Grand Re-Opening of AboutCoolBooks!
AboutCoolBooks is back! Hooray! Who's excited to get back to reading awesome books, posting cool projects, and getting tons of points? I know I am!
The fall contest is beginning TODAY! It will be from August 26 to November 26. You have three months to do as many projects as you want. So get your books out because it's time for three months of awesomeness.
Important: Since AboutCoolBooks has been sleeping for a while, it's important that you go back and read through all the rules and information to remind yourself of what you have to do. Also read through all the awesome projects and see how many points you can get for each one. There are lots of awesome art projects that you'll probably have lots of fun doing.
One more thing. To make this season of AboutCoolBooks a whole lot more awesome, we are going to have Bonus Days. On Bonus Days, any projects you do or comments you write will earn you DOUBLE the amount of points they are usually worth. On those days, I will also be posting some projects to give you an idea of what you're supposed to do. The first Bonus Day will be on August 31.
Have fun!
