10. 4. Advanced
• Back in February, Country Living launched its "Dream
Bedroom Pinterest Contest," which asked pinners to follow
the Country Living Pinterest page, launch a new Pinterest
board entitled "My Country Living Dream Bedroom," and
pin at least 10 items that represent their dream bedroom (5 of
which needed to be pinned from CountryLiving.com), all
tagged with #countryliving and #dreambedroom. To submit
their entry, pinners were required to comment on the
contest's pin with a link to their pinboard. Entries were then
judged by a panel of Country Living editors based on criteria
including originality, creativity, adherence to the rules, and
"a general sense of the Country Living aesthetic." The winner
was rewarded with a bedding set from Garnet Hill.
