theBeijinger.com Reviewer Challenge Winners!!

It was huge. Nearly 100 participants and 1,000 reviews, all competing for one shiny new iPhone. The Beijinger.com Reviewer Challenge drew to a close on Tuesday, and since then we’ve been busy trawling through the reviews, crunching numbers, and drawing up ballots. Yesterday afternoon we did the draw, pulled out a winning ticket, unfolded it and found this name… drum roll…

The winner of theBeijinger.com Reviewer Challenge draw was missprinted!

One of the most enthusiastic reviewers, missprinted earned herself four tickets in the draw by penning 20 reviews of venues around Beijing. Congratulations!!

And we have two more prizes to give away.

Chinaaussie scores him/herself a pair of quality Chilean El Toqui wines (Cabernet Sauvingnon and Chardonnay, both 2007) for penning the most reviews during the competition period, turning in an astounding 43 posts!

Mistakenforstars also scores a pair of Chilean El Toqui wines for penning the most creative review, with this scathing assessment of student hangout Propaganda:

Hot Box of Suck
"This dark shoebox of a club is probably my least favorite bar/club in Beijing. I would not say this lightly. Stepping into the cavernous confines of the club's "dance floor", I can almost smell the STDs in the air. Raging dickheads waddle through the throngs of students, parting the human seas to reach the bar, where they can purchase another cheap glass of death booze with which to fortify themselves for a night of creepster-ing and generally being an a-hole. Did I mention that I don't like the clientele? Anyway, if you're on a budget and like hearing the same ten or fifteen songs played in a row, I suppose Propaganda is the place for you."

Ouch!

Congratulations to misprinted, chinaaussie and mistakenforstars.
