Bushra M

Even i don't think blogposts with internet pics will win... 

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

They WON'T ( the phoo blog prize ) Laughing

Or do they have a chance of winning if they are turned into memes photos? Foot in mouth

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

I don't know if meme photos is the correct term. Foot in mouth

What I meant was a post with pictures taken from the net and text added to the pictures to make it appear funny or express some opinion - the ones which are found on facebook. Innocent

DS

I have some videos made 8-9 years ago when I was studying which seem to fit the explorer tag! But I am in two minds whether to submit them or not, as they are totally mindless and crazy!!

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

This contest is all about being crazy! Cool So, submit them without a second thought. Laughing

DS
from Mumbai |

The fact is that those videos are not choreographed but we just said whatever came to our minds at that time! lol, we did not even plan to take any videos, it was all just spur of the moment acts!! And I know why you encourage me to publish, you want to enjoy watching that! :P

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Yes! Yes! Cool

The only thing I know is that your college experiences / videos will definitely be a bit funny. Tongue out

DS
from Mumbai |

A bit funny? You will die laughing at the mindless actions!!

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Waiting to die :P

???????????????

When this contest started, I wrote an excellent post (in my opinion) and also read the standard Terms and Conditions.

Just now, I read the contest page and saw that the entry/post must have a link to tatasafari.com.

Fortunately, I was able to modify the post to include the link. I am simply wondering if this is a mandatory rule (causing posts without the link to be automatically disqualified) and if this is a common requirement in IndiBlogger contests.

Nandini Deka
from Bombay |

contests are held by sponsors to promote their brands, so its natural they make posting their link mandatory...otherwise whats the point of holding contest?

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

I wonder if they would be first filtering entries based on whether there is a link to the sponsor's website or not. Tongue out

But to be on the safe side, why not include it? It is just a link and nothing else. Innocent

Bushra M
from Bangalore |

Any extensions? Cry 

Nandini Deka
from Bombay |

lol....me was thinking same............i havent bought my pencils/paper yetTongue outCool

Avadhoot
from Jabalpur |

two possibilities:

(1) Renie shall take a humble stand like the way Manmohan singh said yes to the  UPA ordinance on tainted candidates.

(2) Renie shall take a heroic stand like Rahul Gandhi and shall say- "extention is a trash and we should quash it."

Tongue outInnocentLaughing

First option looks good! Laughing

Ranjith

I don't know whether I should feel sad as I feel that I won't be able to do it before the deadline or feel happy because I need not spend an entire day writing an entry / video for this contest! Undecided

Fairy Princess

Raina
from chicago |

Hey, this is my first time trying to enter a contest and I just read that it is only for Indian residents. I have a redundant question but I will just ask because I want to be sure. I live in USA but I am an Indian does this make me ineligible?

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Even though the T&C state that it is open to Indian residents, I think you too can participate as you are an Indian and if you win a prize, you can give an Indian postal address for the gift! Smile If you want to confirm, you can send a mail here. There is nothing you will lose by participating, so just enter ignoring the rules! Wink

Raina
from chicago |

Thank you Ranjith. I sent them a mail, hopefully will get a reply before its too late.Smile I will just write and submit as you said there is nothing I will lose.Smile

Nandini Deka
from Bombay |

u can enter...give my address to them for prize delivery if u win it Smile

Raina
from chicago |

Sure Nandini. Wink

Hi,

I have submitted my entry without images( suitable images r either in wallpaper format or belongs to particular websites, so dnt wanted to mess my story wid copyright issue). I gave the link of  Tata safari.com at the bottom of the story, is tht ok?? (as thy hv asked to include the link in the entries) 

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Adding images is not compulsory unless you want a prize in the photo blog category ( for that you must post your own pictures )

You can add the link anywhere : at the starting or ending. 

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Laughing

Anita
from Bhubaneswar |

I think we all need to start writing for this!

Extension looks unlikely... Smile

Just found the following tweet (posted 17 hours ago) in Tata Safari's Twitter page:

Tata Safari ‏@Tata_Safari 17h

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

I can't do a video now. I already spent 2.5 hours for that photo blog post and I'm very tired since morning. Frown

And I doubt if I will be able to do a video here in my hostel room. From where do I get the things required to make a video? Frown

Razi
from Malappuram |

What are the things you needed for the video..?Undecided

Thanks for informing Ranjith !Smile

Jitaditya Narzary
from Delhi |

After a completely working weekend, i struggled to finish off my entry. I submitted in the nick of time and I think I did not do justice to the ideas I originally had... lets see :/

Vivek
from Bangalore |

close shave!

Arvind Passey
from Delhi |

I think the contest brief has just changed... it seems to have become too tame now. None of the earlier 'edge of the universe' stuff there.

Why?

Jitaditya Narzary
from Delhi |

even I wrote it according to the old brief... hadn't checked the new developments... Surprised

Nandini Deka
from Bombay |

it changed many days back and commented upon few pages back on this thread too

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Why?

May be because very few entries were received. The same thing was done was Diesel contest also.

@ JN The current topic also has the previous topic as a part of it. So, entries written according to the previous topic will also be valid! Laughing

Avadhoot
from Jabalpur |

Storme is a car and not a spaceship and it can't get out of the planet.

IMHO, topic has become  more pragmatic now.Smile

And  contests are  held for the promotion of the product only.

Anita
from Bhubaneswar |

In my Sci-fi entry, my Tata Safari Storme is an All-In-1-Explorer Vehicle that helps us get the best from the Universe! Smile

I loved giving wings to my imagination and saving Planet Earth as per the initial brief! Innocent

Now, I really believe- I AM EXPLORER! Cool

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

In my post, the hero moves to space in a spaceship, not storme Undecided

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Contest still open! Surprised

Avadhoot
from Jabalpur |

 wake them up.Wink

Anita
from Bhubaneswar |

Can we still send entries?

I have thought of so many Explorer stories! Managed to submit just one! Smile

Would so love to share more! But, only 1 prize per person, right?

Razi

Good Morning Contest !!!

Avadhoot

one price : one submitter:: multiple entries: higher probability Cool

Razi
from Malappuram |

I hate probability..!Sealed
