Looking for a Blurb coupon code or promo? Well, I can’t get you a better deal than free with this awesome giveaway!

Blurb is sponsoring this great giveaway for a chance to win one of $300 in prizes! Six winners will be drawn at random for a prize of $50.00 each towards your Blurb book!

Blurb is one of the more affordable photo book companies out there. In my price comparisons with other companies, Blurb usually comes out cheaper even with upgraded paper. It may not be as evident when you look at just the typical base price for a 20 page book. Blurb’s fee for additional pages tends to be a lot less than with other companies. With your prize you can choose from any of Blurb’s book products and numerous paper options.

Here’s just a few examples of what you can get with your $50.00 prize!

1) 7 x 7 Small Square hardcover book with 114 standard pages;

2) 7 x 7 Small Square hardcover book with 34 ProLine Pearl Photo pages;

3) 10 x 8 Standard Landscape hardcover book with 56 Premium Lustre pages;

4) 7.75 x 9.75 Standard Portrait softcover book with 110 Premium Lustre pages.

Custom layout template Blurb
One of the spreads from one of my wedding photo books printed with Blurb. This is a layout of some of our table numbers featuring some of our vacation photos before we were married.

When I want a photo book that reminds me most of a book that I’d be pick off the shelf of my local bookstore, Blurb’s photo books printed on Premium Lustre or Premium Matte is is one of the first that comes to mind. It just has that bookstore look and feel versus say other photo books printed on photo paper or thicker stock. Check out my in-depth comparison review of Blurb’s papers for those of you who are a bit paper obsessed like me!

Now, you don’t have to make a Mother’s Day photo book if you win one of these awesome prizes, but I made this one for my mom for Mother’s Day a while back and I printed it with Blurb. Needless to say – it was a big hit and I got big time brownie points with my mom.
