Fab Freebie: World Play

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

And the lucky / randomly selected / soon to be quite worldly person is… Briana (who says “London, Ontario is special to me. That’s where I first lived on my own, went to University, met my husband, and I just loved that city. Plus, it has the best spaghetti restaurant ever, Spageddy Eddy’s!”). Congrats! And for everyone else, scroll down to the contest entry details for a sweet little discount the Wallpapered folks added for everyone.

One look at Pinterest and I don’t feel quite so alone in my fascination with maps. So to everyone else out there who digs a little cartography in their design, hold on to your seats. This week the people behind Wallpapered are giving one of you a nice big 8ft x 5ft world map wallpaper kit so that you can add a map-tastic mural to your home. As much as I love the various world map styles they offer, the coolest feature (at least to me) is that you can also get custom area map wallpaper that basically zooms into a postal code of your choosing. So you could order custom wallpaper showcasing your favorite big city – or even the small town that you grew up in.

Wallpapered Giveaway

  • PRIZE: Any world map or custom area map wallpaper up to 8ft x 5ft from Wallpapered (a $400+ value!)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “WORLD ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …what town / city / state / country / other geographic area is most special to you? Will you always have a fondness for the town you grew up in? Are you most enamored with the place where you honeymooned? Or are you just bursting with pride over the area where you currently live?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, January 23rd at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Wahoo, this giveaway is available worldwide!
  • DISCOUNT: Get 10% off your custom map order with code YHL2013
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Wallpapered.

    World Me! I think I will have always have a fondness for the tow nwe lived in for 10 years and just recently left, but it’s where all the memories we have of our kids being little are. I love the map *trend* and would love to have some on my walls. Ihave 2 geographers in my house; one is my husband who does planning, and one is my 8 yo son who loves looking at maps and atlases and spouting out random facts.

    WORLD ME! While I really love Virginia as well as the rest of our great country, there will always be a special place in my heart for South Africa. I traveled there solo in college and volunteered on a baboon sanctuary in Phalaborwa SA and it was awesome. I saw a show on Animal Planet and decided I wanted to do it! Crazy, I know. It was such a different way of life and culture there. I would love to go back!

    There’s a special place in my heart that will always be occupied by Columbus, Ohio. While, not my hometown, it was the nearest big city when growing up. More importantly, it is where I currently live and where my fiance and myself have watched our relationship blossom from a casual friendship into a very intentional partnership that neither of us want to live without :)

    I’d have to choose Cardiff, UK for several reasons – firstly it’s where I was living when I first met my husband and where I did my postgraduate, but also because I worked for several years in the Planning Department. I’ve stared at maps of the city so many times, and yet I still love trying to pronounce the Welsh names of streets and admire all the green space that weaves through the city. What is it about the allure of maps!?!
