This will give us time to make sure that everyone has at least 24 hours notice before the giveaways begin, that you know exactly what time each giveaway will start, that you know what to expect, and that all of the contests on all BBC America platforms are clear and understandable.
Thank you for your patience on this.
BBC America wants to reward you for your Doctor Who cosplay!
With this year’s Comic-Con just around the corner and the upcoming Season 7 of “Doctor Who” marking Amy and Rory’s last adventures with the Doctor, we’ve decided to celebrate in cosplay!
If your closet is chock full of Amy’s signature duds or you have a collection of tweed jackets and a bow tie that would make the Eleventh Doctor proud, you’re the Whovian we are after!
Show off your best cosplay photos of The Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond, Rory Williams or River Song, and enter to win some very cool “Doctor Who” prizes including an Eleventh Doctor replica jacket from Abbyshot. We’ll be selecting the top 5 finalists in each category and present them to the whole wide Whoniverse for voting on July 19….
Click the link above for details and an entry form.
Ok, so because of production deadlines we are moving the deadline up to noon EDT Friday June 29 so that we can make a decision and get it out to the printer in time.
So if you have an idea, make your art, post it to your blog, and tag it ‘behold my whovian masterpiece’. If you don’t have art to submit, go and browse the tag and show your favorites some love with a like or a reblog.

Remember: we’ll pick one to use as the official art for the Doctor Who Tumblr Meetup at San Diego Comic Con this year so enter your own! Deadline is Friday June 29.
There are many more so go and browse the tag ‘behold my whovian masterpiece’ to see the work some of our fellow Whovians have put into their submissions (and ‘like’ their posts while you’re there.)
More info on the meetup coming soon!
Since we have yet to meet a single Whovian who isn’t talented…
Come up with your best design. Post it to your blog. Tag it ‘behold my whovian masterpiece’. On next Friday, June 29th we will pick one winner who’s art will appear on the invitation and giveaways for the meetup!
And just to be clear, we’re not being lazy. We were going to try to make this ourselves, but then we tried to draw Rory Williams and it came out looking like this:
And our friends looked at us like this:
And that’s when we realized that you’re the creative ones!
We’ve been reblogging your fanart and gifs and everything so… YOU SHOULD TOTALLY COME UP WITH THE ART FOR THE DOCTOR WHO TUMBLR MEETUP INVITES AND TOTE BAGS!!!
So do this.
Deadline will be next Friday June 29th!
So we put up a post earlier today stating that we’d eat a Jammie Dodger for every reblog that mentioned how far people lived from the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff. We had four packs of Jammie Dodgers on us so we thought we’d be fine.
At first it was just ten Jammie Dodgers.
And then it was, you know, a few hundred.
So now we need your help making up for all of the biscuits we didn’t eat. Help us eat all the cookies!
Post a photo of yourself eating a cookie. Tag it ‘Whovians Eating Cookies’.
We’ll browse the tag tomorrow at 11:45pm PDT and pick three winners at random to receive a TARDIS mug. And we’re sorry. We’re so so sorry but…
The Tumblr giveaway is only open to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States (including the District of Columbia.)

If you win and you are under 18, you will need a parent or guardian to sign for you.
This beauty came in the mail today: my prize from the Fish Fingers and Custard Day contest! Thank you, Doctor Who Tumblr! I know what I’m doing tonight. :)
Hello!
We’ve got a couple of “My Other Car Is A TARDIS” License Plate Frames to give away, courtesy of the illustrious and hard working folks at BBCAmericaShop!
Grab your markers, pens, photoshops and cameras and draw/shop/sculpt what your own custom Whovian license plate would look like. Post it to your blog, tag it ‘My other car is a TARDIS’ and we’ll pick two winners at random on Sunday, 11pm EDT.
We’ve made some of our own examples above. We should probably note that we don’t actually own a car so we have no idea what a real license plate looks like. But we do know that you can use letters and numbers to write out other words…. So a license plate is like texting for cars, right?
Make it as colorful or detailed as you like.
You don’t have to own a car to enter but there are restrictions per usual:

Between today and tomorrow: take a picture of yourself eating fish fingers and custard. Submit it as a photo reply to this post. Okay, this next part is FOR TUMBLR USERS ONLY: we’re going to pick two photo replies at random to win Doctor Who Series 5 on DVD or Blu-ray and two more photo replies to win River Song’s (blank) Journal all courtesy of the upstanding citizens at BBCAmericaShop!

Ok. It’s time for another holiday giveaway courtesy of Doctor Who Tumblr and BBCAmericaShop!
The last three giveaways were fun — first you made fanart, then you wore holiday sweaters, then you went on a scavenger hunt — now we want you to do something nice…
BBCAmericaShop has these exclusive videos of Matt and Karen answering three holiday questions:
- What is your fondest holiday memory?
- What is the best holiday gift you’ve received?

Matt was excited about giving his dad a watch.
Karen was excited about giving her friend nostril hair trimmers.
We want to know what are you going to do to create a ‘fondest holiday memory’ for a friend or family or neighbor this year?
Will you spend time with a friend you haven’t seen in a while? Cook Christmas breakfast for a parent? Give your little brother or sister a big box of Hanukkah gelt chocolates? Buy someone a combination wristwatch + nostril hair trimmers?
Whatever it is, share it and it just might win you something awesome!
