I have a feeling my post got disqualified last time coz they changed the rules midway !! Hope it doesnt happen this time.
Post is not disqualified shil , it's just not the winner one, that's all. Best wishes, ace it. Great topic it is, this time.
It wasn't disqualified
. And they won't change it midway.
Dont worry. All The Best
Awesome contest to begin a year......I'm flodded with my childhood memories and it will be really difficult to select one to write onto. Hope I'll be able to do it in time.
Hope you will be able to
. All the best
Thanks you all for the clarifications - I think I will give it a go... I have never really done something like this before :)
First try?. Thats very good jhi.
All The Best
what's the deadline for sumitting the post??
Its 29th February
अभी तमिल के लिए ऊपर कहा गया कि रेखा को दो पोस्ट बनानी चाहिए...
एक मूल भाषा में और दूसरी ट्रांसलेशन वर्जन जो कि इंग्लिश में होगा...
लेकिन क्या सिर्फ मूल भाषा वाली सिर्फ एक पोस्ट के लिए कोई गुंजाईश नहीं है...?
यही सवाल मेरा भी है क्योंकि मेरी पोस्ट हिंदी भाषा में होनी है... साथ ही मुझे दो पोस्ट बनाने में कोई इंटरेस्ट नहीं...
No Idea What You Said
.
Good Luck if you are participating
Jogendra Ji, wo Maine sirf apna idea diya tha, aap beshaque kisi bhi bhaasha me' likh sakte hain, best wishes,
जोगेंद्र जी. ये प्रमोद जी का अपना विचार था. Indiblogger team से कोई जवाब नहीं आया है और मुझे पूरा यकीन है की वो Regional भाषाओँ को भी मान्यता देंगे
here i come... was waiting for the ontest!!..:)
Sahithya, good luck
I love the theme! I am going to write for this one for sure, more for the fun than for prize-anticipation. Honest. :)
Best wishes, deboshree, sure the theme is unique this time.
Good Luck Jhi
All the best and now there is one more theme waiting for you
Good luck to all of you as well! Hope we come up with 100% natural entries.
Thanks but I am not participating
kindly include a point that all the regional langaugesess will be considered
villavan gothai
All Indian languages are encouraged!
@ Vinnet I have a genuine doubt: How is it possible that the judges will be able to read and understand all Indian languages?
The content management team from Kissan have on board translators who are adept in most Indian languages! Not something we should worry about! All the best!
re. date of submission: The last date of submission is given as 29th Feb. Date when entries will be displayed is 24th Feb.
My question: Why are the blog posts to be displayed before the last date of submission? This could result in 'adaptation' by some bloggers of posts created by others which are already on display from 24th. So why this 5 day window for a chance to copy the story ideas?
Till date there hasn't been any such problems.
That 5 day window is given so that we all can read others stories as well.
Its a good way to know who all have participated and by reading other posts, sometimes bloggers themselves will know if the post is going to be selected.
It helps the bloggers to get to know each other more and also increase the popularity of the blogs.
Thats what I think!!!
As far as adaptation and plagiarism is concerned, it will happen whether you open posts in advance or not. Geniune bloggers do not resort to such things and copy cats are nabbed one day or another. So, don't worry and Keep blogging; keep original blogging
Alaka's points are worth the notice, one solution is that you post your take on the last hour of 29th. Then it will be safe, and another advice , you can correct your own post and make use of adaptations in your own very post. Cheers. One risk is that they can extend the date of submission at the last hour.
1. Who decides the location and time of travel?
2. Are there restrictions on how to travel...by air or by train?
Location, Date and Time is all selected by you.
The second one I dont know
It ought to be travel, can be' walk even. But, train, bus or air, whatever, truthful tale is best.
I am done with my post. Its up on my blog. Though Pramod's advice to keep it till last minute makes sense, I can not keep my blog posts waiting. I am too eager to post in the moment they are ready. So here goes. Now to decide whether to post one more entry for this or take a shot at expedia or ditch both and try my luck at fablery.
Patience pays, and it pays handsomely. My site is demanding, and I keep telling, patience dear, have patience, one day I will certainly put up a craziest of a winner post for the whole world to rattle their slithery necks. Till then, ahoy, patience dear.
Will read your post soon TF. I am sure it will be a good read.
Real awe-inspiring post @ the fool, I too, took a dip down the memory lane,
Thanks a lot, Pramod. Glad you liked it. More than contest, this post captures an experience that my mother cherished in her heart for years. I have been wanting to record it for a long time. But somehow could not get the idea for right structure and presentation. The contest provided the impetus for the same.
@Pramod - My impatience is what keeps me going. I had wanted to write since 2004. But only the thought of posting content live on internet and people commenting gave me the necessary push to go on and write. Even now I am unable to motivate myself to just write and keep in my own word files.
@DS- Do check it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks indiblogger for such a contest. I really get motivated and started my blog. Now I ll take that forward and write new content.
Just one question: I have submitted a article in this contest, will that published after 24th or only the winning articles ll publish?
It will be publishsed after 24th itself.
My post titled "Chidhood Memories" is ready too and is live on my blog. Quite possible that someone picks the idea and writes better to go on winning the prize. No worries.....i still beleive that one fine day the judges will realise that my effort is honest , genuine and 100 % real :)
Best of luck to all. May the best win !!
Great go, rock on.
Good Jhi.
All the best for the contest
This is the first time I want to participate! Are their word limits? And do we put in a back link with any specific text on our blog with reference to this contest?
Thats Good jhi. All the best.
There are no word limits. No, there is no backlink you need to provide. But you can provide a link of the Indivine post after submitting it If you wish.
Thanks Pooja!
Wow! Looking forward to your post Richa! All the Best!
all the best Richa! There are no word limits and surely no limits on the creativity!
I just got onto the ride...all set to go!
Here's my tavelogue http://castled-am-i.blogspot.in/2012/02/wed-look-forward-to-our-vacations-each.html It's called 'A childhood travel revisited...'
Enjoy! :-)
Hi,
I submitted a post to this contest, even posted here, on this page, after that. But, neither I see my post here, not my submission under my IndiVine posts!
Also, the contest submission page gave me no choice and submitted my post under the 'food and drinks' sub-category under 'lifestyle' though my blog post has nothing to do with food and/or drinks!
Please sort this out!
Your post will be visible from Tomorrow.
The submission has nothing to do with the category of your Blog. The category of the POST is what it considers.
On the midway of my post... riding my scooter right now... i'm so happy guys.... cheers! :-))
Hurray I finished my recollection and submitted it! Wish me luck guys... I'm not longing for the prize (hehe I don't think I'm polished enough to claim one anyway) but hopefully my Indiblogger friends will like it... Goodluck guys :)
Can one submit more than one post?Do I have to link the post with Kissan or indiblogger?please clarify. If there is any rules and conditions page. direct me there.thanks
offcourse you can submit more than one post... it's clearly written there... but i've no clue for your second query... for being on safer side I added a link at the bottom of my post... :)
Yeah thats the answer. I fully agree.
