Pogo will choose three winners around June 11th and display their photos and Minis on the Pogo web site. The winners will also receive 350 Gems. Be sure to check out the official rules before entering.
Good luck!

Pogo is retiring three Premium Badge Albums in just a few short hours:
Haunted Pogo (released 10/05/2010)
Pogo Turns 10 (released 09/08/2009)
Winter Wonderland (released 12/07/2010)
It doesn’t look like Pogo will be offering a coupon code or sale for these albums, so if you want them now is the time to purchase. (There are no guarantees, but even if Pogo offers a coupon code or sale during the final hours today, their customer service has historically been very accommodating about giving refunds retroactively.) Do not delay — in the past when Pogo has said an album retires on a certain date, it retired the moment the calendar flips over to that certain date.
Today is your last day to get these retiring albums.
Note: five more albums are going into the vault on May 19th as well. It’s still not clear whether Pogo will have a coupon or sale for these, so stay tuned here for reminders as it gets closer to their retirement date.
Did you buy one of these albums recently? Do you have any favorite hints or tips to share for one of the badges? Share your thoughts and tricks in a comment below.

Happy Weekend Everyone!
Last weekend I asked for some weekend topic suggestions and got a bunch of great responses. Thanks to those of you who sent yours in, and keep ‘em coming! This weekend’s topic was sent in by shygirlornot:
Which game do you wish had more weekly challenges? Which game has too many?
The weekend open thread is for any questions or comments that don’t fit in anywhere else on the site. Feel free to use the comments here to also chat about anything Pogo-related that didn’t fit in anywhere else this week.
See you in the comments!
