Fight cell phone abuseWord Sell is excited to announce a blog contest where you can win from $50 to $500 by writing a post about cell phone users … and abusers.

Rules

Topic. The topic is Cell Phone Users and Abusers. What cell phone behavior drives you crazy? What strange cell phone experiences have you had? How are cell phones (or “mobiles”) helping society … or hurting it? These are the topics we’d like to explore. (Please keep your posts G-rated.)

Deadline. All contest posts must be published on or before Friday, December 5.

Submission. Please include a link to this post in your entry. Please leave a comment with a link to your entry on this post as well – it’s the best way to make sure I don’t miss anything.

Prizes. There are EIGHT prizes in all for a total pot of $1000. We will have ONE $500 winner, THREE $100 winners, and FOUR $50 winners. Winners will be selected RANDOMLY on Monday, December 8.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
My client, Dr. Mike O’Malley, has written a wonderful book called Cell Hell – 55 Cell Phone Users You’d Like to Silence. In an effort to promote his book, he’s generously agreed to put up the money for this blog contest. Mike is a wonderful guy and he is passionate about using cell phones for good rather than not-so-good.

If you’re looking for a great Christmas stocking stuffer, gag gift, or coffee table book, Cell Hell is it. You can get a preview on his site – the photos and humorous commentary should give you a chuckle. And if you don’t recognize yourself or someone you know … well, you’re not getting out enough.

Note – Books can be shipped in any quantity within the continental U.S. For bulk shipments outside the U.S., please contact Mike.

JOIN THE CAUSE – STEAL THE BADGE
We should all do our part to encourage cell phone civility! Whether you participate in the contest or not, please steal the Fight Cell Phone Abuse badge for your blog post and sidebar.
