The future of shopping from eBay India! (IndiContest)
We've just launched a 10-day contest with eBay India - hope you like the topic! 
Just 174 entries ~ I don't think any contest has had just few entries! Maybe the prizes were not attractive enough? Maybe the requirement to use some of your own money to use the shopping voucher was off-putting? 
Something worth investigating and avoiding such prizes in future contests if this was the case.
for a contest that was open for only 10 days...i think it was okay turnout...
I agree, Nandini.
The Yatra Contest was open for much longer, yet it has 194- just 20 entries more than this Ebay one!
I love the topic & the prizes, especially the 1st prize!
People got excited about the 10 day deadline and participated! 
May be next time, it can be a five day contest! 
5 day?

Contest gets over before we are even aware that it has begun!!! 
How will IndiBlogger judge who has won?!!! 
I'll be winner before ranjith wins
Ranjith & ND, Please give everyone a fair chance too!
Would love to submit my Post if & when the 'time' is 'right'!
I will be the winner before the contest gets annouced.
still I'll be winner before ranjith wins
@ Anita
Yes, Yes. ND will win a single dosa and I win a year supply of dosas
Ranjith, A Year's Supply of Dosas sounds yummy! 
Who's the sponsor? Imagining Dosa prizes for us!
A Dosa a Day...what else can I say?!!!
u get only 1 year supply?..i get life time supply of masala dosa...and after my death all my next generations get lifetime dosas too
ND, Which Contest is giving such unlimited lifetimes Dosa prize? Great to try for the chance!
eBay must be happy that we are not making demands for-
Lifetime-Dosas-Supply-for-unlimited-Generations as prize!
eBay We want lifetime dosa supply.
Dosa ? Mrs. sharma has ordered hot and sizzling caribbean food -right from the Dominican Republic- in a food plane with the oven facility.
It was an order not a prize though.
Desperately needed a break from contests and this has served as a good one
All the best everybody... May the deserving win!
You didn't participate?
I too took a break in the Yatra contest. 
i took BREAK in Idea contest...
No, i didn't participate. After the 'smelly to smiley' contest my head went blank!
Anyhow....I seriously needed this break!
Everyone cries after taking a break. ND cried for the Idea Pen Drive. I cried for the Yatra vouchers and now, you too are crying. 
3 months Nandini ??? ah ok.....This was one of the most interesting contests and I hope that Indiblogger will have more of such interesting contests....
She was kidding. No one knows the exact time required for the results to be declared. Some are declared in less than a month. Some take even 3-4 months.
Looking forward to see some people come here and say that THEIR IDEAS HAVE BEEN COPIED! 
Why don't you kick start the "campaign" Ranjith ?
Am I the only one who wrote the article as an answer to a question in the exam with side headings?
they asked abt future..i wrote about past
No prize for you!
I started from the past, came to the present and went to the future!
Both our entries look similar! 
This is what happens when people write about the past.
i also did three..but more abt past my post is unque..
i used in my last section
174 entries!
I thought that there will be no more than 100 entries! 
The submissions are wide-open still by the way....good bit of leverage by the indi team.
Truly Sammya! Link is open though none of us demanded for an extension!
Proves that Indi Team wants us to submit our entries!
posted my entry...
Now when i read my entry iam like what the hell did i write :D
Absolutely loved the topic & enjoyed my Shopping Trip to 2030! Realized that it's tough to return from the Future!
Didn't take any chances for last-minute submission & posted more than 2 hours ago. Though I dicover that the link is working even now...
no extension?!?...:(...i needed atleast an hour more...
Sakshi, Indiblogger already does that. The 'snap-shot' technique started with the We Chat contest
Oh is it? Ok, that's cool to know. Thanks, Bushra. That's good to know!
Yes Sakshi your suggestion was really very nice... People shouldn't be able to add more points in their posts after the contest period gets over.....I can just hope that Indiblogger will follow your suggestion...
We can check the originality of a post by the RSS feed of it :)
@ BK Even the content in the RSS feed gets updated on updating the post!
Seems like all are submitting their post before the time gets over...Sakshi Nanda good point..I will also advice Indiblogger to take screen shot.. Good idea...
Although, Techboy, copying posts will really not win anyone any awards. Ideas will just be too common then. But then, not everyone understands that. :)
Why is no one asking for extension? May be everyone understood that all contests are #noextend from now onwards!
Submitted mine. Thought and brought in future technology...... in my post
Good luck to every one!
