Contest Questions & Answers
---------------------------------

Q: I am only on Facebook and NOT on Twitter, how can I enter?

A: I am sorry as of now this is only for Twitter users but you can click the SHARE link above in my first post which will share this thread on your Facebook wall and inform your friends about the contest in case they use Twitter. Last month was our Facebook contest. I couldn't find an easy way in order to manage and track Facebook Entries in this contest.

-----------------------

Q: If I tweet it more than once do I get multiple entries?

A: No, only one entry per person BUT it is greatly appreciated if you tweet it again every few days or so in case some of your followers missed the contest tweet the first time around. This will help support Pixtus and be a great helping in spreading our name out there.

-----------------------

Q: If I win, does the gift card have to be spent on one item that is exactly $1,000?

A: No, the gift card can be used toward any number of items you would like but it must be spent at B&H Photo. Say for instance you want a Canon 7d body and its selling for $1,600 and you win the grand prize ($1,000) and you're a registered Pixtus member ($100) you'll have a total prize of $1,100. So that $1,100 will apply towards the cost of the camera as such $1,600 - $1,100 = $500 + S&H which will be your difference that you pay out of pocket. Not bad huh?

I can do a lot with a grand.
Carbon Fiber Tripod, or a Canon 100mm L Macro lens, put some towards a new bag.
All through the Pixtus B&H link of course.

Link your twitter to your FB BEFORE you tweet the contest or it won't show on FB. I deleted my tweet and redid it once I had them linked.

Ditto, I would get my parents a tripod and L-plate, so they can stop using mine :)

If i were eligible I would apply it towards a Canon 50 f1.2L so I dont feel guilty buying it.. lol
