Spring 2017 YA Scavenger Hunt



Have you heard of the YA Scavenger Hunt (YASH)? I hope so! This awesome scavenger hunt is perfect for readers and writers of Young Adult fiction.

So how does it work? If you're an author, you can register to host a stop in the scavenger hunt on your website/blog and participate in the overall giveaway and even add a giveaway of your own on your site. Usually there are a lot of authors involved and they get grouped into teams. When the scavenger hunt starts, readers can choose to join the hunt for one or more teams, going around to each author's website to collect hidden numbers that are then added up and used to enter the drawing for that team's prize (one book from each author in the team).

YASH takes place twice a year and the Spring 2017 hunt is almost upon us! Unfortunately it is too late for authors to sign up to be a part of the hunt and giveaways. But readers should get ready because the hunt only lasts from April 4th @ noon PST to April 9th @ noon PST. On April 11th, the winners of the grand prizes are announced! If you win an author's individual giveaway on their website, the timeline might be a little different.

You can go to the YASH website to take a peek at the history of YASH, more detailed instructions for how to hunt, the authors involved, and most importantly, the prizes! You can also like the YASH Facebook page to get updates on the scavenger hunt.
