This looks fabulous Sam! As always, you amaze and delight. I'm sorry I didn't get to the donating in time, but I hope to make up for it in raffle tickets.
Thank you for always being inspirational.

thanks everyone.
anon - sorry you don't like it.
just click in the space and you will get taken to the sites anyway - you don't really have to catch the picture, I just made it seem that way for a bit of fun.
I wanted day one of the campaign here on the west coast to be a voyage of discovery. I didn't want any of my hosts to be discrimnated against because their prizes perhaps didn't sound as glamourous as another's.
I wanted everyone to have an equal chance for visitor referrals from my site which is I set it up in this more mysterious, random way.
Additionally, I wanted the campaign to unfold a little, to grow. I didn't want to give everyything away on the first day. That would be like getting unclothed on a first date. Let's leave a little time here for some slow seduction first.
By the end of the campaign if all goes according to plan I will have covered every West Coast prize in full explanatory detail, but for now please be patient and kind with me. I didn't have too much of a weekend or much sleep last night to put this thing together. There is more behind the scenes work going on than you can ever imagine to pull this off.
thank you.

One question I have is "Will my contribution be deductible on my United States taxes?" Information at the IRS website implies that the answer is NO. Topic 506 - Contributions says this: "Contributions you cannot deduct at all include contributions made to specific individuals, political organizations and candidates, the value of your time or services and the cost of raffles, bingo, or other games of chance. You cannot deduct contributions that you give to qualified organizations if, as a result, you receive or expect to receive a financial or economic benefit equal to the contribution."
I'm not a tax expert, so if there are any reading this, perhaps they can chime in. And I have no idea how contributions to this event count in other nations.

I love this! I don't know how you come up with all these innovative ways of displaying photos (I don't even know how to make a basic photo collage). I like the idea of a slow seduction. Thank you, too, for all the incredible work you're putting into hosting the West Coast - the largest contingent of bloggers - when you're so busy.

thanks fior the supportinve words.
anonymous - regarding your tax questions - since this is a global event with entrants from many countries, I would suggest that anyone with these kinds of questions should probably contact a tax advisor in their own country.
catherine - yes the 22nd - I have asked Pim to give me an exact time stamp.
brett - considering my job I should know how to make fancy pictures eh?

Sam, I'm participating in Europe, but I have to say I haven't seen an answer to this question: Can prize donors also bid on other prizes??? I am literally salivating at some of the other prizes and would love to give (more).

Sam, you are quite amazing. I have no idea how you've done this, but I wish I lived closer to you so you could teach me to do some of these things! Bravo!

Ms A - yes of course - you can bid on anything you like - but be careful because some items have restricted shipping. I asked everyone on the West Coast to list their shipping restrictions and unfortunately many but not all are restricted to the USA.
You will need to read each one and see. I am sure you will find some great ones that will ship anywhere.
Kalyn - thanks - I have to admit this method is a little bit advanced - you have to tremember that I have animation experience in my job!

"Any person, firm, or corporation proposing to engage in any game, contest, or other promotion or advertising scheme or plan in which a retail establishment offers the opportunity to receive gifts, prizes, or gratuities, as determined by chance, in order to promote its retail business, where the total announced value of the prizes offered to the general public is in excess of five hundred dollars ($500), must file a statement with the secretary of state."

Hi Anon - I don't think we have retail establishments, just private indivisuals giving it their all.
