Though I'm not into any of these contests, what I strongly feel, other than increasing the bulk of grand prizes, allotting more number of prizes (may be in the name of consolation, participation or early bird type things) would involve a majority of bloggers over here and that would profit the sponsor [thinking cap off]
True Anunoy, and with two IPs already announced, only 5 prizes left.
Good luck all you guys! Today's the day, finally! Hoping to stand a chance to blog more about Oman on my blog along with two other bloggers :)

Hi, now that the contest is closed... what happens next? When will the results be announced?

Learnt so much about #BeautifulOman. Now really want to visit! 
Will it really take 3-4 months for the results to be out? 
I wish it was sooner! I've read about 30 entries and everyone seems to have invested so much time in researching and crafting the lovely travel-pieces! 
Good luck to all of us!

Beautiful Posts for #BeautifulOman
Don't see the Quantity... See the Quality!
Anita! You said it Girl :D
Cheers! 
Oman is beautiful, have been hearing it from my best friend since last 2 years.
And finally discovered it myself virtually. Did everything to just make a place in the three. A poem, a video, a sketch and lots of interaction and research.
I am sure each one who has put in efforts is lusting to be there... all the best to everyone.
This is awesome! Oman has some amazing photo opportunities.
Hey guys, would appreciate feedback on my entry to this contest: http://www.indiblogger.in/indipost.php?post=364416 Thanks and all the best to all. :)
Ankita...giving your blog link in forum thread is not allowed.Its against forum rules
Why is it that I cannot promote a post after viewing it?
As always, there is a "View post to promote" icon. By pressing it, the post appears in another tab. I read it, decide to promote it, but the "View post to promote" icon is still there!
Instead, I have to press the "more" icon which pulls up the post in the same tab! I then press the back button, which DOES NOT always bring me back to the post. IF it does, I then can press the "Promote post" icon.
In short, it is EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT to promote posts. WHY?!
Try to promote the post by accessing it from the blogger's profile. It usually works.
Hey guys! Is it really going to take 3-4 months for the winner to be announced? Could some one from the IB team please clarify - Renie, Nihal et al?
it generally takes couple of months ( 2-3 months in most contests ), but could be earlier too
Thanks Nandini. It might be a good idea to give a tentative date for the results too when the contest is announced. Which also implies that deadlines should be deadlines unless participation is too low. I know Renie started a thread on this and have commented there as well. . In any case, all the best to everyone who participated in this one.
@Renie : Any updates on contest results?
Hello!
We are sorry it's taking so long to get the results out. The posts have gone all the way to Oman and are now on their way back! :)
But we are at it and you will hear on it soon!
The posts have gone all the way to Oman and are now on their way back!
They went by road? 
Well, well, well... please get them out fast, Swati... lest they get grey-haired and ask for walking sticks. :)
...and, by the way, I'm enjoying this delay as I wasn't able to participate in this contest. Ha! Ha!!
Thanks for the update Swati 
They went by road?
no, by drones
Isnt it ridiculously late? Are you guys even planning to announce winners and give away prizes??? Totally murders the enthusiasm...
Congrats people
