I've been pounding the proverbial pavement on the hunt for more prizes that we can give away in the IGotNewsForYou.com Writing Contest. If anyone is interested in donating a prize please contact me. Jim Estill is CEO of SYNNEX, a Canadian company that sells about $1,000,000,000 (yes, that's 1 billion) worth of computer products. Jim's an amazing guy with a long history of incredibly successful entrepreneurship. I met Jim (online) through the Carnival of Entrepreneurship, and when I launched the contest he offered up his Time Leadership Audio CD ($19.95 value). As per his blog (which I highly recommend any business folk or entrepreneurs read), the Time Leadership CD is his, "...philosphies and musings on leading SYNNEX Canada, a billion dollar wholesaler of computer equipment. I call it time leadership because of my keen interest in time." So a big thanks to Jim for providing this CD. Lots of people submitting to the contest are budding writers, entrepreneurs trying to break into the writing game, etc. and I think his Time Leadership CD could be a great asset. Plus it's great to have someone that runs a 1 billion dollar company involved with IGotNewsForYou.com. As well, Mark Rayner sent along a bit more detail about the satire books that he donated. Amadeus Net retails for USD $19.95, and The Meanderings of the Emily Chesley Reading Circle retails for $16. In terms of more information on The Meanderings, Mark provided a write-up link. The Meanderings was written by a group called the Emily Chesley Reading Circle, which was "established to further the study of *Emily Chesley*, a long-overlooked Canadian speculative fiction writer of the late-Victorian period, who lived for some time in the London, Ontario region." All cool stuff - thanks again to the people donating prizes, and I hope we'll see more in the collection soon! (Technorati Tags: jim estill, synnex, contest prizes, emily chesley, mark rayner)
