Win a TARDIS speaker from the Doctor Who Facebook Page.

The Doctor Who Facebook Page has a contest where you can win the TARDIS speaker system we posted about recently:

The TARDIS speaker has landed and brings your sounds to life through wireless, Bluetooth technology!

We have one (RRP: £150) to give away to one lucky winner who can answer the following 5 sound related Who questions.

This competition closes at 23:59 BST on Sunday 2nd June 2013 and is only open to UK and US residents aged 18 years or over. See our full Terms & Conditions (available on the “Rules” tab at the top of the app) for details.

We get asked this question a lot and we always answer it privately but today we thought we’d make this one public.

The reason why we don’t do international giveaways isn’t because we don’t want to but because we’re not allowed to.

Personal Tumblrs do international giveaways all the time.  That’s because they’re, well, personal. They can do whatever they want (including not following through on their promise of giving something away) and they will most likely not get into legal trouble for doing so.

The Doctor Who Tumblr is an official blog which means that we’re bound to the rules of the BBC. In turn, the BBC is bound to the laws of the territories that it operates in.  As a result, coming up with a set of rules for contests and giveaways that doesn’t fall foul of the laws and regulations of every single participating country can be near impossible.

That is why we spend more time doing things like Sonic Sunday, Fan Art Friday, 30 Days of DW memes, and the current Poster Project. These are things that anyone and everyone can participate in because it doesn’t involve “prizes.” And to be honest, we prefer doing these things anyway because they involve and honor Whovians from around the world and that’s a lot more fun.

But this doesn’t mean that we’re not going to try to do a multi-country giveaway. The folks behind the Doctor Who Facebook Page, BBC America, Anglophenia, and this blog have all gotten together to try to solve this problem. While it won’t be tomorrow, please know that we know why international giveaways would be cool and that we we’re actively trying to make this a reality.

Congrats to mangostarburst for winning our autographed poster from Doctor Who: The Snowmen!

Congrats to mangostarburst for winning our autographed poster from Doctor Who: The Snowmen!

So we held a contest this past weekend to give away the centerpiece of the Doctor Who Tumblr office at BBC America: our poster from ‘The Snowmen’ autographed by Matt Smith, Jenna-Louise Coleman, Steven Moffat, and Caro Skinner.

To enter, you had to go out and do something nice for somebody. Nothing about ‘Doctor Who,’ nothing about following or promoing our blog, just something… nice.

After collecting hundreds of posts on Friday and Saturday, the winning post was chosen at random and we finally got confirmation yesterday!

mangostarburst:

Last weekend during my volunteer at the hospital, I was going through the hospital rooms giving out the patient menus for the next day. I got to this one room and inside was this elderly lady. She looked like she was struggling to open something. 

Turns out she was trying to open her fancy lipstick container but couldn’t because she was shaking so badly. So I opened her lipstick and started to talk with her. 

She was so excited because her “one true love” was going to visit her. But she was also so nervous because they couldn’t be together for reasons she did not want to say. Not to mention she was a shaking mess in her hospital bed. 

So I just sat next to her and talked to her for a good 30 minutes before I was called back to the volunteer lounge. But the lady said I was the only person to talk and listen to her that intently. This is why I love volunteering so much¬ making a difference while learning more about the world. ^-^

So congrats, mangostarburst!

While we’re sad to see our poster go, we’re glad it’ll have a home.

Thanks to everyone who’s entered the “It’s nice to do something nice for someone” poster giveaway so far. (Do something nice, post about it, we’ll pick someone at random to win a poster autographed by Matt, Jenna, Steven, and Caro)

We’ve been reading your stories and they’re and sweet and funny and beautiful.

Keep it up!

We’re a little more than two hours away from the UK broadcast of The Crimson Horror and a little more than 6 hours away from the Australian broadcast with the US and Canadian broadcasts soon after so see you soon.

As we mentioned yesterday, we’re giving away our autographed poster from Doctor Who: The Snowmen.

It’s signed by Matt Smith, Jenna-Louise Coleman, Steven Moffat, and Caro Skinner.

To win it, you need to do something nice for somebody you know
on Tumblr or in real life. (Don’t tell them what it’s for. Just do the nice thing.)

1. Post something to your blog explaining or showing what you did and how they reacted.

2. Tag it: “it’s nice to do something nice for someone”

3. Do the nice thing and post about it by Saturday, 8pm EDT.

We’ll pick a post off of this tag at random to win the poster.

This giveaway is only open to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States including the District of Columbia. (We tried opening this up to users beyond the US but there is no way to. Sorry.) Read all of the official terms and conditions here.

If you win and you are under 18, you will need a parent or guardian to sign for you.

Now go do something nice for somebody you know.

And good luck!

So we think we’re going to give away our signed poster from The Snowmen tomorrow…

No wait — we don’t think we’re going to do it. We know we’re going to do it.

UPDATE: the contest post is live!

So we’re going to give away a big poster from The Snowmen signed by Matt Smith, Jenna-Louise Coleman, Steven Moffat, and Caro Skinner tomorrow, Friday.

It’s our prized possession. If we were standing in the market at the Rings of Akhaten, it would be imprinted with the memory of the day they signed it.

We’re not sure what the contest is going to be exactly, but it will probably require you to do something nice for a Whovian friend you admire. The winner will get the poster and the friend will get a prize.

We’re still working out the details.

Expect a post around noon EDT tomorrow. Don’t worry about seeing it then as it won’t close until the 8pm EDT broadcast of Doctor Who on BBC America.

So let’s go!

So we had a bit of fun with our Doctor Who Tumblr Tracked Tags Video today….

We threw a tag in there that didn’t make any sense: ‘secretwhoviantag’

If you were curious and looked for it, you would have found a post on our newly created (and soon to be deleted) secretwhogiveawayblog.

And if you were among the first five Whovians to follow the instructions,  you would have won a little something (courtesy of BBCAmericaShop.)

We’ll be doing more of these in the near future so follow the Doctor Who, Orphan Black, and BBC America blogs for the next one (it may pop up on any one.)

And keep being clever.

This is the Doctor Who Tumblr Tee Tuesday Giveaway.

It has come to our attention that despite the hundreds of posts on today’s Tee Tuesday tag, people need more Doctor Who t-shirts in their wardrobes.

So we’re doing a giveaway.

Two Doctor Who t-shirts — one for you and one for a friend of yours on Tumblr.

Reblog this post with the Tumblr url of the person you would share this with (they MUST have a Tumblr.) For example, if we were going to share this with the BBC America blog we’d put ‘bbcamerica.tumblr.com’ in our reblog. (But we can’t because we’re both blogs and blogs don’t wear t-shirts. Blogs wear Tumblr themes. And avatars.)

We’ll pick one winner at random and notify you via your Tumblr ask.

A few rules:

Only one reblog per blog (any additional entries will be sent into the Void.)

We’re sorry. We’re so sorry but this Tumblr giveaway is only open to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States including the District of Columbia. Read all of the official terms and conditions here.

If you win and you are under 18, you will need a parent or guardian to sign for you.

Contest ends tomorrow, Wednesday (Feb 27th) evening at midnight (Wednesday into Thursday.)

And HUGE thank you to the fine folks at BBCAmericaShop for donating two shirts to this worthy, worthy cause.
