All you have to do is send a photo containing one or more of Diana Gabaldon's books, along with a brief description, to contest@outlandishobservations.com. Please use the subject line "OUTLANDER Photo Contest", and be sure to let me know if it's OK to share your photo online, after the contest is over.

If your photo is chosen in the random drawing, you'll win your choice of one of the following books in hardcover, signed by Diana Gabaldon:

Any of the OUTLANDER or Lord John books (excluding WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART'S BLOOD)

Please note: I acknowledge every photo submission by email. If you sent in a photo for the contest but you did NOT receive an email back from me within 24 hours, please re-send your photo to contest@outlandishobservations.com. Thanks.

After the contest ends, I will be posting a photo slideshow with all the contest entries, so everyone will be able to see these wonderful photos. It's going to be a great collection, but it's not finished yet! Keep those photos coming, please!

About

My name is Karen Henry. I discovered the OUTLANDER books in 2006, and quickly became thoroughly addicted! I started this Outlandish Observations blog in August, 2008, as a central repository for news and information about Diana Gabaldon's books, including new and upcoming releases.

Things have changed a great deal in OUTLANDER fandom in recent years, with many new fans discovering the books as a result of the STARZ TV series. Whether you're a newcomer to OUTLANDER or you've been reading the books for 30+ years, one thing we all have in common is our love for these books and characters and this amazing story that Diana Gabaldon has created.
