UPDATED – PS2 contest round 2 – the rules

January 9, 2007

Here are some guidelines for round 2 of the PS2 competition…

The winner of the first round of the competition, Kamlesh, can compete in this round too.  However, in a case where he wins again, he won’t
be awarded the PS2.  Special arrangements will be made for a different prize.

Also, if the difference in score between him and the runner up is less than 200 points, the runner up will receive the PS2.

So what I am trying to say is, to avoid all this confusion, Priyanka and others who want the PS2…roll up your sleeves and start promoting CampusChai harder than before.  You can’t let the same person win twice!!!

UPDATED
Also, this time around there will be prizes given for 2nd and 3rd place.   The 2nd place holder will get an iPod Shuffle and the 3rd place holder will receive a digital camera.  Feb-15 will mark the end of the contest.

Good luck!

You asked and we delivered…

January 2, 2007

Although we don’t particularly like the idea of extending the contest due to a variety of reasons, we have had a great number of requests asking us to do so. So we we have decided to extend the contest until Feb 28. All counters will be reset to zero starting yesterday and everyone will have the same opportunity to participate.

We are also looking for people to submit articles on CampusChai related to placement/recruitment/interview options. The prize will involve an opportunity to work as an marketing intern at CampusChai. Please contact us at marketing@campuschai.com for further details.
