Contest Buzz Giveaway : $10 / Rs 500 Gift Voucher

As promised, here is the giveaway from ContestBuzz - A listing of skill-based contests, competitions & challenges... as part of the giveaway bonanza - Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway :

$10 Amazon gift certificate / Rs 500 IndiaPlaza.in gift certificate

I decided to giveaway vouchers since shipping from India to the west is not cheap and why to just waste it on shipping!

Guidelines:
1. Leave a comment with your email id and country
2. Take a minute to write your opinions about ContestBuzz & you double your chances of winning
3. You do not have to be a blogger

I will post the winner by Saturday noon (India time). Good Luck :)

Cheers!
Rajiv

Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway : ContestBuzz is participating

Hello,

I am Rajiv Renganathan, the blogger behind ContestBuzz. I am happy to inform you that ContestBuzz is participating in a very interesting idea mooted by Shannon in her blog "Rocks In My Dryer". Shannon is calling it "Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway". Simply put, Shannon will list all bloggers who are givingaway next week. (ContestBuzz will be one of them.)

Come 23rd July (Monday), I will announce the giveaway from ContestBuzz and you can enter the draw. Over the coming weekend, I will decide the giveaway. You are welcome to post suggestions. :)

Come back next week to join the "giveaway carnival" with ContestBuzz, Shannon and other participant blogs.

Cheers!
Rajiv

P.S- It is an irony that I am running a "lucky draw" though ContestBuzz is only about "skill-based" contests! I just could not keep away from such a creative idea.
