As many of you know, Classic Movie Hub is a labor of love for me, one that I launched about five or so years ago… It started out as my final project for a web development course I took at NYU (it was just a one-page site at that time) – and has since grown quite a bit (may I say that’s an understatement?). For me, it’s been an extremely exciting adventure that has allowed me to pursue my passion, learn an awful lot — and (truly) meet wonderful like-minded fans and bloggers, many of which I now count among my friends! Not to mention the fact that it’s mind-boggling to think that we now have over 800K Facebook fans, 65K Twitter fans and 40K Pinterest fans — and that’s all thanks to you – the wonderful and passionate Classic Movie Community! (I know, I said ‘wonderful’ too many times, but that’s how I feel…)

That said, for this contest, I’d like to try something a little different… something to try show my gratitude to all our CMH fans and followers — and to celebrate our new featured columnists who are contributing monthly articles for the site…

Here’s how the giveaway will work:

This past summer, we added a new feature to CMH — new monthly columns, each with a niche classic film theme, authored by some of the best writers in the classic film community. To better acquaint you with these fabulous writers and to show them some fan love in return, this contest asks you to read as many of these featured posts as you can and leave a comment of feedback for each of those you’ve read. For every comment submitted, you get an entry into our contest. The more comments you give, the more chances you have to win!

We are calling the contest Give a Gift, Get a Gift… The gift you’re giving is the gift of time by reading and commenting on the post(s)… The gift you’re getting is an entry (or entries) into the contest… As for me, to show my appreciation for your participation, I have tried to put together some nice prize packages — and all of the DVDs have been purchased by me (they were not supplied by any outside company)…

The weekly and Grand Prize drawings:

The contest will run from now through December 23, 2017, 8PM EST. In order to qualify to win one of these prizes via this contest giveaway, you must read and comment on as many of the featured posts as you want (links below).

  • Only one comment per post/article is counted as an entry.
  • Each comment must be positive, and must be more detailed than simply “great post!” Some good examples:

  • Spammers (i.e. using bots to make generic comments) are ineligible.
  • Updates will be posted on CMH social media channels on a regular basis.
  • Each winner will be notified by email or Twitter and will have 48 hours to respond with their shipping information or a new winner may be chosen. If any Prize or Prize notification is returned as undeliverable, the winner may be disqualified, and an alternate winner may be selected.
