Now, that’s pure luck! Thanks Mr.Agarwal, for this golden opportunity.

Make the winning entries public unless you want to come across as a complete shithead to everyone who put in time and effort into this “contest”.

We are eager to know what makes them winner, just curious whether you will be sharing their entries for the competition with us to know what made them different than our entries OR will it be just a biased competition (as most of the winner from you own country!)
Note: I don’t think this comment will ever go on public anyways! So this is just for you!

why do people get angry?? the prize was a computer package, not the cure for cancer.

i enjoy these contests, from coming up with a unique idea, to seeing it come to life, to waiting for a decision to be made. i, too, become absorbed by them and let them consume way too much of me, BUT i don’t let them get the best of me.

the part i don’t enjoy is the aftermath and the inevitable cacophony of criticism about the winning entry. i don’t enjoy reading demands for explanations or independent interpretations of contest rules.

and since i appear to be in the midst of a rant on the topic, i’ll add that i find it both objectionable and inappropriate for entrants, or their drones, to attempt to influence the judges decisions with posts or comments. magnanimous promises and innuendos and sympathy eliciting posts are inappropriate and have no place unless specifically called for by the contest. by engaging in the aforementioned tactics, to win a “prize”, you cheapen some of the most noble of all human attributes.

when charity is genuine, it is sacred and private to the giver. it should never be part of a contract ie.- “if i win, i will…”. if it’s truly in your heart to give then you will give regardless. At least that’s my take on charity.

exploiting your condition to evoke an undeserved sympathetic response should be a criminal offense. if things in your life are bad winning a computer(s) will not help. you need to ask for a kind word or a hug or prayers. posts such as “i am typing this at the public library, with the one finger that the incurable flesh eating virus did not devour, because my house burned down while i was feeding the needy with food left over from my parent’s wake” really disgust me. if its true, its tragic, but you should be seeing a therapist not entering contests.

and dont even get me started on “i deserve it more” or “i need it more”. if thats not what the contest is about, don’t make yourself look petty by using such phrases to try to put yourself at the front of the line.

Let these contests bring out your best, not your worst. I’m always confused about how a person is seemingly kind and considerate only to be transformed into a venom spewing cobra when things dont swing their way.

my oldest son was angry when he discovered i hadn’t won. he asked me “aren’t you mad?”. I told him i was disappointed, but not mad, and added the old pearl of wisdom that if you can’t change it, you have to accept it. so rather than take a prize package from this contest, i take knowing that i set a good example for my son, an example that will serve him far more than any computer ever will.

remember, while it is discouraging to lose, losing does not make you a loser.

my rant is now complete!

Congratulations to All Winners.

Amit, It would be nice idea to share comments given by all winners.

Congratulations to the winners!!!

Have a blast.

Congratulation to all the winners

Congrats to all the winners

share their entries.

Congratulations to all the winners and wish you Happy Holidays and all the best for 2009.

Congratulations to chunky Gupta for getting second prize………

Congos to the winners.
Very exciting list of Gifts there!!

Wow … its the first time I have won something so big. Congratulations everyone !!!

hey,

wait what a coincidence, the first prize winner shares his name with the author of this blog…..

The comments by “Marc on 12.22.08 ” remind us that there are many sore losers out in the world.
Thankfully the majority of comments have been from positive, happy people. Yes, it will be good to see the suggestions that the winners made. Congrats to them all!

Yeah, seemed a little biased as well. Oh well.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS! :)

You won’t see the suggestions coz it’s an inside job. The author knows the prize winner PERSONALLY. The author is not indulging in charity, his blog rating gets a boost from these so called sham contests. The simple thing to do here to shut up “sore losers” like myself is to post the winning entries. Digital Inspiration has always been a blog where the author has unhesitatingly shared information, even alluding to his own income and hits at times. So why act deaf now? Do the decent thing and post the winning entries!

To anyone who wants to verify for him/herself please Google both names “Amit Varma” and “Amit Agarwal” together.

Congratulations and Merry Christmas to all of you and also to those who had participated in this contest.
Hope to hear some more contest from Amit Sir !

congratulations to all the winners :)

well i lost but i’m beginning to think that participation itself is a reward
