Winter time is a great time to cozy up with a good book, and we’d like to encourage all of Rivermoor’s parks and peoples to celebrate their inner (or outer) bookworms with this fun and engaging contest!

How do I participate?

Its super easy!  Each time you complete a book, starting Saturday, November 22nd, fill out the Blue & White Book It! Contest form.  You’ll be asked for some very basic information about the book you just finished, including a 30 second “elevator pitch” about why you would (or wouldn’t) recommend this book to others, and the page count of the book.  Through the reign, be on the lookout for page count totals for each park and reading recommendations from your fellow Rivermoorians.  The park with the highest total of pages read at the end of the reign will be awarded cash-money so you can throw a pizza party in nostalgic Book It! Fashion.

Do I have to be a contributing member?

Nope!  We welcome all readers!

What if I started my book before November 22nd, but finished it after November 22nd?

It counts!  We’d rather have participation versus being fussy about rules!

What if I started my book during the contest, but life got in the way and I couldn’t finish it?

We’re happy to give you an E for Effort!  Total up the pages you’ve read so far, and submit those.  Remember: last day to submit page counts is Saturday, May 16th!

I only listen to audio books.  Do those count?

Absolutely!  Do a quick Google search for “What is the average page count total for <title of book> by <author of book>?” and respond with the answer to that query.  Don’t stress about it.  Again, we’d rather have participation versus being fussy about rules!

Are there any restrictions on types or sizes of books?

No, we want to ensure that all ages and reading levels feel like they are contributing to their park’s success.  Amtgard is, at its core, an honor system and this contest is no different.

What if I don’t like pizza?

What?  Everyone likes pizza!  I don’t understand what you are trying to say!
But seriously… we’ll have you covered with some sweet, sweet swag.
