The event will be held from September 1 to October 30 this year, announced Priyoshop.com Chief Executive Officer Ashikul Alam Khan at a press conference at the Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS) board room on Sunday.
Priyoshop Senior Business Development Executive Romel D' Rozario, Chief Administrator Dipty Mandal, Devs Team Co-founder Nasiruddin Shameem among others spoke at the press conference. "Numbers of e-commerce portals are increasing in Bangladesh. But this platform has not become so popular yet. Some customers cannot be interested in online shopping because of the fear of online payment, financial safety or lack of trust", the CEO said.
Blogs must be within 450 words in both Bengali and English. A blogger can write more than one blog on different themes. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. The themes must be fresh and unique. A link of Priyoshop.com needs to be mentioned in blog writing for clarification. Bloggers can give example of the organisation and use screenshots of the website in their writing. Contestants must submit the link of their blogs in the contest page for further judgment. Top 40 bloggers will be selected based on presenting the organisation in content, way of introduction etc. Then their writing will be shared on Facebook.
