We had the best of intentions, really. Thirty-one days in December, 31 days of contests. But -- surprise, surprise -- holidays and birthdays and sick days caught up with us. We've already given away some 20 Google Play Gift Cards worth $10 each. And now, with but hours to go before we here in the U.S. tip over into 2013, we're finally going to wrap this contest.

Those of you who made it a little further in your math studies than we did might note that we've got 11 Gift Cards to go. And since tonight is the party night of the year, let's just get it all done in one last major contest, shall we?


First, a quick reminder that all 31 winners are also in the running for a free 16GB Nexus 4, courtesy of us. If you've won one of the daily contests, or win one of the final 11 Gift Cards, you're automatically in the running.

But let's sweeten the pot, shall we? We're going to give away a second Nexus 4, and we're going to do it in this final contest.

Here's how it's going to go down:

• Tonight's New Year's Eve. Chances are you've been celebrating. And chances are you've got a picture of you celebrating.
• To win one of eleven (11) $10 gift cards: Leave a post this contest forum thread. Leaving any post will enter you to win one of the 11 remaining $10 Google Play Gift Cards.
• To win a bonus Nexus 4: Post a picture of yourself celebrating the beginning of the new year, and you're in the running for the bonus Nexus 4. (The 20 of you who already have won a Gift Card can feel free to enter for the bonus phone, too. We're not excluding you.)

Get it? Leave a post to try to win a $10 gift card, leave a picture to try to enter the bonus phone. We'll run this one from now through 5 p.m. Eastern time Wednesday, Jan. 2. And we'll announce the winners of both Nexus 4s live on our podcast Thursday night, as well as on the blog.

That's it. Good luck, and happy new year!
