I guess I will give this a try.

Go to the active giveaways threads and enter there. They are legit. I just won a gift card from @WestCoastCorals in one of the latest giveaways and used it in their livesale yesterday.

Go to the Giveaway's & Contests link and click on the active giveaways. Post #1 (usually from @Daniel@R2R or @revhtree ) will have the entry instructions. There's going to be an official entry and then bonus entries. Make a separate post for each entry you do - official entry first. Good luck!

R2R Giveaway and Contest Forum

This is where we will announce all giveaways and contest!

Edit: the posts in the top "sticky" area are usually the active giveaways but the end dates will be listed in the rules of the post, typically near the end.

We like to give away stuff here at Reef2Reef and I know you like to win it! We have learned a few things over the years and to help improve on what we are learning I wanted to create a thread as we go along. So keep an eye out for updates.

1. Winners outside the US will be required to pay for the shipping of prizes won.

2. Winners who win a certain prize will not be eligible again to win that same prize within a 1 year period. *exception for supporting member giveaway (see rule 5) or where otherwise stated in the contest rules.

3. Winners who post a thread with photos about their prize and the sponsor who donated the prize will be eligible for a special annual giveaway contest. (more details to come) https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/r2r-contest-and-giveaway-winners-circle-thread.103002/

4. Only US residents are eligible for livestock giveaways.

5. Winners of the Supporting members giveaway are not eligible to win again for 3 months.

6. Winner responsible for all applicable taxes as determined by your state of residence.

7. Unless otherwise stated in the opening post of a contest, we (either Reef2Reef staff or the sponsor of the contest) will choose the winner via a random number generator. The winner's username will be tagged in the winning announcement. We will not email, pm, or contact the winner other than tagging the winning name. Be sure to check back to claim your prize. If it is not claimed within 3 days we will do a re-pick and so on until the prize is claimed.

It sounds good

Quick question, if I enter the Avast caption contest and win the jerky, am I still eligible to enter again the next time, for a chance at the grand prize?

@Daniel@R2R , @revhtree , I've been wondering about this myself and couldn't find an answer. When a contest has more than one prize, how does rule #5 work? I've already put myself on a 3 month Reef2Reef Site Supporter Giveaway blackout but was still curious.
Also, how about if we win one of the secondary prizes but we already have that. Can we put it back up for redraw without having rule #5 imposed upon us?

You're just not eligible to win the same prize. In a contest with diverse prizes, you can still win one of the other prizes. The way this works practically is that as I'm drawing names, I already know what prize we're drawing for, so in the event that a name is drawn that isn't eligible, I would draw for another name. HTH

Thanks for the clarification.
