Drawing of the winner
The brand-new Apple iPad!
Dear Visitors,
Thank you for participating in our Apple iPad competition. We got many blog posts from you. Unfortunately not all of you followed our rules. Therefore only 18 participants entered our draw.
On random.org we conducted drawing to identify the winner. Therefore each participant randomly got a number and random.org identified the winner.
Update
Sorry alltogether for the confusion! We made a mistake by taking a participant into the final list who did not keep the rules of the iPad-contest. Thank you all for pointing out the mistake!
So now here we go again. First of all the list with the participants who kept the rules:
- Esther James
- Sarah Kannenberg
- Ammon
- Chris
- Monika Rix Paxon
- Gianluca
- J.Daniel Barlow
- Robin Inge
- Richard Olivier
- Euan Davidson
- Biamitika
- Jon McGovern
- Andrew Patterson
- Leah Salzyn
- Kim
- Jim
- Cris
- Tina
And the winner is: number 1, Esther James.
Congratulations to the winner of a brand new Apple iPad!
Once the Apple iPad is available, we’ll order it for you. In the next few days we will contact the winner via e-mail.
Thank you for participating in our little contest and you are welcome to follows us on Twitter or join our group on Facebook. In this way you won’t miss any exciting contests in the future!
Thank you!
Your print24 team
Note: Our apologies for the mix-up with this contest. It is the first time that we are holding an international contest and we are still learning how to do things right. Thank you all for your remarks and comments. You are absolutely right, next time we have to make the rules simpler so that everybody understands the rules of the contest the same way. However we will not redraw again because in our opinion Esther James is the legitimate winner of this contest since she followed all our rules. So congratulations to Esther and thank you all for participating!
Once again, we are very sorry!

I concur! I looked over some of the blogs that were posted on the website, and some of them did not even answer the question. It was a post about the contest, but never answered what they would do with it. Print22, I think you need to re-read your own rules and actually read what people wrote. Not to mention some of the blogs didn’t even mention your contest and only spoke of what they would do if they had an iPad. I think I only calculated 8 people that actually followed 100% of the directions. You told people to go back and re-read the directions, however, you didn’t abide by them either.

Contest Rules and Restrictions:
You must be 18+ years of age. Each participant is allowed to participate only once. In addition, the page should exist at least one month and should not be created for this specific competition.
Final entries are due by March 31, 2010. By submitting, you are agreeing to the full rules and restrictions
Leah’s absolutely right: in fact, only 8 entries respect the contest rules!
Please be honest and pick another winner between those who really READ the post and RESPECT the rules…
I would like to also note that twitter is not a blog website, therefore I think a new winner needs to be drawn.
http://twitter.com/about
The fact that Print 22 has not followed their own rules to the contest, including the fact that it is obvious that none of the blogs were read to ensure the eligible 100%, makes me question as to using them as a company.
I concur with Kim too. A new winner needs to be chosen.
C’mon!!! N’15 hasn’t a website/blog/forum!!!!
You didn’t mention social network in the rules…….
So I think his entry is invalid.
1 year ago I won an iPod in a contest blog, but thery cancel my entry for a single missing link (I’ve posted 2 links instead of 3) so…. no ipod for me. Rules were easy and simple…. as yours…. „in your site/blog/forum“.
I think this contest is not fair.
To be honest, if the blogs are not reviewed to see who actually followed rules correctly, and a new winner is not re-drawn, as a graphic designer, I will not be recommending Print 22 and their services to other people within my network and/or clients. A company that cannot abide by their own rules is not a dependable company that I would recommend.
I would like to know why I was taken off of the contestant list? I followed all the rules.
And someone please explain how the contest went from 15 eligible people to 17? Should it have gone down? There are some serious errors here. But congrats to the winner.
Congrats to the winner, but the point is Leah says the truth….
Lose is not good, but lose this way is way worst…………………
Some one picked up, someone kicked out…… lot of mess around here.
I’m really sorry for this contest.
Also ‚cause I told about it on my own website.
My visitors should consider me „not serious to“ if I post this kind of „““contest“““

pazzesco! solo perchè abbiamo contestato, solo perchè è una fregatura, solo perchè volevamo che rispettassero il regolamento siamo stati bannati.
vergogna
@Leah Your name was in the list for the draw. We only missed to publish your name here,sorry – we’re gonna catch up. You were no. 14 in the list. Please write an email to [email protected].
@all After the first wrong draw we checked once again all and saw that there were some people missing. Sorry!
@raoul Sorry, you didn’t keep the rules. You haven´t written how you would use the iPad – your only comment on your blog was explaining our contest and the rules. Sorry!

Another redraw should be done.
Please, check ALL entries. Be sure they respect ALL rules like me and other guys did.
Thank you ;-)
nice jim
So… now number 15 was mine!!
Lol, really dudes, you’ve made such a big mess…
@print24 thanks for adding me to the list, just wanted to make sure i wasn’t forgotten about.
Jim – I concur. I’ve looked through the blogs myself. hehe … Maybe I’m just being devils advocate. haha.
@print24 I think next time a little different route should be taken for the contest with all the confusion. haha … I understand the idea of you getting more hits for your webpage, by having people blog about it, really good idea, but seriously way too much confusion for the people that don’t know how to read and follow directions.
Ehy dudes, I checked myself and Jim is right… you should make a redraw, there’re many entries that are against the rules… I know I may seem a stressing lawyer, but the prize is so rich that I think everything should be done following carefully your own rules…
Agree with other guys. This contest should be respect not only all rules, but all right entries. As told Jim I took a look to all link…. Pick another winner from a correct list!
Or it’s good the first number picked, so (gosh) the winner is Kim!
Guys the prize it’s not an icecream, it’s an iPad! You can’t make mess it up or people can get angry.
– Make a CORRECT list
– Pick once again a winner
Or this contest it’s only a farce….
One more thing.
Where the hell is the post of the winner?
http://mumsnet.com/blogs/esthermate/
In his/her blog there’s no more…. only a blind link used for itself, not linked anywhere…. and this should be the winner?
This is the way to say „thanks“ to all partecipants?
Think about it…..
Ehy that’s right… in Esther’s blog there’s not the post… that link is blind!!!
One more time… DO THE DRAW PROPERLY PLEASE!!!
I thought I read esther’s blog, maybe she deleted it? unsure.
@print24 please re-review ALL blogs and make sure eligibility is legit, then post the list of all runners with their blogs links. Give all followers a chance to review the list. Then re-draw a winner. Thoughts?
Yessss!!! Leah said it right! I agree completely with her. And, damn, the „““winner“““ deleted the post!!!!! No thanks? No post about it? Nothing of nothing….. nice way to thanks…..
Pls make a legit list, give us all ability to check and THEN re-draw a winner.
And remember my last comment:
1. Eshter James
There is no more the post of this contest……….

Silence…………………….
And so? You think n.1 should be the winner?
Where is her post?
And why chose a number between 18 entries if only 12 were elegible?
Re-Draw the winner!
This contest is unfair.
The winner removed the post…. I’ve it already in on top on my homepage!
I agree with Jim, this list is not valid.
So or you redo the list and pick a correct winner or the winner is n.15.
What’s that mess??? People not legit to win, an incorrect list, 2 numbers picked!
This is unfair, and not LEGAL
Duuuudes… so???
What’s your explanation about all this mess? I know it’s almost Easter… but you shouldn’t leave us like this…
Make a new list and pick a new winner… and this time please FOLLOW YOUR OWN RULES!!!
Was this contest an april fool?
Although I did not win, I just want to state to the people that wrote about me, I have had that blog for over a year. I just recently decided to do a redesign and start from scratch with posts. I had previously published some vacation slideshows to upload to iTunes which I no longer wanted.
Congrats to the winner.
Ok Sarah, but there are posts for less than a month… so I can open 50 blog on blogspot, put a contest and say „this blog have 3 years…. I’ve just made a redesign….“.
Maybe next contest of print24 I’ll do this way….they don’t check! :-D
We want explanations. It would be very nice from you, print24.
2 wong lists
2 numbers picked
no reply about our posts.
So, this is what a serious company do? I don’t think so! ;-)
Yes, Print24 some explanation would be much appreciated.
Could you please tell us something?
We’re still waitin‘ for a reply…
„Next time“?!?!?!?
Maybe you have not understand a simple thing….
The list you made consist in 18 numbers.
Almost 6 of them was not elegible.
So the correct list should have 12-13 and then the number picked can’t be n.1…..it’s all a mess!!!!!
LEGITIMATE WINNER!!!??!??!?!?
There’s no more even the post of this contest!!!!
And the list you put on Random.org have more entries than the legitimate.
IT’S NOT FAIR!!!
Why picked another number if „it’s the same“ for you!!!
ABSOLUTE ILLEGIT CONTEST.
I’ll do everything to stop this! Even the number picked stink me alot. It’s only a single image… why not pubblish THE UNIQUE CODE of the picked num.????
Now I’m really angry.
You made this, I’ll go my way to make you sorry of this!!!!!!!!
ABSOLUTE UNFAIR!!!! SHAME SHAME SHAME!!!!!!!!!
