Teens 13-18 will be logging minutes.

There will be weekly prize drawings for anyone who logged at least 30 minutes the previous week.
-
For example, if you read and logged 5 minutes every day from June 3rd - June 9th, you would qualify for the drawing on June 11th.

Paper logs must be turned in by Saturday (of the logging week). So if the drawing is on June 11th, the paper logs must be turned in by June 8th.

There will be 7 weekly drawings.

At the end of the contest, the top Teen reader (most minutes logged) will win a $100 Amazon Gift Card.
