Support for Dove Real Beauty Contest
A new contest on IndiBlogger: What does real beauty mean to you
How many people do you think will be participating in this? The turnout for the previous Contest 'Crusade against chlorine' was low. Was it beacuse of the lower value of the prizes compared to teh previous contests?
In this contest, why are the facebook likes taken into consideration rather than IndiVine haerts? Any idea?
Reason: title change
The topic is much needed for discussion, especially in India where the vision of beauty varies with the change of topography!!......Expecting some real good posts to come on this.... :) :) :)

I saw your blog...This is a perfect topic for you... 
Yeah, going through all the blog posts; all of them are really heart warming! Wonderful reading all of them!
ho ho hooooo.. tips being shared.. I must say, IndiBlogger has come of age.. 
where we are supporting each other.. Hurry Bloggers!!
Wowowoww!!! This is awesome response! More than 100 entries on the first day itself!!! Thats just 
!!!
I had thought of givng it a miss, but seeing the enthu here... am now considering......
@ arti yes, go ahead . its never to late
and yes the response has been pleasantly surprising, maybe it is because of the prize money :)
I except that the entries would cross 200 because many seem to submit their entries in the last moment
@ Arti How can I? You have submitted your entry 10 days before the deadline. isn't it?
How to win People's choice
Winning the category (one winner for 50K) is to share this link with your friends online and who have a facebook account. They need to click like on that page. Not everyone has a facebook like on their blog posts.
Hence get the likes on this link: http://www.indiblogger.in/indipost.php?post=59XXX . That is the link you need to circulate. Likes on your blog would be hard to track and cannot be considered.
How to win Editor's Choice
The 15 awards chosen by the editors, will NOT consider votes or likes. You just need to have some kickass content! Size doesn't matter, neither do votes! :)
Please share above thread to everyone who is taking part in the contest! All the best!
I've shared my post on the topic!! :) :) ..Gradually getting to know this place more now!! :D
@ RAJ Why don't you give your creative works to someone who is finding it difficult to write something?
Hope that all your three entries don't win the prizes. in that case, we will be left with none.
Interesting topic n thread... Got to read some wonderful articles on beauty, thanks to this contest! Winner or not winner, what matters is the outpouring of creativity n that I can see in abundance... All the very best to everyone... :)

Can't we use '+' sign in Indivine description? I used it in mine, and it has just vanished!!!
The description is looking somewhat messed up without that, Please help..
I think that you have simply forgotten to type a + sign. I think that we can use + for it is a symbol just like (.) that we often use.
Shall look into it. Can you share the link to the IndiVine post?
@ Vineet Rajan Here is the link: http://www.indiblogger.in/indipost.php?post=59481
@ Arti: I don't see a need for you to insert any + sign
@All
Read those beautiful blogs up for this contest... Deserves an applause... And its wonderful to see fellow contestants promoting and voting for one another... that is the beauty.... quite a healthy and encouraging contest :)
I would like to Thank everyone for promoting my blog... :) ... really appreciate
written very well...
Thank you manjulika :)
That is right Ranjith :)
N yes nice blog n post... Have FB liked your post too... :)
All the best to you
@ Anukriti So it was you, the only person to have liked my post on facebook. Thank you.
Seriously some of the posts submitted are just outstanding! And it's so amazin to see different people of different age from different backgrounds and their different views about the same thing - Real beauty! And they've done it so beautifully..God! I love this contest! 
This indeed is a wonderful contest! Loved ur post amar :)
btw have FB Liked your post :) keep writing:)
Well what i feel is that Facebook likes is okay till it promotes the brand/products and gives a chance to non-bloggers to vote. But I think that Editors should not decide the People's Choice, solely on FB votes... A person who has 1000+ friends (or more) will definitely get an edge over the others (he/she can ovbiously ask/convince his/her FB friends to vote on indivine FB "Like"- wherein atleast 200 would def. vote - family/close friends etc). On the other hand a person who keeps a low profile on FB is bound to get very few votes... I think the Editors should have an upper hand in deciding the final verdict... wat say?
Just a point of view... opinions might differ :)
I fall in that category you are talking about. I do not even have a facebook account and I don't like to ask my friends to vote for what I write. But still the facebook likes are to make the contest popular. one reason for the large number of entries is definitely the facebook promotion. If even non bloggers had a chance to participate, teh entries would ahve crossed 1000.
thats a valid point Ranjith and very well said... I appreciate :)
@Anukriti..Thanks..Done the same for you..;)..And you've 101 likes with that..!! I've some under 10..! Actually i didn't even kmow that non-indibloggers can like the thing too..!! Blame it on my ignorance since childhood of not reading rules completely!
@Arti..Thanks :)..It does not matter if you're not on facebook..I'm on facebook..I've some 700+ friends but believe me it ain't gonna make a difference..Reason - I'm a chartered accountancy student and have a large circle of the same! Even if i get them to like it..They'll ask me hundereds of question viz. What's this site? , What's this contest?, Can i register?, Is it still late for it?..Believe me i would rather prefer not having any likes! :P..They're all nerds! :-|..So if get a hard time with the likes and you're relying on the editor's award..Count me in too..;)...
@ Amar The People's choice award and the Editor's award does have a lot of difference. I would be happy even if get the last prize of the Editor's choice rather than getting People's choice award, by repeatedly asking everyone to like my entry on facebook.
Yeah! Woh kehte hain na hindi me ' Khaya piya kuch nahi, gilas phoda barana' !
Is there anyone to translate the second half of the sentence in Hindi?
Yeah! Woh kehte hain na hindi me..' Khaya piya kuch nahi, gilas phoda barana' ..Btw arti share the link of your post..I'll like it via fb!
Why don't you take a screenshot of the page and highlight the like button in dark red and send it to your friends?
Yes Arti I liked it
How is it that you only get/hope to get hearts on a post when you give one?
It's a selfish world buddy!
The trick is not supposed to work with everyone.
Hi everyone,
There was a query raised about winning in multiple categories. Can't find it now! :( There are no restrictions, a blogger who has won the people's choice can also win the Editorial prize and vice versa. A blogger may submit as many entries as he/she wishes to increase chances of winning.
@ Vineet rajan How about this one? A person submitting ten entries. The panel of judges are not going to look into the bloggers name and they award almost all of the entries. The person them walks away with 100000+ 50000+ 50000 + ..... (Don't remember those numbers) Is that possible?
