Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and got some time to unwind. I certainly did and am having trouble getting back into the swing of things.
On that note, here’s something for those who want to do one last productive thing before the end of 2008 (oh my goodness, 2008!!), or start the year with something simple and nippy where you might just win some cash — $200 in Visa gift vouchers for the winner, and two $50 gift certificates to iTunes.
Just a reminder: for beginner writers, entering competitions is a great way to get your work evaluated and see where you stand. Winning, or even being a runner-up in a writers competition can do wonders for your confidence.
This contest is easy-peasy-squeezy: write a post, send pictures or do a video about the last place you visited and tell everyone why they should go there. The top 5 winners will be selected basis page views and subsequently the top 3 will get one of the above rewards.
The contest is sponsored by Vagabondish, Spongefish, Hostelbookers, and Travellerspoint, and as simple as it can get. It is rather open, so let your creativity in expressing your travels go wild.
Deadline: 14th January, 2008.
How to apply: Check out this link.
Page views? How will this work? Is it page views from the time you post til the day the contest ends? Between two specific dates? Are we at a significant disadvantage if we post the day before the contest ends? Is there something to stop you from writing an article about your family’s trip to Jones beach and naming it, say, “Naked Pics of Angelina Jolie during Republican Primaries†to pull in the views? Who keeps the copyright to the work if you win? What about if you don’t win?
Also… do you know where the posts will end up? I followed your link but couldn’t work out where the posts will actually be.
Good questions. Check out this link for more information. If you don’t get all your answers here, you might want to drop them a line.

Thanks, but actually that link didn’t answer even one of my questions. Ah well. If I can’t even work out the rules, it must not be the contest for me… that’s fine.
Can you link to the entries? I would love to at least read other people’s submissions.
Wish I had the ability to write like these other bloggers.
yeah… where are the posts??
I think they’re here:

The contest entries are located here:

Pageviews definitely favor people who submit early, but we’ve found that good content racks up pageviews pretty well. If you submit before the 10th that should be enough time for your content to become popular on the site.
You submit just by publishing on SpongeFish and then tagging your entry with travelcontest1.
