Each ticket is worth €1100 so it is well worth entering for anyone that is interesting in going.

Here is how you could win:

the Irish (or Ireland-based) blogger who makes the best suggestion for an original Web Application with an Irish focus will win the tickets.

There are of course a few rules to the competition, check out Web2.0 Ireland for more Information. All entries to be sent to the Web2Ireland Editor.

Better get my thinking cap on….

I'm sure if I put my mind to it and used some of the tricks like  Eoghan Macabe I could get another 16 people.   Eoghan is giving away €2000 worth of website design to a lucky subscriber in the next few weeks.  

I haven't managed to blog as much as I would like lately.  I did have a new years resolution to blog more since November but I have been extremely busy with work.   I hope I win that competition Eoghan is running so I can get him to develop the Passion Development web site.  It is on my very long list of things to do but with getting married in July and buying a new house at the moment it looks like it is going to stay on the long finger for the moment. 

Best of luck to all in Paul's competition, I'm hoping to make it along to the awards so see you all there.
