A couple of weeks ago my dogs let me know about this contest… they said that our backyard needed some help! My submission was excepted and the contest has started. The Arizona Daily star is having a contest! http://azstarnet.upickem.net/engine/Welcome.aspx?contestid=2112 They will do a customized makeover valued at $30,000, including backyard design, recreational landscaping, outdoor kitchen, rock and water features, and more….everything you can imagine to complete your backyard oasis. You will need to register to vote but their ‘Terms and Conditions’ states that… End User’s individual privacy is protected. Additionally there’s a check box that says ‘Please don't give out my email to any other third parties or send me any email other than those that I may have checked elsewhere on this page.” I do not receive the paper and I have not got any spam from them at all and I’ve been registered with azstarnet for years. You can use this link to vote for my submission! http://azstarnet.upickem.net/engine/Details.aspx?PageType=VOTING&ContestID=2112&SubmissionID=100048&IncrementNumber=1#SubmissionDisplay Or you can search by azaudra in the ‘Goto’ drop down box. Would you vote for my yard please? If you can help that would be great since I know I’ll need all the votes I can get. You can vote daily!!!
