Personally I don't like the vote for me kind of competition, I don't have a lot of friends who would vote for me. Most of my friends on Facebook are companies who run competitions.

I agree with you, and although I also entered this competition a while back, personally felt that to contact my friends (also small in number) and ask them to vote would be annoying and would risk diminishing their number further (ok, I exaggerate, then they wouldn't really have been friends ). For the same reason, I didn't ask anyone here to vote for me either.

Those kinds of competitions will probably always be won by those who pimp the most loudly and annoyingly (far moreso than anyone has here ), spamming their Facebook pals, texting everyone they know and perhaps making automated bots to vote for them (in fact, I noticed you could vote for yourself from the same machine by using different browsers - if all that's required to spamvote for yourself is deleting some cookies or randomising your browser's user agent string, it would be trivial).

Please keep up the great posts, they are much appreciated.

Agree, wish the promoters would stop doing these types of competitions, they are nothing more than a popularity competition, with the person happy to spam the most winning, I for one will no longer get involved either entering or voting.. waste of time

I absolutely agree with you. More than one of us recently have entered comps that were advertised as a test of skill or knowledge, only to have the t&c altered afterward to make it a popularity contest. I try to stay away from this type as a rule but if the conditions are changed afterward you are sucked in. :-(

It is extremely disappointing to put the effort into a comp like this.

Back to some new ones!

Food and wine magazine have a case of Wolf Blass Presidents collection to give away. Just answer the following question: who is the chef at Gregans castle?

Email your address, name and phone number along with the answer to foodandwine@harmonia.ie and enter wolf blass July as the subject.

There is a competition for a weekend at Dunbrody House and a cookery course on phileadelphia.ie. Entrants must design a unique recipe using the sponsors product.
