Film Gecko is part of the larger b5media network of blogs, which is teaming up for a 24-hour blog-a-thon to support Accion International and The Actor’s Fund.
The Great b5media Blog Off will begin on June 20th at 12:01 am (in each writer’s respective time zone), in celebration of the Summer Solstice. For the first time since 1975, this intergalactic event occurs on June 20th rather than June 21st. What a great opportunity to throw a cyber-party and help out some great charities!
More after the jump, including a contest…
Writers from the b5media Business and Entertainment channels will be posting fresh news at least once per hour for a full 24 hours.
The Entertainment channel will be supporting The Actor’s Fund, a charity that helps in-need professionals in performing arts and entertainment. Check out the Business Channel Blog Off here.
How to Help:
You can support this fabulous charity writing marathon in two ways: donate a post, or donate money.
- Donate a Post - Be a guest writer on any of the participating Entertainment sites. You can contribute an article to help meet the once-per-hour 24 article goal for the day.* A list of participating sites is below, as well as contact information.
- Donate Money - Make a difference by supporting The Actor’s Fund. One-time donations in any amount are encouraged, but we’re also suggesting a pledge of $1 per post written on the Entertainment Channel or $10 to sponsor a participating blog. You can securely donate money here.
A Contest!
As an added incentive, you’ll be entered to win $30 with each article you submit to a blog participating in the Blog Off.* There are two $30 prizes up for grabs!
Participating Entertainment Sites:
The following sites are participating in the Great Blog Off. You can sponsor their efforts by donating to The Actor’s Fund at any time, and/or by emailing them to submit a guest post for the blog-a-thon.
Ok, Gecko-ites, let’s get busy! Feel free to email me at the address above or jboursaw@charter.net with any blog post ideas swimming around in your head. We can do this!
*Your article must meet minimum quality standards of 2 paragraphs to be posted. The article should be relevant news (not already covered), an opinion piece, a fan column, a trivia question, or other on-topic article related to the show(s) or in Film Gecko’s case, the film industry.
