Competition: Win a Sony Ericsson W595

*** COMPETITION CLOSED *** Thank you to everyone who entered. Emmett has won the Sony Ericsson W595. Congratulations! *** Happy Christmas everyone!!! Happy Christmas to all our Culch.ie readers. As part of our recent award as Connector.ie Tribe of the Year, we were presented with this lovely Sony Ericsson W595, with a ‘Tattoo’ design by Ed Hardy. To celebrate our award and to thank everyone who supported Culch.ie over the last 9 months, we are offering the phone up for competition.

We are the Connector.ie Tribe of the Year

Last night, at the Connector.ie Christmas Party, Culch.ie was awarded Tribe of the Year. Connector is all about connecting individuals but are equally interested in connecting Tribes, which are communities with shared interests, primarily in the Irish digital sector.

It’s a fun hobby for us all and I can honestly say it is nice to be recognised for our community spirit. Congratulations to all of the Culchies - it’s been brilliant getting to know all of you. I would go one further and say the reason we have been so successful this year is down to the thousands of regular visitors to the site, and especially our regular commenters, some of which now write for Culch.ie. So, thank you to Conor Lynch and Connector.ie for the award and let’s raise a glass … There’s more
