I am Explorer Contest
It's time for some creative imagination! You are no longer bound by the laws of nature and reality. Create your own land, the creatures and terrains.
You have been chosen by planet earth to head explorations into an unknown land. Write a blog post on your brave journey and your discoveries across the final frontier!
Check out 'I am Explorer' contest here. Apart from the flipkart vouchers for regular entries, there are also prizes for the ( 5 ) best photo blogs and ( 1 ) video blog.
Reason: --
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 :/
so today is the last date right ?! :) Will there be any extension ?!
No extension. See this tweet : https://twitter.com/indiblogger/status/384630099313569792
Done
Paper, colour pencils, scissors and tape - and I am done with my entry!
Now, I want to make a video.
make it faasst..\m/
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.
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?
What are the things you needed for the video..?
No extension.. :x
yes extention
Yes is a Bank.. "Yes Bank"
I think we all need to start writing for this!
Extension looks unlikely...
Just found the following tweet (posted 17 hours ago) in Tata Safari's Twitter page:
@Indiblogger: 30th September is the last date to submit ur blog about "I am Explorer". Have u submitted ur entry yet? http://goo.gl/PmISgE
Seeing all these maybe they might have a change of heart!
Majority demand! If yes, wish we got an announcement today itself!
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)
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.
thnks Ranjith :)
Extension? :D
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?
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! 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!
Thank you Ranjith. I sent them a mail, hopefully will get a reply before its too late. I will just write and submit as you said there is nothing I will lose.
u can enter...give my address to them for prize delivery if u win it
no
prize bribary..!!
I think it would be extended this time as they posted an update on facebook saying 3 days left!
Ranjith, it means that it's indeed ending at 30th
Yes
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!
I too don't know if I will be able to manage it.
I want to skip this contest but the number of prizes are tempting me. 72 prizes! High probability of winning something
i've not started anything...i have to write the ambipur review too...which to write???
i want prizes
need extention
Extension Voting..!
No extention.
@BM: Voting is happening in India and not in HarryPotterLand, so only one vote per candidate.
@raji: u seem to be exercising 'vote to none' option !
Blank Voting cheque form me. Kindly add as much as needed.
#Extension :)
Extension please?
lol....me was thinking same............i havent bought my pencils/paper yet
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."
ps: Time to grab popcorns
lol at Avadhoot..
Ranjith.. is there any fantasy at Hyderabad..?
For the first time, I crave extension.
I have a story in mind and if this is not extended, I will have to write it in 2-3 hours, which might result into a shabby entry.
owl gandhi hero?

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.
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?
I wonder if they would be first filtering entries based on whether there is a link to the sponsor's website or not.
But to be on the safe side, why not include it? It is just a link and nothing else.
This contest is all about being crazy! So, submit them without a second thought.
Yes! Yes!
The only thing I know is that your college experiences / videos will definitely be a bit funny.
i might use too...cos i still dont have pen/pencil or paper
You can take photos with a camera also.
How many days will you take to buy a pencil?
i'll need paper too..unless they give the diary in advance and i can draw in it
Draw on the paper in which they wrap the dosas you eat every day.
they wrap in butter paper n news paper and sometimes in tin foil...how do i draw in those
kem hawa?
hurrrrrr...
huuurr huurrr is indi-slogan
why ? we do hurrr hurrrrr at indi meets
I never attended an IndiMeet. So, I don't know anything about this hurr-ing!
it is like a war cry...u must attend...u'll feel liberated
its a fun war cry....
They WON'T ( the phoo blog prize )
Or do they have a chance of winning if they are turned into memes photos?
wats meme photos?
I don't know if meme photos is the correct term.
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.
Not very regular on indiblogger.
But wanted to know..This contest..how mnany of you have already written..I wanted to know how fictious a blog post can be. If it fictious can some one use photographs from net.
Also can i also be trips from what i have already did.
Thanking you.

(1) fictitiousness % :0 to 100 %, it depends on your creativity and past experiences.
(2) net photographs can be used.
(3) yes, you can write about your trips.
If it fictitious can some one use photographs from net.
You can but it won't help you win the 5X prizes for the best photo blogs.
P.S. Don't sign your forum replies with your blog link.
Now, that I have unearthed this topic after one month, it's time for everyone to come and say 'I didn';t receive my book'
Ranjith, correct reply on the wrong thread
i didnt recieve..and u posted in wrong thread
I opened that books thread and was wondering where my reply went! So, it landed here!
It wasn't my mistake. Some bug in the forum software as someone said the other day.
Ranjith, yes, yes. Even Pakistan is responsible for it.
How am I responsible Ranjith?
The air coming out of your ears transported the reply to a different thread.
Okay! I have a query :/
For our videoblog, do we need to upload a video on our blog or can we embed our video from our respective youtube page.
I have made a video, but I'm not able to upload it on my Tumblr blog, because it extends the duration of 5 minutes (Tumblr allows us only to post a video of max 5 mins). So, if I will upload my video on my youtube account and embed that on my Tumblr blog, would my entry be valid or not :/
you can..
Thanks, Avadhoot and Nandini :)
You are the first person who talked about submitting a video entry! Looking forward to see it.
Thanks! :)
