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.

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 dont have a food blog, but love to read them, cook , take photos, and travel. Does that qualify me to enter? What an awesome giveaway.
This food blogger camp certainly sounds like fun!
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…
Wow! I would love to go to Club Med and hang out with you guys
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…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.
Great trip! Amazing photos!
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?
Sounds fantastic! Would love to be there.
Would love such an opportunity! Fingers crossed…

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

Sounds amazing, who wouldn’t love this?
Would love the chance to go!
Sun, sand, and lots of yummy food – that’s my idea of heaven!
Please count me in! Sounds awesome!
Oh, yes! xoxo

Very exciting!!
Fun in January!
What a wonderful chance to meet and learn from some of my favorite fellow food bloggers… Hope to see you there!
I am such a food nut and to be able to be with other food nuts? For free?
Oh PLEASE.
With a book coming out in April, and currently working on my new web site (which will include a blog), blogging camp would be just the thing! ‘Specially at Club Med. Pick me! Pick me!
Ooh, I’d love to win!
Would love to see you there!
Very exciting!

Such a lovely idea to include some lucky person in all the fun – I hope I’m the one!
I am chef/owner of a restaurant called bread & cup and write a food blog. I would love the chance to learn more and improve my writing skills. Sign me up!
You had me at “fish tacos.”
How fun this would be to attend. You all sure will have a lot of entries to wade through though. Yikes.
Count me in!
Ixtapa and the best ever food bloggers? No contest. It is a contest, and if I win I get to join you? Nice!
If you pick me, I’ll read all your blogs every day.

Fun, fun, fun! Please sign me up…

Um, nothing sounds better than food blogging camp in Mexico in January. It’ll probably be -25 here in Montana then!
Throwing my entry into the hat!

What a great opportunity! I would love to win and go!
Thanks for the mouthwatering photos!
Oooh, Diane, you really are amping up the anticipation with your photos of the market…and those amazing fish.
I am grateful to this contest for getting me to appreciate some sites outside my typical stomping grounds.
Oh please random picker gods–pick me!
This is so awesome. Sign me up!
I would LOVE to attend!
This is too exciting – I want to win!
this sounds awesome!!
Great idea and program! I would love to attend.
This sounds like a perfect vacation. I went to this Club Med 20-some years ago and it was a fabulous vacation….
I just realized this is during my birthday. C’mon what better present?
I’d LOVE to go!
This sounds like such a fun trip!
I would love to attend this event!!!
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’ve wanted to go to Zihuatanejo ever since I saw Shawshank Redemption!
What a chance this would be. Fingers crossed!
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!
I would love to come to this event! Even better, I would love to win a ticket to this event!
Fabulous idea, will be a great time.
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.
That sounds indeed like a fabulous seminar – food camp. Great lineup and gooooorgeouuus people!
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!
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. =)
Winning this would be a dream come true. I’d even bring geek glasses for all the speakers
I 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!
The photographs are awesome and so make me want to go!
Me me me!!!
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!
Seriously, this looks like SO. MUCH. FUN. Plus, I live in Boston, so leaving in January to go to Mexico would be freakin’ fabulous.
Sounds like fun!
How fun!!!
I would love to go!
Wow – count me in!! Fingers crossed!!
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. I would LOVE to attend this.
A free trip sounds great!
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!
