Famous by Carole Estby Dagg
With a Name Like Love by Tess Hilmo
Bad Taste in Boys by Carrie Harris
OyMG by Amy Fellner Dominy
For additional info go here.
COVER RE-CREATION
The Challenge: You've seen what professional artists have done with our cover designs. Now, we want to see what you can do! Re-create one of our covers using the computer or design something free-hand.
Let your inner artist loose!

THE PAY-OFF
We'll post a few favorite entries from all 3 contests on our website, and all entries (from all 3 activities) will be entered in a prize drawing. These drawings will be random, so there's no need to worry that your artwork will be judged against others. ( But we will be saving our most very favorite entries for a big prize at the end of the year!)
TWO winners will be chosen each month. First prize is a brand new book from the Class of 2k11. Second prize is a 2k11 ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) specially marked up by the author with insights and info that NO ONE ELSE WILL HAVE. This month we will be giving away:
Book: XVI by Julia Karr
ARC: The Year We Were Famous
by Carole Estby Dagg
And if you need a little extra incentive to get people to participate, we'll send you a little swag pack so that your readers can score a signed bookmark or other goodies for their efforts. Email us at info@classof2k11.com to get one. (While supplies last.)
