Blogged-Off

// April 24th, 2006 // General // 1,390 views

Hmm…so the News24 Blog-Off came with little fanfare, got a few mentions here and there and well then…nothing. Touted as the “Great South African Blog-Off”, it seems to have fizzled down to an odd post on the internet some time ago.

“13. By entering the main competition, you have also agreed to receive e-mail notification announcing the winner(s), once the draw has been made. The e-mail will be sent to every one who enters and will be a once-off communication from News24.”

According to the site, the winners were to be announced on the 18th of April. Have they, ‘cos I checked my mailbox and received nothing.

Anyone? Someone?

    Damien posted about the same thing on coda.co.za - I commented to say that they also mentioned on the rules that they have the authority to ‘withdraw’ the competition… which they probably did.

    What was this all about? I didn’t even hear about this competition. Was it even promoted anywhere?

    It wasn’t really promoted by News24 at all. I happened to stumble on it by chance one day, then Joblog, In my Nes and others posted about it…. strange.

    Thanks for reminding me. There seems to be no email address or telephone number to find out what’s up.

    Tripeak: I don’t see in the rules where they say they can withdraw the competition, only that they can change the prizes…but I could have missed it…

    Anyway!

    Well deserved for Peas - I think she was a worthy contender….

    Pity the organisers didn’t let anyone else know of the outcome.
