The Indian Cooking Knol-edge Contest

Most of you may already know about the Indian Cooking Knol-edge Contest run by the Google India team. In case you haven't heard about it yet or haven't had the time to read the email, here are the details once again. The sooner  you get started on this, the more chances you stand of winning fame, fortune (read Sanjeev Kapoor!) and awesome prizes!!


Let me break down the necessary details of the contest for you:

1. The contest is run by Google India. Yes, Google. As in the search company. Awesome, no? :)

2. The idea is to submit recipes in one of the following Indic Languages - Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada or Malayalam using Indic Transliteration What this means is, you don't need a special keyboard or even writing knowledge in any of these languages. If you can speak it, you can write recipes using it! For more information, do check out this page

3. Don't worry if none of that made sense. Click here to check out some samples recipes. 

4. You can submit any Indian recipe either previously used in your blog or from scratch. You can add a plug for your blog which may result in some extra traffic. Sweet! 

5. The contest ends on June 20, 2009 and winners will receive Sanjeev Kapoor cookbooks and prizes worth 150 USD from Google!!

6. Raring to go? Click in the contest entry link from this page and start sending in your recipes. You can submit as many recipes as you want!

7. Here is the link to the FAQ page in case you get stuck. 

Good luck and may the best recipes win :) 

Notes

- You may have follow-up questions. Although I may not know all the details to help you out, do leave a comment if you are really (really really) stuck. The FAQ page should answer most of your questions though. 

- Neither Nags nor Edible Garden is directly linked to this contest. All disputes and other issues are to be dealt with Google India team directly (I love how important that point sounds)

  2. Enjoy the contest. It's hard for me type in one or two posts a week as you know how long they are, so I try not to involve in too many other things!:D
