ArcaMax Publishing Announces Third Holiday Contest Winner

Bernadette Polansky of Caldwell, TX is the third winner of a $40 Amazon gift certificate from ArcaMax Publishing.

Bernadette is one of many ArcaMax subscribers who sent in a favorite holiday recipe to share with other readers. Her entry, a recipe for pork roast, will be featured on the ArcaMax website, as well as in the company's popular Recipes e-mail newsletter (or ezine). The full recipe can be found at http://www.arcamax.com/cgi-bin/news/story/1036/36983/118703

ArcaMax Publishing's Holiday Idea Contest is now in the third week of its five-week run. The contest, which ends the Wednesday before Christmas, offers readers like Bernadette a chance to share their tips, crafts, and recipes with other ArcaMax subscribers. In addition, everyone who sends a tip is entered into a drawing for one of five Amazon gift certificates.

"Our Recipes section is very popular," says Scott Wolf, CEO of ArcaMax Publishing. "People like reading our chefs' recipes, but they're also enjoying these ideas from their fellow readers. They like that personal touch, especially around this time of year."

The Holiday Idea section contains more than forty published tips - just a few of the many ArcaMax has received since the promotion started on November 16. The section supplements the main holiday feature, which contains even more holiday tips. The Recipes section has holiday dishes covering everything from the perfect turkey to what to do with the leftovers. For advice outside the kitchen, there's consumer news covering the shopping season, as well as tips for decorating and safety around the house.

For those looking to give a little more, there's also information on charities and toy drives around the country. Readers looking for something on the lighter side can read fun facts about Christmas in other parts of the world, as well as trying out trivia quizzes and vocabulary games.

Wolf adds, "We took a great deal of time creating this section to be fun and informative, but a lot of that is coming from the readers themselves. Their enthusiasm is what's making this special section work so well."

The contest runs until December 23rd, with a new winner chosen every Wednesday. Each winner will receive a $40 gift certificate to Amazon.com, as well as the chance to have their idea published in one or more of ArcaMax's many online publications.
