CONTEST MECHANICS

In this competition, the participating blogger writes a review of any blog that is found in the list below, and posts the review to his or her own blog.
Participants from the Blog seminar at City of Koronadal may join this review-writing contest.
Bloggers are encouraged to be diplomatic in their assessments, feedback, etc. (i.e., no unnecessary or excessive criticism nor praise).
Each blogger may have up to 3 unique entries (i.e., reviews of 3 different blogs), which they may post to one or as many blogs that they own. However, a blogger may win only once in this competition. In the event that a blogger is judged to win more than once, he/she will be awarded the higher prize.
Entries must be 150 to 300 words long and must be completely original. Only English, Tagalog, Cebuano, and Hiligaynon may be used for the reviews.
Blogs listed below may be reviewed by anyone who participated in the blog seminar.
This contest runs from 02 February to 02 March 2008. Entries coming in after 11:59PM of 02 March 2008 will no longer be included in the contest. The decisions and pronouncements of the judges and competition organizers made on the day the results are announced will be final.
Official announcement of the winners will be made online on 10 March 2008.
To be considered an entry, the reviewer must clearly state the name of the blog which he/she is reviewing, and provide a hyperlink to the base URL of that blog.
He or she may create a sounding title of his or her review post entry/ies.

Bloggers must comment on this post his or her full name, e-mail address, blog’s URL, and location in order to participate and consider his or her entry an official.

The full URL of the entry must also be provided — not simply your blog’s base address or domain.
