Announcing our first judge – Ciara Whelan
As part of our new Lisbon competition, where you join up with 3 friends and compete to be in the top 3 teams to win a weekend away to Lisbon, we are giving away bonus points for the next 5 weeks. So as to be completely unbiased we have enlisted the help of some expert judges to award the 1,500 bonus points to the lucky teams.
Ciara Whelan
Our first judge is the lovely Ciara Whelan from The Holiday Show on TV3. We’ve nabbed Ciara inbetween trips abroad to check out the reviews on the site. All next week(starting march 8th) Ciara will be checking in to find who she thinks is the best reviewer in the competition.
As Ciara is well into her travel I’m sure she’ll be keeping an eye on all travel related reviews -- hotels you’ve stayed in or sights you’ve visited. Ciara herself is giving some great advice on where to grab a snack at Dublin Airport. Check out Ciara’s profile on truvo.ie for more great tips. Judges will be looking for all round contributors to the site -- useful and interesting reviews are the way to go! Not only that but all photos and guidebooks made will stand to you when your profile is being reviewed.
If you want to nominate someone for reviewer of the week feel free to comment below with a link to their profile (our yours if you think it’s that good :))
The reviewer of the week will be announced on the Tuesday after(so in this case March 16th) -- giving the Judge some time to thrall through your reviews.
Some reminders about the competition.
- make sure your teams is activated before you write reviews
- review must be over 40 words -- that’s about 3 lines -- here’s a sample 48 word review for reference
- Reviewing places that haven’t been reviewed gets you 40 points -- that’s double the points for a place that’s already reviews.
- Take your camera when you go out and about -- 20 points for each photo uploaded to places.
- Get your friends to follow you on the site -- each follower on truvo.ie bags you another 5 points.
Happy reviewing -- any problems or questions just email me -- brid [at] truvo.ie
