And the Winner of Blog08 Competition is…

October 06, 2008 / by / 9 Comments

Well, in true X Factor style, I’m not going to tell you just yet…

We received a handful of excellent contributions. Alison once again proved she is an excellent writer and I particularly liked the line about “not scaling Everest, fighting insurgents or hanging with the A-list…”. I might have to pick up some writing tips from you one day.

Then again, Sandrine posted a pretty entertaining video, taking the please please please please let me win route. Nice work Sandrine, certainly made me laugh. poem was pretty excellent too.

Lulu’s approach was a bit different, although I’m not sure how pissing your children off would be a good thing : – ).

No, for me, there was only one winner. I knew as soon as I saw it. Not only did it make me laugh, but I’m also very much looking forward to reading a clogblog, a blog all about clogs if you will. And then of course there was the music which was just the icing on the cake.

So the prize of return flights to Amsterdam, travel insurance and a free ticket to Blog08 goes to Epicurienne for this video about why she deserves to go…

Thanks once again to Ernest-Jan at Blog08 for providing the free ticket and of course to Essential Travel for setting up the flight tickets and travel insurance.

Epicurienne , please get in touch ASAP so we can sort out the logistics. Also, it would be great if you would come back and write a review of Blog08 for LondonBloggers.net.

    Wow! Thank you! I thought this was the best competition yet, and I was up against some seriously high-calibre entrants! There are a lot of exclamation marks here!
    Okay, kids. Watch this space. Now I have to find out where to buy some serious clogs.

    Thanks again and I promise to promote us all as best I can.

    Warm wishes (with big blushes)

    Epic
    PS Andy – I’ll be in touch tomorrow re: logistics.

    Peter and Lolly – thank you both. I’ll bring back lots of photos of clogs. I’m now wondering how it’ll feel on the day of Blog08 when I walk into a roomful of strangers in my Big Blog Clogs. Should be interesting!

    Lolly – I thought your entry was fantastic. Anyone who hasn’t seen it yet should check it out on the competition comments page.

    Congrats Epic!!!

    I’m rolling on the floor laughing thinking about you going about Amsterdam met KLOMPEN!!! I hope you’ll wear them in the plane too. I think you can also stuff some newspapers in them to keep you warm in the cold weather.

    I am soooo looking forward to reading your clog adventures!

    Woohoo!
