No problem! I've also made the first official entries (unless someone beat me to it!)

Thanks for the great give-aways and promotions, Addict. This is already a wonderful website, but the extras are always a nice surprise!

Only 2 days left to enter - this ends at 12pm EST Tomorrow (Friday).

If you are a teacher and haven't submitted yourself - it is very easy, and we do not use your info after we give the prize away (we in no way sell or give your info to anyone - it is strictly used to distribute the prizes and then disposed of).

Good luck to everyone!

Found it. I nominated one of the Astronomy Club teachers because if they can't use it in the club, he also has an Ecology class.

This giveaway is over and we have selected 2 people. As soon as I verify that they are indeed teachers, I will announce them.

To select our winners I have written a script that randomly selects 5 records from our database of entries. Then it will randomly put those 5 in order from 1 to 5. 1 and 2 will win if they are indeed teachers, if not then I will go to 3 and check their teacher status, and so on. If these 5 do not provide both winners then I will run it again, and start at #1 for however many teachers are still needed.

I do it this way for randomness, and I have a suspicion that several entries were not teachers - so I will manually verify all selections prior to giving away the prizes.

We didn't have a whole lot of entries - so everyone that entered has a good chance. Good Luck!

Addict.

As it turns out - I was able to confirm the teacher status of our winners by their schools' websites, so here they are:

Kamala S. - Highlands Ranch, CO.
Rhonda D. - Gilbert, AZ.

Congratulations! Your Planet Earth DVD set is on it's way! And thanks to all that entered!
