			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’ve been wanting to do this for a looong time now, and it’s finally here &#8212; our first blog contest!</p>
<p>It took some time to hoodwink someone into donating a prize, but we finally found <a href="http://blog.compassion.com/author/ambervanschooneveld/" title="Read posts written by Amber">Amber</a>. </p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.group.com/hopelives/"><img border="0" align="right" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="http://blog.compassion.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/hopelives.jpg" alt="fight-poverty-hope-lives" width="155" height="230" class="size-full wp-image-389" /></a>Well, we knew where Amber was the whole time, so the truth is that we finally thought to ask her to donate autographed copies of her two books, <a target="_blank" href="http://store.grouppublishing.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?item=602966&#038;section=16407" title="Buy a copy if you don't win the contest"><em>Party Divas</em></a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://store.grouppublishing.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?item=1564190&#038;section=16522/" title="Give it as a gift if you don't win the contest"><em>Hope Lives</em></a>.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the gist of the contest?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Write a blog post describing how &#8220;hope lives&#8221; in your life.</li>
<li>Link back to this post in your post.</li>
<li>Leave us a comment, including a link to your blog, so we know you&#8217;re participating.</li>
<li>If you don&#8217;t have a blog, you can still participate. Just tell us how &#8220;hope lives&#8221; in your life by commenting on this post.</li>
<li>We&#8217;ll choose three finalists.</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll pick a winner from the three finalists.</li>
</ul>
<p>Simple. Right?</p>
<p>Oh, one other thing. Write your &#8220;hope lives&#8221; post by Tuesday, November 11. Voting will be between November 12 and 15, with the winner announced on Monday, November 17.</p>
<p>Hmmm. Guess that was really three things. <img src='http://blog.compassion.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
