Contest

David Plouffe was not simply the engineer of the historic campaign that won Barack Obama the presidency; he also designed a grassroots movement that forever changed the face of politics and revitalized the notion of democracy itself. Enter for the opportunity to win a private book club discussion with the author of the bestselling The Audacity to Win: The Inside Story and Lessons of Barack Obama's Historic Victory.

HOW TO ENTER

Send an email of no more than 500 words to Vikingpublicity@us.penguingroup.com telling us about your favorite part of The Audacity to Win (or something you learned from the book that you didn't know previously) or your experiences working on political campaigns, the 2008 Presidential election or politics in general. In addition, please provide three to five sample discussion questions – which do not count toward the word limit -- you would want to ask David Plouffe, the author of The Audacity to Win.

A qualified panel of judges chosen by Sponsor will anonymously select ten finalists' essays based on how enthusiastic and inspiring their stories are, and how interesting and original their questions are. David Plouffe will select the grand prize-wining entry, and the winner will get to host a Book Club discussion for The Audacity to Win and have David Plouffe appear to discuss the book and answer questions (Approximate Retail Value = $550.00).

No purchase necessary. Contest begins December 4, 2009. Entries must be received no later than December 16, 2009 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time. Open to residents of the Continental United States and the District of Columbia, ages 18 and older who are willing to host a book club discussion within an hour's driving distance from a commercial airport or train station. Winner will be selected on or about December 21. Visit Penguin.com for full official rules. Void where prohibited by law.
