Not sure did the tag/category thingy right. Put the post in blocks category and tagged it with geese. ???
If you are posting a photo of blocks to enter in (or donate to) the drawing, that’s perfect. When you post about mailing your blocks (or receiving them if you’re a winner), then the category should be sent and received.
