I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am for this year’s March Madness: Fashion Edition. When I decided to give it a go last year, I have to admit I was so nervous that no one would play along. I almost didn’t move forward with it, BUT you all blew me away with your love and support and I can’t thank you enough for that! This years March Madness: Fashion Edition 2019 is going to be bigger and better! Think more prizes, harder choices to pick from, more participants, AND a bracket to complete!

Participating is EASY! Ready to learn how to play? Here we go:
1.VOTE, VOTE VOTE: We have our 64 contestants ready to go head to head on my Instagram Stories for a chance to be the last item standing. Each week we will be voting on which items YOU like best. We started with 64 items, and after each set of votes we will go from 64 to 32, the sweet sixteen, the elite eight, the final four, and finally….THE CHAMPIONSHIP. For every vote you place, you’ll get one entry into our drawing. Stay tuned on my stories (or see below) for additional ways to enter each week.
2. WIN, WIN, WIN: One lucky participant will get the chance to WIN the item with the most votes during the championship round. Plus this year I am giving away additional prizes during the tournament for participants!
3. BRACKET: For an additional 30 entries, download and complete the bracket at the bottom of this blog post. Guess which item you think will go all the way. Once you have filled out your bracket, take a photo and send it to me via Instagram so I can see who you have winning. For each item you guessed correctly, you’ll get an additional entry. The elite eight and final four round will give you an additional 4 points for each one you guessed correctly. If you guess the winning item correctly, you’ll get an additional 10 points. The person with the most points just based on their bracket will win a big prize at the end! Brackets must be submitted to me by Friday, March 22 at midnight MST in order to be considered. For tips for completing your bracket, watch my stories later today!
4. RULES: You must follow Everyday Ellis on Instagram. You can find me here. You must participate by voting on my Instagram stories. This giveaway will take place from March 21 – April 8, 2019. The shops and Instagram are not affiliated with this giveaway. Winner will be chosen at random between all entries using random number generator and will be contacted within one week from the final voting period. If item is sold out by the time the game is over, you will be given a gift card to the shop the item is from in the amount the item cost.
