Thanks Google. It's great to be part of Google Local guides team and such contests surely gives that extra boost to our enthusiasm. I'm highly excited for Nexus 5X. Looking forward towards more contribution to local guides community.
Hey ! Congrats ! How many reviews have you published during the contest ? Were all with photos ?
Re: Who are the 'Share your India' contest winners ?
I was elated when I found a mail in my inbox that read : Congratulations! Your high-quality reviews on Google Maps won you a LG Nexus 5X. Congratulations to all the winners out there. Keep up the good work, my friends.
I'm that lazy guy who always rate the place (I've been to) in a hurry, move on thinking I'll write detailed review someday and later binge-write reviews in one go. Having a backlog of reviews helped me to an extent - yeah, my laziness finally paid me off. *evil grin*
(And, no brownie points for guessing that my review points are much lower than the other four categories ;))
@PiyushD Just curious, why do you want to see the profiles of the winners?
I'm taking the liberty to anwer this though it's not directed at me. Hope you wouldn't mind 😉
Before the official annoucement on Nov 4th, I shared a snippet from the mail saying I've won a Nexus 5X in few closed private groups (ones we Local Guides have on WhatsApp and Hangouts for all the off-topic discussions). Many asked me to share few samples of reviews that I've written - guess, they wanted to know how fellow users write reviews
The Help Article on Tips for writing great reviews does not include any examples. And, I believe it's better to learn from real life examples : i) few negative reviews tend to be filled with profanities ignoring the be nice policy and constructive criticism part (I flag them btw), ii) people come up with their own 1-5 point systems to grade different aspects (say, service, food, ambience, etc in case of a restaurant). The point here being, there is always something to learn from other's reviews
And it's up to the winners to decide if they want to make their Local Guides profile public on Local Guides Connect. Period (one can find my profile link towards the end of the post)
Approximately? How many reviews you done in the conte

I wrote close to 100 reviews (with and without pics) during the contest period. I prefer store front pics with no people in the frame and I had to go ahead without pics for places which were always crowded.
Remember, only the reviews were counted for the Share Your India contest.
You can read the reviews of the winners provided you find their Local Guides Profile. Google is my friend and all the profiles were just a search away for me 😉
