A Blog contest by a Blogger, for Bloggers. If I have to make it a reality, I need support for each one of you. Please leave a comment on the practicality of this. Thank you.

For more details - http://vineshbalan.blogspot.com/2011/04/blog-contest-may-2011.html

Update - I thought I'd get some participants from IndiBlogger, came to me as a huge dissapointment. Had barely 3 Participants, and now my spirit on Blogging has gone down. I have decided to Withdraw this Contest, with only 4 participants, there is no meaning in it. And I'm afraid the Winner Vyshnavi will have to walk out without a Prize. I'm really sorry.

Wow, Thanks Rohan! I'l rewrite the post adding more positive thoughts. But seriously - I don't have a Prize to give :(

I was going to refer you to one of mine prevoius contests which went well , went back to my archive to fetch the post and to my horror ! A few of my posts got corrupted ! I had a major traffic spike of a few thousand visitors and server crashed  resulting in the post getting injured . 

Nw I will rebuild the posts from cache now , here is the link anyway (thankfully the comments and registrations remain intact , thank lord Wprdpress for that !)

Guest Blogging Contest At Techlunatic

Here are some other contests that I organiesd as a team on my partner blog , got a lot of sponsors for this one, and results yet to be announced 

Contest At Machoarts

I hope that helps you have better insight into how contests work . As for not having sponsors , no one can really help in tha regard . It becomes a big problem to lure sponsors for everyone , however big or small the blog is . Only we know how much pain we had while getting the sponsors , so you will have to work it that way .

Ok, already working on it! Suggestions are welcome, I have rewritten the post.

Good initiative try to polish as per ROHAN's guidelines, if you get hold of a good sponsorer than you can dish out prizes galore Cool

Need an expert on that, for now its Me. If any experts interested, would be happy to hand over. Interested?

Animesh

I am more interested in participating as my blog still needs exposure:)

Would be better if it is done by a panel

Vinesh Balan
from Bangalore |

Will be done!

Arti
from Mumbai |

Ask some bloggers of repute and who are a bit experienced to judge the posts...
Maybe 4-5 or even a single person might also suffice!!

Animesh
from Mumbai |

I think the panel should always comprise of more than one person.

Vinesh Balan

@Arti! Was searching for a way to contact you, just put a message as comment on your blog. Need your help on this!

Arti

Shoot an Indimail

Vinesh Balan

I'm not much used to Indiblogger. When I click on Indimail it says you need mutual connections?

umesh derebail

I believe Arti, Pramod, Rohan etc can be in the panel of judges....you take it subject or category wise too.  Waiting for you to launch the contest. good luck
