Visit Wales have launched a blog competition to find some of the best blogs written about experiences in Wales. Up for grabs is a weekend stay in a luxury boutique hotel in Wales. It’ll also be a good way to promote your blog (make sure you get Trackbacks from visitwales.com!) So if you write or know of a great blog about adventures in Wales, why not enter it? (Let us know about your blog by leaving a comment here too.)
Roger Pride, Director of Marketing at Visit Wales, said: “We are looking for great Welsh stories, posts and articles out there in the blogosphere and the rest of Web. We want to encourage more people to write about Wales and share their experiences with us and in return we’ll reward those that do.”
Blog themes and topics could cover; memorable visits; events (eg. literary, music or food festivals); places to stay; activities and things to do in Wales. The stories will also be published on the Visit Wales blog (presumably from all entrants, not just the winners). The list of nominees will be reduced to a shortlist and then an eventual winner will be selected. The closing date for nominations is 12pm 15th August 2009. More information here.
My cats have a blog that draws far more attention than I do. So far they have been in the Sun, The Mail, The Western Mail, on radio and are soon to be on TV with Joanna Lumley. Also they are soon to be featured in The Financial Times.
