​February 2023 Virtual Book Festival
The Author Fingerprint Casebook Contest

Attend Each Night and Be A Witness To The Mystery and Mayhem!

Here's How The Contest Works:  Invite your friends,  acquaintances, complete strangers, and anyone else you can think of to attend the nightly events.  There is a space in the registration form where they will enter your name.  When they do this, you collect Fingerprints (points) that will be added to the Chalk Outline.  (see below). 

At the end of the month, the Author Detective who comes closest to completing the Chalk Outline will win the trophy.  It's super easy.  Each day, I'll post a Fingerprint Progress Report on Facebook and on this page so you'll all know how you're doing.   Visit often to keep track of your progress throughout the month.

How To Collect BONUS Fingerprints: For each event you attend in support of another Author... complete the registration form with BOTH OF YOUR NAMES in the "Who Invited You" space.  When you do this, BOTH OF YOU WILL COLLECT
​ TWO BONUS FINGERPRINTS for that night.  So, be sure to support your fellow Author Detectives, and attend as many event nights as you can!

But, be careful... remember, this is a crime scene, which means that if fingerprints are lifted or somehow vanish the night of the event, they won't count. 

[That's detective speak for, Yes, registrants must be present in the Zoom room to win prizes and for Authors to Collect Fingerprints... I will be validating the attendance before I award Bonus Fingerprints.]
