So who wants to take an all-expense paid trip to the US, Australia, UK, Japan or Singapore next month?  This is probably our most exciting contest so far! Let us know if you have any questions! Smile

hi, please tell me, is it necessary to write about people that i met? Cant I have had fun on my own? I havent anything to share regarding people I met, but I can share my travel experiences.
TF Carthick

Obviously not. The topic is clear. It is about interesting people you met. That is one of the value propositions Expedia is trying to highight and they expect you to write about that aspect - not any general travel blog.

Recognised by who ???? . Thanks anyways . We don't write for contests .

DS

What I meant was posts from Bloggers whom I know and follow!! But why you dont participate Dhiraj, its related to your niche?
Dhiraj Shenoy

Don't yaar , somehow we don't find it interesting to write for any contest and why should we promote somebody who services we have never used or probably will never use .

DS

Fair point Dhiraj. But you dont have to promote any service, just give a link at the end (I know that is promotion too but still).

Don't worry about missing the call from Expedia in case you win - IndiBlogger will call, email, tweet, message you on FB, send pigeons, owls and light the beacons of Minas Tirith to find you! Smile

Great contest! I've just returned back & saw the details. Yet to go thru the T & C.

Since by nature I am a solo traveller, I won't mind going alone again. :D

Have lots of stories, photos & experiences to share but at the moment very busy.  Let me see if I can contribute at least one post here.

Renie/vineet, 

I have a question here.  Is there a word limit for a post?

Vineet Rajan
from Mumbai
12 years ago

Nisha, there is no word limit! Blog away! 

Ranjith

There is no limit on the length of your post. It can be as small as a 200 words story or an essay extending into 10's of pages. The only think you need to keep in mind is to make the narration as interesting as possible.

Only two more days left! Surprised I thought that there was enough time left to accomodate seven days of thinking with a pen in my hand. Surprised

Ranjith

It looks as if not many are interedted in the contest. Only around 100 entries till date....

And here is a doubt which I hope would be cleared by someone: If I am one of the first five winners (IMAGINE Cool), can I exchange that mega prize for the mini prize of Rs 10000 voucher? 

Vineet Rajan
from Mumbai
12 years ago

Yes you can Ranjith. The person who accepts one of the grand prizes has to travel. If there are issues with the passport etc, then the runner-up prize would be given to the winner, instead of the all paid tour! 

Ranjith

That's good!

A small clarification to all the contestants. the contest is not based on votes. Votes don't matter, like in all previous contests 

that's great

Ooops, by mistake I submitted my entry in Indivine & now it's not allowing me to submit in proper place. 

I also don't see it under "Around The World With Expedia!" posts. :(

Can something be done?

Done with my post. It shaped up differently from how I intended it to be. Posts have a life of their own and evolve as they like. Hopefully it still meets contest requirements. Anways it covers only one of the two incidents I wanted to cover. But since it already hit 1000 words, I am sharing my other incident as a separate post tomorrow.  Hope I have time to make the entry before deadline. Wish they had extended this one's deadline too.

Hello Renie/vineet,

Please see the above query by me.

Yesterday by mistake I submitted my entry in Indivine & then it's not allowing me to submit under "Around The World With Expedia!". 

Vineet asked me to mail the post link to indi@indiblogger.in to set it right which I did promptly.

This is my post link http://www.indiblogger.in/indipost.php?post=118471

I still can't see my post there. Will appreciate the prompt action.

Thanks,
