Starting tomorrow night, we’re heading into three epic Vampire Diaries episodes, so what better way to celebrate than with three weeks of awesome Twitter giveaways, courtesy of CW Network?
This week we’re celebrating TVD’s Halloween episode, Ghost World, with some fandom fun. Remember our OMFG Twitter contest? Well, we’re doing it again, only with a spooky twist. And here’s what one grand prize winner will receive: The Season 3 promo mini-poster pictured at left, signed by Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder and Joseph Morgan. Two runners-up will win unsigned Season 3 promo posters. And we’ll even throw in some extra TVD goodies, too. Wanna play?
THE RULES:
- This contest is open to international fans so EVERYONE can play!
- You must have a Twitter account and be following both @tvdnews and @CW_Network. (It’s important because we’ll be DMing the winners!)
- Come up with a witty/funny/creative/etc. phrase for the anagram GHOST. It must be a Vampire Diaries-related phrase and you must post it on Twitter. (See the OMFG post for a clear idea on how to play.) EXAMPLE ENTRY: Grumpy Hybrid Original Seeks Team. #TVDGW
- All entries must have this hashtag: #TVDGW. You do not need to reply to us with your entry, just make sure it has that hashtag because that’s how we will be tracking the entries. If your entry doesn’t have that hashtag, it won’t show up on a search for that hashtag and therefore will not be counted.
- You have until Friday, October 28th at 11:59pm Pacific to tweet your entries.
- Winners will be notified via DM by Tuesday, November 1st and will be announced on the blog when we do our #TVDGW round-up post on Wednesday, November 2nd.

The 2012 People’s Choice Awards may not air until January, but the voting is officially on! This is your official reminder that Vampire Diaries fandom needs to vote hard for our show and cast in this year’s People’s Choice Awards. The show airs LIVE on Wed., Jan. 11, 2012, 9-11pm ET on CBS and we want to see TVD on that ballot. We’re in the nomination phase now, where the top five official nominees (those listed) and write-in votes (more on that below) are voted on by fans and then whittled down to five official nominees in each category.
The top five in each category will become the official nominees and will be announced on November 8, 2011 at The Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills during the annual PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS press conference.
We’ve listed the official Vampire Diaries nominations below, as well as the categories that could definitely use some TVD love. REMEMBER: YOU CAN VOTE AS MANY TIMES AS YOU’D LIKE. Mobilize and get the word out, people! The show needs our votes!
VOTE:
- THE VAMPIRE DIARIES IN FAVORITE NETWORK TV DRAMA
- IAN SOMERHALDER IN TV DRAMA ACTOR
- THE VAMPIRE DIARIES IN FAVORITE SCI-FI/FANTASY TV SHOW
But your job is not done, fandom! You can write-in a nomination in each category, so let’s represent for the entire Vampire Diaries cast, shall we? All you have to do is click OTHER and type in the name of who you’re nominating. We’ve made it easy – just click each cast member below to go directly to their relevant category and write them in!
NOMINATE:

- KAT GRAHAM AS FAVORITE TV DRAMA ACTRESS
- ZACH ROERIG AS FAVORITE TV DRAMA ACTOR
- STEVEN R. McQUEEN AS FAVORITE TV DRAMA ACTOR

And we’d be remiss if we didn’t suggest that a certain coffin-ed Original deserves some People’s Choice representation, right?
NOMINATE:
Let’s do this.

Check out this very cool behind-the-scenes video from E! News! There’s some really interesting little tidbits from the crew in this video, so there’s a glimpse of a side of the show we don’t normally get to see. Don’t worry, though, you’ll see some of the actors as well. Keep an eye out for Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev. Thanks to @VampDNetwork for the video!
