Hurry, hurry , hurry. You must not miss out on the biggest giveaway ever in the history of blogging.
Jaden from SteamyKitchen.com and the kind folks at Club Med hosted a fabulous food blogger event this spring in the Bahamas. Now they’ve overworked themselves over the last few months to organize another amazing food blogger event, but this time, it’s available for everyone to join!
Food Blogger Camp at Club Med in Ixtapa, Mexico will feature workshops focusing on helping you improve and build your blogs to maximum potential. It’s an event open to anyone who is interested in learning more about building a successful blog. Best of all, it’ll be held on the beautiful beachside Club Med location in Mexico, so we can all have our cocktails and study blogging together!
Seminar’s will be presented by: David Lebovitz, Jaden Hair, Michael & Donna Ruhlman, Matt Armendariz, Adam Pearson, Dianne Jacob, Elise Bauer and Us!
Both Todd and I will be giving a seminar on Multimedia and showing everyone all the different ways to amp up your blog, including a step by step production of a video! Here’s what we’ll be sharing:
- Building a Better Blog with Multimedia – Learn how to make your blog more interactive and visually enticing by integrating various forms of Multimedia. With applications such as video, graphics, text, and podcasts, readers will be fully immersed in your content through the virtual multimedia experience. Technologies, softwares and applications will be discussed to give a basic understanding of different options to create all the sensory experiences on your blog. Basic tutorials on creating a video and podcasts will be demonstrated, as well as discussion on basic applications of other multimedia forms. Topics on editing and creating an editing workflow with PC and Mac will also be covered. We’ll do a quick demo of video and audio during the sit-down conference and immediately throw them on the editing bay. Participants will get a quick, but informative idea on how to create a workflow for video and podcast.
You can see the full agenda here at the Club Med Site

This looks like a terrific conference, a great lineup of writers in a wonderful location at the perfect time of year (when everyone needs a little sunshine). As a regional food blogger, covering restaurants in my little town, and hoping to expand and grow as the restaurants here get better and better (as the vineyards grow, so comes the cuisine), I’d love to win and learn. Which I obviously need from that huge run-on sentence wouldn’t you say? Give me a chance and I promise I won’t spend every single day sipping mai tais by the pool, but will actually GO to the conference, lol!
A free trip sounds great!
Wow. I would LOVE to attend this.
I’m sure you know how much I want to do this!
I know not only will it be informative, but it’s going to be fun as well!
Wow – count me in!! Fingers crossed!!
I would love to go!
How fun!!!
Sounds like fun!
Seriously, this looks like SO. MUCH. FUN. Plus, I live in Boston, so leaving in January to go to Mexico would be freakin’ fabulous.
oh my goodness! Having just left student-dom and entered the real world of bills and non-leisure, I’d be ECSTATIC to go on any kind of vacation, much less one I would give my left pinky toe to be a part of!
Me me me!!!
The photographs are awesome and so make me want to go!
Wow, what a contest! Ever since I first saw Jaden tweet about it, I’ve been wishing I could go. It looks like it will be so much fun, and the seminars look like they’re going to be great!
I want to go!
Winning this would be a dream come true. I’d even bring geek glasses for all the speakers
Ooh. Please. Me. Poor graduate student in need of actual sunlight and human contact – plus maybe, somehow, between sunning myself and learning to photograph tequila, I can use the experience in my research. =)
Todd and Diane- You have no idea how badly I would love to win this. Mmmm hmmm. Well, maybe you have some idea. Whatever. I want it and bad. Let’s leave it at that!
That sounds indeed like a fabulous seminar – food camp. Great lineup and gooooorgeouuus people!
OMG! Those photos are beautiful. I’ll dream of winning since I know like a lot of people will try to enter to win. But isn’t it nice to dream? I think so. If I don’t get in, I’ll drool over the photos that you’ve taken.
Fabulous idea, will be a great time.
I would love to come to this event! Even better, I would love to win a ticket to this event!
This is killing me. After a year in Germany I would give my left arm for a trip to Mexico and some fresh Ceviche. Crossing my fingers!
What a chance this would be. Fingers crossed!
I’ve wanted to go to Zihuatanejo ever since I saw Shawshank Redemption!
I would so love this trip as I have have been the #1 food website on Google search for the past 8 years when searching “italian food” but never figured out to make any money from it. I REALLY need help.

I’m a food blogger from IA with a focus on local foods and sustainability, and would love to see what comes out of me from Mexico, especially in such a vibrant community as Ixtapa! The education and enthusiasm from these participants would be just what the doctor ordered for my blog, and my life. Last year’s coverage made me crazy with jealousy. Please please
Also, I’m off for all of January already.
Of all the blogs your pics of club med are the most enticing. Club med is big but not my thing, I like off the beaten track vacas. But come jan i’ll be ready for anything!!!
What an amazing prize – sounds awesome!
Diane, to meet you and your David, plus the other David, Jaden, Elise, Jaden, Matt and the others would be the ultimate experience for a FOODIE and food blogger who is still learning, and would kill for the opportunity to spend time with his favorite culinary heroes. I’ll spring for the first round of drinks if you and David cast your vote in my favor. Thanks so much for your consideration. Mark

as much as i hate to compete with the legions of exited ppl that have commented already… selfishness has kicked in. i would lOVE to go!!
hey i learned about this blog because of the competition, but now i’m sure i’ll be a regular visitor! here’s to winning!!
I need a trip and one to Mexico would let me practice my Spanish.
I don’t know what looks better–the trip or the potential food. Yum
I hope I will win this trip!
Free is all I can afford.
the trip sounds wonderful – the setting, the food, and the people.
would love to win
I would be so glad to join you all that if I won, I’d bring along my super-secret cookie recipes to share. That’s how bad I want to win this trip. Please choose me to come along.

A week with fellow Dragon Fruit lovers? I’m packing my bags now!
Wow! What an awesome opportunity.

Would love such an opportunity! Fingers crossed…
Sounds fantastic! Would love to be there.
I want to attend the seminar. I can’t afford it. Thus, I must win this contest. My logic is inescapable, n’est-ce pas?
Great trip! Amazing photos!
Wow…While the vacation itself would be out of this world (and oh so beautiful to look at), the foodies alone would be such an honor to hang around with. Count this as my entry as I would absolutely love to win. I hope whoever does win is truly grateful for the experience. Good luck to all.
Not only is it exciting to be able to spend time with so many food minded people, but I am hungry already just thinking about the delicious Mexican cuisine!!!
Wow! I would love to go to Club Med and hang out with you guys
Hi. I saw that “The Sweepstakes is governed by the laws of the state of New York. It is void where prohibited, and in any country outside the United States.” Does that mean that it is only open to US residents? Oh, I wish it is not, I would so much like to go… Thank you anyway for the opportunity, this food blogger camp is a GREAT idea. I love the programm, everything seems so interesting…
This food blogger camp certainly sounds like fun!

I think I’m a big smarty pants until I sit down to write for my food blog, and then it’s pretty much a story of fear and loathing. Help! I need some Big Kids to fill me in on how it’s done! http://conbarnwils.wordpress.com/

I am an aspiring food blogger who needs help learning how to photograph food. Your photos are brilliant. Not to mention I have made your Sriracha recipe, and brought it to the 11th annual Beef Party, and it was a huge hit. I would love to learn from you both at the blogger camp. This is an opportunity of a lifetime…
What an amazing contest… I hope I win!
