Tutorial9 Presents: The Gift of Knowledge GIVEaway!
Give the Ultimate Gift this Holiday Season
The Gift of Knowledge GIVEaway is all about giving and celebrating the knowledge and experiences we all bring to the design and blogging community.
This year, give the ultimate gift. When you participate in Tutorial9′s first annual giveaway, you have a shot at winning some incredible prize packages (Over $5,000 in prizes!)… You’re also helping children in need all around the world.
Share Your Knowledge. Win Cool Stuff. Save the Children.
For every accepted entry in the Gift of Knowledge GIVEaway, $100 is being donated to the Save the Children organization, the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world
All you have to do is write a post to be published on Tutorial9. It can be a tutorial, a resource you’ve created, a roundup of your favorite design books, or an article related to one of our topics at Tutorial9. Simply share your experience and knowledge with our readers, win some awesome prizes, and $100 is donated to charity.
That’s It?
Yup.
There are of course some basic rules to help you understand what exactly is acceptable, but you get the gist of things. Look at this like a community effort at giving back to the world. Together we can all learn from one another, make an impact in the lives of children, and all have a lot of fun while we do it.
Our Goal is to donate $5,000 as a community to charity this year.

Flag as inappropriateI really find this idea as extraordinary as the one that yielded to open source. I say hurray! to all of you who make Tutorial9 possible. I’ve learned a lot and I encourage anybody to use it.
I have a weblog in Spanish and I published an entry about your GIVEaway. Anyone knowing Spanish can translate it to you. Please cisit http://dialogos.pideundeseo.org/sociedad/las-grandes-ideas-son-de-todos/
Flag as inappropriateThis is really a great way to make money for charity
I want to know though, are the prizes given out raffle style were each entry submitted increases the chance someone has to win or is it decided by the tutorial9 staff?
Flag as inappropriateNice to see something like this put together! Great idea and very good prices!
Flag as inappropriateThanks folks — I’m really looking forward to seeing what the design and blogging community can put together :) Let’s make this a huge success!
Flag as inappropriateBrilliant idea, I’ll see if I can get something together. Nice one David and everyone involved.
Flag as inappropriateWow David! This is an excellent idea with a great outcome for everyone. Hopefully we can meet the goal of $5,000 charity and get some great content published. I look forward to seeing how people contribute.
