How to apply for a bloggers pass?

This year the theme for SIME Stockholm is Passion Wins – Passion for digital opportunities, passion for networking, passion for new businesses and a lot of passion for having fun!

In that line, we decided to have a little voting contest that is as follows:
1. Write a blog post on your existing blog on connecting passion to digital opportunities – what your passion is and how you plan to realize this passion of yours. The objective is to quantify your passion in well written words and what passion(s) are you willing to pursue the world’s end for. Just a note that, although passion is a very emotional theme, we are looking for connecting passion with digital opportunities – for instance, my passion is to use digital to connect people and brands online and offline.
2. Once you are done with the blog post, go to http://sime.uservoice.com and post your URL to the blog there.
3. Copy the link, send it to your friends and get busy trying to spread the word to your network. All votes from uservoice, likes from posting on our facebook page, retweets (with mentions to @simeblog) are counted to select the winners!
4. Sit back and wait for the results
Some rules:
1. Although likes and retweets count, the most important is to have good quality content in your blog post / essay about passion and digital opportunities.
2. The application for bloggers pass is available from now till September 30
3. On September 30 we announce the final list of selected entries.
4. English is preferred since the conference is completely in English. If you have never written in English and don’t feel confident, go ahead and use your native tongue.
5. Don’t be shy! We want to connect your passion to opportunities.
That pretty much is it. Now go ahead and squeeze your brain juice. The coveted tickets to the most anticipated conference is just a ‘well written and well liked’ blog post away! Good luck we say.
