October Competition

Just to let you know the theme for October's competetion on Dooyoo will be HALLOWEEN.

It covers all categories and here is Dooyoo's description of it:

Quote :

October’s Monthly Competition: Halloween!
The month of ghosts, goblins, and ghouls is upon us. What this also means is that we’re in for a month of scary movies, cute costumes, and maybe even a malfunctioning washing machine that might as well be haunted. With that in mind, this month’s competition will be open to all categories, as Halloween draws ever closer.
The best “Halloween” themed reviews, which can be about any product, will be walking way with bonus miles at the end of the month. The winners will be selected from any review crowned this month that adheres to the suggested theme…so remember to balance quality with the morbid motif. Don’t forget to write the word “Halloween” as the first word in your headline. That said, happy haunting!
-the dooyoo team

Hope we get loads of entries. x

It says all categories, but can you confirm that speakers corner is included please.

yep - evey category - if you can do a Halloween linked review then it will be accepted.

So do you have to differentiate somehow that a review is designed for this comp (like in the heading) or are all the crowned reviews just read through to find out which have a linkable theme?

No - you have to put the word HALLOWEEN in the title so Dooyoo can see which are for the comp.

Hopefully dooyoo will get the official notice up and the winners of the photography comp up tomorrow.

Get those Halloween reviews coming in!

hee hee, me too! They are coming out now though as quite a few added today. x

Im thinking to write a review on magazines/photography section which somehow has a relation to halloween theme. it is about "black and white" imaging... any comment pls?

Good luck. That's a hard one but it could work well.

Thank you. It seems the members somehow appreciated it.

I got something written out, but still have nowhere to post it! A waiting man's curse is a hard one to bare.

Are you waiting for a suggestion to come through then?

Yes, to put it simply.

Quite a few entries being added now but am a bit fed up they haven't managed to update the news and comp page yet!

I thought of posting a gripes with dooyoo review, informing members that the competition was on because it really is not fair on those that take no part in forums like this

Not really since they still have a lot of time. And this site is for others to use and practically every serious member knows about it. Suppose it'd bring a few members here though so it cnt be bad.

I have put it on my profile, and I think Wendy has been quite prolific telling people. There hve been quite a few entries I think hasn't there.. Some are spilling over to the orange side.

Its in my profile too.

But we are 12 days into the competition and members that are rating reviews and reading them know nothing about it.

The newsletter link on the main page is now updated telling everyone, so if they click on that they will know. I will ask Jared again when he thinks it will be updated.

Hello, really enjoyed writing my halloween competition review - a very good idea it was too!

Yeah, it is a good idea but there seems to be some confusion over getting the details added to teh main page! grr

The winners have now been announced and it will be posted on dooyoo shortly.

1st Prize is awarded to Duncantorr, proving that sometimes a short opinion can really shine with his review of Halloween in general, called "Halloween Schmalloween".

2nd prize goes to Berlioz II, for the review of Jerry Goldsmith’s score of The Omen, called (unsurprisingly) "The Omen of Hallowe’en".

3rd prize goes to Malibu Jenny, for her oddly eerie review of Dove Deodorant, titled: "A Spooky Mist on Halloween", posted on the Friday the 13th.

Again !! we have a star in our midst !! Well done to all winners !
