Tour d'Afrique writing contest

Posted on 14 Feb 2009 at 07:15

I have found out from the organisers that a vote does not count unless a comment is left. They make no mention of this in their web site! At the moment, I am trailing the leader by 155 votes. That is a lot of comments, so if you know anyone that is willing to spend a couple of minutes...some might just like to say "push off"!
Thanks for your interest!
Eric.
PS Some friends have had difficlty finding how to vote; I should perhaps have mentioned that, once into the site, you first click on "Win a free trip" and then "View all submissions".
