Spirit of the Season Challenge Incentives

Incentives to Make Giving Back a Bit More Rewarding

With any Squidoo charity challenge the greatest incentive is knowing that you have make a lens to benefit a charity.

The Spirit of the Season Challenge Incentives are being generously donated by giving lensmasters to sweeten the pot and make participating in the Spirit of the Season Challenge even more enticing and rewarding for those taking the time to participate.

The incentives are a way of saying 'Thanks' for those who generously donate their time in making lenses for charity and for those who are donating products and services for the challenge.

The Spirit of the Season Holiday Challenge gives lensmasters a chance to spread the holiday spirit by sharing what the holiday spirit means to them and make a lens to benefit one of the Children's Charities on Squidoo.

Winners will be determined by the total number of votes the lens has received and announced on New Year's Eve.
