Now this is something interesting!
ReplyDeleteWell I think the deadline is pretty short, is like 2 weeks or so to prepare, and perhaps too short for publicity period?
I think if make it end of June or early July will be better.

Did consider for a longer contest duration but finally decided a shorter one as this is our first writing contest and thus I am still a little bit clueless on how great the response from the readers.
ReplyDeleteMost of us don't take more than a week to write an informative, helpful and thought-provoking post, do we?
Also, there are four prizes to be given away so I believe if there are less submissions, participants will stand a higher chance to be the winners. This is good consider the objective of the writing contest is really to reward loyal readers, as simple as that. ;-)
yay yay..i am going to participate... =P been wanting to buy a new domain.. =P
ReplyDeleteHmm. It seems pretty timely actually, considering the majority of the student population have either finished their exams or are having their summer holidays...
ReplyDeleteerm.... how many article can we submit?
ReplyDeleteI have written one but another topic comes up my mind =(
You can submit as many posts as you want. However, each person is only eligible to win maximum one of the four prizes regardless how many submission sent ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your replies.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the middle of writing one now =D
At the beginning, I have 2 topics which I could not decided which to write on so I thought I will write both. But now that I am working on one, I think I wouldn't have enough time to write 2 topics... arrgg...
