Hi Indiblogger Team,
I am posting this suggestion as it might help in future contests.
I would like some clarity please about the requirements which are put under the heading of 'Rules'. For the recent contest on Blind List, to a query about the hashtags and social media sharing handles, Nihal Lazarus replied: "The handles and hashtags of the Brand / Campaign are mentioned in the rules in an effort to urge participants to use them when they are promoting their posts via those respective channels."
As per my understanding, whatever is put under 'Rules' means that it must be done. If the hashtags and handles of the brand/campaign are not mandatory, it would be good to put that instruction/request separately. Of course, when we click on the 'Rules' it then shows as 'Contest rules and guidelines'. So I wanted to suggest: why not have 'Rules' separate and 'Guidelines' separate, with the former being mandatory and the latter optional? I think this would provide greater clarity and not confuse participants, not to mention them worrying, worrying, worrying if their entries have followed the contest requirements
