  • Blog entries that are commercial in nature will not be accepted. In other words, the submitted post cannot be an attempt to sell a product or service.
  • Content must be family friendly.
  • Carnival editor has final say as to whether a blog entry meets the theme of the month.
  • Carnival editor has final say as to which posts will appear in the Carnival and may have to limit submissions.
  • Submitted blog entries must include a link to the Carnival Invitation for that month.

What is a Blog Carnival?

A blog carnival is similar to a special edition of a magazine. Like a special edition, blog carnivals are collections of blog posts that share a common theme but are written by different authors.

In a blog carnival, a participant writes a post about the carnival's topic. The post links back to a central location where readers can find a list of posts by other bloggers who are taking part in the carnival. Blog carnivals offer readers a chance to discover new blogs. For authors, carnivals offer an opportunity to attract a new audience and build a following.
