How to say "giveaway"?

Question

Our school is having a "free book giveaway" where each child can choose one book. I just can't think of a good term in Spanish to express "giveaway" as a noun. Thanks for your help!!

Answer 1

Oooppsss a typo: should have been "Sólo uno por niño" Thanks LadyDi
The word Sólo" may also be unnecessary.

Answer 2

Daniel said:

Why can't the sign be something basic like:Libros por gratis(Sólo uno por niño)

I think the word "por" is unnecessary. I don't see why you can't say "libros gratis" though.

Answer 3

Why can't the sign be something basic like:

Libros por gratis
(Sólo uno per niño)

Answer 4

Creo q esta correcta Anna. parece q si usa regalo, significa "free or gift" y si usa gratis, significa "Free" pues no necesita regalo y gratis, es super repetitivo.

Answer 5

If I'm not wrong, "giveaway" is like a gift, a donation, an offer, a present. But if you translate it like "regalo" eg and say 'free books" you are repeating the same concept as of course a "regalo, present" or any kind of noun like that is for free. Maybe my option would be something like:

Llévate un libro gratis
Un libro de regalo or Un libro gratis de regalo (but here you repeat the concept again maybe)

Any other suggestion'

Answer 6

In this sense, giveaway is "de regalo," so you might be able to say "libros de regalo," although that sounds sort of like "gift books." Or maybe "Les damos libros gratis" or "Se dan libros gratis." "Un libro gratis para cada niño."

Let's wait and see what others say.
