Holiday Time: European Summer Contest

By My status Andrew Brennan on June 22, 2007 in Odds and ends.

In case you haven’t heard about it yet, there’s a very cool competition going on right now that’s open to Skype users in the UK until 15 July. The first prize is fantastic, if I do say so myself—it’s a €5000 (about £3360) travel voucher. I’d think that a pretty amazing holiday could be arranged with that much money. The second prize (Fujitsu-Siemens laptop—two available) and third prize (SMC WiFi phone—10 available) are pretty nice too.

So how do you enter? You can either purchase a special summer hardware bundle (which includes a Skype Pro subscription, SkypeOut credit, and/or Voicemail) and fill out the entry form after your purchase, or you can enter without purchase (link on the bundle page).

There are 2 questions—the first is

If you could call anyone in the world, who would you choose to call and why?

If you dig into the Terms and Conditions of the contest you’ll see that the answer to this question is judged on “Creativity and Originality – 80%; Clarity of Writing and ability to communicate – 20%”—so it’s going to take a little creativity. The second question is

How many months of free voicemail is offered with the WiFi phone package for Skype?

That one just takes a little digging on the promotion site.

So who would you call? A celebrity? A politician? Your beloved (but deceased) gran? Give it a think and send in an entry for your chance to win.
