The Elephant Project is currently auctioning off nearly 50 different items for their holiday round of auctions to help benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. Included in the round are pictures of members of the Glee cast holding Elephant Project’s beanie baby mascot (because “elephants never forget”), and signed elephants from all of them. Among the Glee cast members are: Cory Monteith, Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin McHale, Dianna Agron, Naya Rivera, Jonathan Groff, Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Dijon Talton and creator Ryan Murphy. Jenna even wants to send you a thank you Tweet if you win her auction!

On her Facebook page, Dianna Agron wrote, “I don’t know if you’ve ever lost someone to Alzheimer’s, but I have. Both of my grandmothers. If you feel compelled, and have the money to share… As my Nana used to say, ‘The sun WILL come out tomorrow.’ And then she’d sing the song to me. She couldn’t carry a tune, but it made me smile every time and I love that we will always have our song.”

We want to help raise awareness of the Elephant Project’s amazing charity auctions, so we are giving away a pack of 5×7 pictures of all 10 of the Glee participants. You can view the watermarked pictures of the Glee cast on the pages of their eBay auctions, but our prize pack will include the un-watermarked versions of the photos.

All you have to do to enter to win is:

1) Tweet the following for an entry:
I just entered to win photos of the Glee cast from @ElephantProject & @GleekRob here: http://bit.ly/tDA8oi
2) Get an entry by leaving a comment telling us why you love Glee.
3) Both send out a Tweet and leave a comment, getting you two entries and doubling your chance to win!

Our contest will end Thursday, December 8th at 11:59pm. Be sure to use your real email address if you leave a comment, and be sure to be following the @ElephantProject & me (@GleekRob) on Twitter so that we can contact you directly if you win!

Now check out the auctions, and help support a great cause!

If you want to win an autographed The Glee Project photo, read on! I was fortunate enough to receive a Glee Project photograph signed by The Glee Project winners Lindsay Pearce and Samuel Larsen along with contestant Hannah McIalwain, and I am giving it away to one of you lucky readers!

Here is all you have to do to win:

1) Follow me and Rob on Twitter:

If you want to win some rare autographed Glee merchandise and help me pay my college tuition at the same time, read on! I’m currently in competition at bublaa.com, and if I can have the largest “bubble” by July 15, then I’ll win $10,000 to help pay for college! Joining my “Gleeks” bubble is quick and easy, and if you help me win the contest, I’ll give away a Glee prize pack of merchandise that I’ve collected over the past two years of running GleeFan.com!

Update (7-14-11): With all of your help and a Tweet from the amazing Jenna Ushkowitz, I’m currently in 2nd place! If I can get back into 1st before 1pm EST Friday, I’ll definitely be mailing out the prize package to one very lucky Gleek.

The prize package includes:
1) A cast photograph signed by Chris Colfer (Kurt), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), Kevin McHale (Artie) and Amber Riley (Mercedes)!
2) A Glee calendar signed by Broadway legend Idina Menzel, known on Glee as Rachel Berry’s mother, Shelby Corcoran. She’s also known for originating Maureen in RENT and Elphaba (the lead) in Wicked.
3) A rare writer’s draft of the pilot script from September 26, 2008, including unaired scenes and original character descriptions. This script was given to me directly from Fox, and they are extremely rare. You can see a couple pages of it here.
4) A rare red Glee hat, also direct from Fox’s publicity staff.
5) Glee, The Music: Volume 1 on CD. Own the very first Glee soundtrack, including songs like “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

Here’s all you have to do to be entered to win:
1) Signup for free at bublaa.com. You can even make an account using Facebook Connect to make a speedy process even quicker!
2) Join my “Gleeks” bubble. (This is important because I’ll need to have the biggest bubble by the time the contest ends to win.)
3) Go to the Gleeks bubble’s conversations section and find my “Win rare signed Glee merch! Details inside…” topic! Then leave a reply with some way that I can contact you. It can be your Twitter, Facebook URL, email address, etc. Just so long as I can use it to get in touch with you, you’ll be entered to win!
4) Check back on July 16th to see if I won! If I win, then I’ll be randomly selecting a lucky winner to receive my Glee prize package.

Right now I’m neck in neck with another bubble, so EVERY member is extremely important! When you’re done entering, please get a friend or family member to join as well, because a few extra people will make or break the competition at this point! I’ve seen the Glee fandom come together in the past, and I cannot express how thankful I would be if I actually won the competition. As anyone in college can tell you, student debt is the worst, so I would be incredibly grateful if you guys could help me out! You have no idea how much it would mean to me.

If you want to keep up with my progress in the competition, you can follow me on Twitter @GleekRob as I’ll be Tweeting how things are going. Remember that I’ll only be giving away the prize pack if I win, so if I win, you could win too!

Thank you all so much. Please don’t let this amazing opportunity pass you by!

All the entries are in and it’s time to announce the Top Ten finalists for our Gleek Talent Showcase Contest.
It’s Round 2!

We’ve looked through all the entrants’ videos, and we’ve picked our Top Ten! These finalists displayed some of the best talent with their videos entries.

Keep in mind the prizes that are at stake for the winners:
First Place -- 1 Signed Glee Script & 1 Signed Poster from the Gleek Tour
Second Place -- 1 Signed Glee Cast Photograph
Third Place -- 1 Glee Hat

To be fair, please watch all the contests’ videos before voting in the poll at the bottom of the post.

Voting will end on March 29th, which is when we will announce the winners. Good luck!

1) Stephanie Ciotta
Singing “Hole in My Heart” by Alphabeat

Stephanie is 19 years old. Though she attends school in Boston, she was born and raised in New York. She loves music and hopes to pursue a career in the field later on. Enjoy her cover of the song “Hole in My Heart” by Alphabeat! She actually spliced together video of her singing both of the parts! Neat!

2) Jack Savige
Short Film -- “Don’t Stop Believin’”

Jack is 19 years old, from Melbourne, Australia and currently studying screenwriting. He made a hilarious video based on the concept of three Glee fans writing an episode for the premiere of Glee‘s second season. It is hilarious and definitely shows off his talent for film making! When deciding who to vote for, remember: W.W.C.C.D.?

3) Mary Pascoe
Singing “Mercedes Benz” by Janis Joplin

Mary lives in Los Angeles, California, and submitted a video of a live performance she did there. She’s both an actress and a singer-songwriter. She plays the guitar, trumpet, and piano, and even self-produced an album called “Who Brings a Cat to the Disco?”! Enjoy her lively rendition of “Mercedes Benz” by Janis Joplin!

4) Cara-Lynn Branch
Painting…

Cara-Lynn Branch is 21 years old and lives in Canada. She writes books, lyrics & scripts for musicals. Despite her major in musical theater, the talent she chose to display is more unique. Describing it just as “painting” doesn’t do it justice. Just watch it. If you don’t appreciate it, then you aren’t a true Gleek! XD

5) Celeste Kamiya
Singing “A Case of You” by Joni Mitchell

Celeste lives in San Francisco, California and has been a huge Glee fan since the first 2 seconds of the pilot. Also a huge fan of the Broadway musical Spring Awakening, she enjoys singing, acting, and dancing. Although she’s too young to audition for Glee, I think you’ll love her version of “A Case of You” by Joni Mitchell that she sang for our Gleek Talent Showcase.

6) Steven Karunphand
Singing “Ordinary People” by John Legend

Steven Karunphand is from Belleville, New Jersey. He’s 21 years old and currently attending college at Fordham University in New York. For our contest, he sang “Ordinary People” by John Legend. Enjoy!

7) Rebecca Michelson
Singing “Terrified” by Kara DioGuardi & an Original Song

Rebecca goes to school in Boston, but lives just outside of Philadelphia. She’s a freshman in college and loves to sing, play the guitar and play the piano. She says that she secretly wants to be on Broadway someday, but has major nerves. Maybe one day! Enjoy an original song about her love of Glee, a Kara DioGuardi song and a bit of piano playing.

8) Jean Ryan Escalante
Singing “Swallowed in the Sea” by Coldplay, a cappella

Jean is 22 years old and his hometown is Yellowknife, NT in Canada. He’s currently attending Vancouver Film School. His musical background includes three years in his high school’s choir, one semester in concert band, and a supporting role in a musical with a solo. Also, he gets a lot of vocal practice by singing in the shower every day. Here’s his a cappella version of “Swallowed in the Sea” by Coldplay.

9) Katherine Paige
Singing “Someone to Watch Over Me” by Gershwin.

Paige is 14 years old and lives in Bakersfield, California. Recently she played the role of Mrs. Potts in a production of Beauty & The Beast, and although she’s too young to audition for Glee, she sent us a video of her singing “Someone to Watch Over Me” by Gershwin. Enjoy!

10) Elena Dudum
Singing “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles

Elena is 17 years old, lives in San Francisco, California and is Palestinian-American. She loves being in musical theater productions, both in her school and with local theater companies. When she isn’t singing, she enjoys designing and sewing her own line of clothing. For our contest, she sang “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles. [Warning: the audio's a little quiet, so you may want to turn your volume up.]
