I have nothing against only doing reviews in certain sections to win, but you have to admit there is a sick irony that those of us who want to enter because we can't afford a holiday, can't because we haven't been on one to review!

When I saw the comp details, I did wonder if someone would comment on this.

It could limit who can enter - and how often you can enter as well. Someone who goes on lots of holidays could enter lots of times. It would be good if you could enter the comp by doing other reviews or adding something to mumsnet local.

I guess the prize giver may have been quite specific in how they wanted to competition organised - don't know if this is the case.

You can do a review for a baby backpack instead.

I wonder if it's so you enter a specific competition - if it was just enter any review, you might end up winning something useless.

I can see what you mean about needing to specify certain review categories for certain competitions, but some review categories (book reviews, parenting tips etc) allow most people to easily enter a particular competition.

I read that as a back pack holiday....

Flamesparrow Sat 07-Feb-09 14:15:12

Does an ergo count as a back pack? or a sling?

Flamesparrow Sat 07-Feb-09 14:15:43

I assumed it is normally the sections they don't have many reviews on

I will forgive them though as there is a non-holiday based review option available (don't ask why I have done 3 posts for one thing).

Sorry Alexia!

Backpacks seem to be the things that only go on your back I think.

Maybe they'll add the sling category in if you ask nicely...

They have a sling cat, but I can't win a holiday there wink

I meant they might make it one of the categories for the competition.
