Update: Task #2 is now LIVE. Task #1 is now closed. Thank you for entering, and good luck!

As promised, today marks the beginning of our 32GB WiFi Apple iPad giveaway. We’re going to do this one progressively, as in each day the contest will get progressively better because we’ll add additional applications or accessories to the prize package.

Sounds great, right?

So as of today, the package consists of the iPad on its own, valued at $599 plus tax.

There will be a new post every day listing all of the accumulating items in the prize package, and each day’s post will have a task for you to complete.

Your entry will consist of a comment under the particular day’s post showing that you have completed that particular day’s task.

The contest will run for seven full days, and you will have up to seven chances to enter.

But here’s the deal:

Seven days

Seven chances to enter

On the eighth day one editor will randomly pick ONE of the seven days to choose a winner from.

And if you entered on the day which gets randomly picked, then you are among the few who will have a chance to be randomly picked the winner of everything (by another editor) from that chosen day’s contestants.

If you don’t play every day, then you lose a MAJOR opportunity to win.

Got it?

Now here is the first task. Complete it, and then report back by posting a comment showing that the task has been completed.

TASK #1:  Get a Twitter account, and then Tweet the following phrase exactly as written here -

I am entered to win a 32GB iPad & MORE from @geardiarysite http://bit.ly/bCBDr8 #geardiaryipad

After tweeting, post a short comment mentioning your Twitter name and that you tweeted the phrase; even better, provide a permalink back to your tweet. (You can get the permalink by clicking the time under your tweet on the Twitter site)

The Rules, AKA the Small Print

1. Everyone has seven chances to enter.

2. Entries consist of a comment under the particular day’s post showing that you have completed that particular day’s task.

3. The contest will run for seven days starting April 7 and ending on April 13. Each Task runs from noon Central Time the day it is published until noon CT the following day; at that time the following day, comments and pingbacks will be turned off of the previous day’s task.

4. On April 14, an editor will randomly pick ONE of the seven days to choose a winner from; if you entered on the day which gets randomly picked, then you are among the few who have a chance to be randomly picked the winner of everything (by another editor) from that chosen day’s contestants.

5. There will be ONE prize package awarded ,which will consist of  a 32GB WiFi Apple iPad, various software applications and accessories to be announced progressively and daily.

6. This contest is open to everyone, all over the world. Any import fees or duties will be the responsibility of the winner; I will pay your postage and insurance (if available), but I will not lie about the value of the contents on any customs forms.

7. You do not have to enter every day to win, nor do you have to complete every task; but your odds of winning are greatly improved if you do each day’s task.

8. I will contact the winner on April 14 through the email tied to the winner’s registered Gear Diary account. The winner will have 24 hours to respond with their real name and shipping address, or another winner will be chosen. I will post the time that the winner was contacted in a separate post on Gear Diary, which will later be updated with the winner’s name once there is a response.

If you have any questions, please email me.
