In celebration of Adopt A Blogger #3, I am having a little giveaway for all the Newbie Food Bloggers.

Adopt a Blogger is hosted by Kristen over at Dine and Dish. To explain Adopt a Blogger, I will let Kristen do it in her own words…

"Having a mentor to turn to when you want to learn something new, improve upon what you are currently doing, or just share an experience with someone is so important. That is why I created Adopt a Blogger in the first place a few years ago. It seemed like so many of us had talent and skills we could share with others, but there wasn’t any formal way for us to do that."

So…in a nutshell, Veteran Food Bloggers adopt a Newbie blogger and mentor them through all of the wonderful craziness that is Food Blogging.

One of the most major expenses we have as Food Bloggers is a camera to capture our creations. I would like to extend this mentoring a step further by offering a beginners photography package to one lucky Newbie Blogger.

I’m giving away a Kodak Easyshare C813 Digital Camera, a 2 GB SD card and a table top tripod. (retail value of $119.00)

Camera details: 8.2 megapixel, ultra compact digital camera. 3X optical zoom, anti-shake mode, HD still capture, ISO up to 1250, Macro focus (great for food shots!) 16 scene modes and movie mode.

I do know that space was limited this time around due to having more "Newbies" than "Veterans". This giveaway is for all of the Newbies that signed up to participate in Adopt a Blogger #3. It doesn’t matter if you were adopted or not. The qualification requirements are the same for this giveaway as they are for Adopt A Blogger #3….

" Newbies are food bloggers who have a blog that has been up for a year or less. If you are just starting out, you must have had at least 1 month worth of consistent posting on your blog."

All of the Newbies that signed up for Adopt a Blogger can enter today’s giveaway! Please leave a comment on this post and tell us what you enjoy most about Food Blogging.

A winner will be chosen by the Number Generator on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009. If the person chosen by the Generator meets the Newbie requirements you will be the lucky owner of a new point and shoot digital camera and accessories.

In the event that the blogger does not meet the requirements, another number will be generated until a winner is found.

Good luck to all of the Newbies! We hope that for the next Adopt a Blogger that you will have Veteran status and be adopting a Newbie yourself!
