Guys and girls, we really need to thank you for the awesome response to our Afrigator iPod competition! You helped us increase our user base by over 50% in that period - one helluva achievement!

Now it’s come time to announce the winners. Remember, one Video iPod goes to the existing Afrigator user who referred the most new users to the site. The winner is none other than…

JAXON RICE of www.soup.co.za!!! Thanks Jaxon for your support!

Secondly, yet another iPod goes to a randomly selected new user to the site. In this case, the lucky winner is…

JOHN of South Coast News!

Well done to both of you, please get in touch with me (mike at afrigator dot com) to collect your prizes.

Happy Africa Day to all our Afrigator bloggers. On such a poignant day it gives me great pleasure to announce that the FREE, Limited Edition Afrigator T-Shirts are currently at the printers and will be handed out at the 27dinner on Sunday evening.

Almost one month ago we launched our popular iPod Competition and along with that we offered free, limited edition T-Shirts to those who wrote about the competition.

If you did write about the competition than you are eligible to collect your limited edition shirt on Sunday so let us know in the comments below this post if you’re coming or not. We still have about 10 T-Shirts available so if you want to claim one you better link to this post today otherwise you will lose out!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the competition but remember there is still 6 days left to win an iPod so continue to support the good cause on Africa Day!

We need your help to grow Afrigator! In return for your generous participation, we’re going to offer you the chance to win an Apple Video iPod!

All you need to do is go to our Competitions page and send out some emails (using the form we’ve provided) to those people you know who have African-related blogs, podcasts and news sites. When they sign on for the first time they will need to enter your email address in the ‘referrer’ field so we know you were responsible for the sign on…

You can also blog the competition, as long as you still ask people to enter your name in the referrer field when they sign up. Not only will we be giving an iPod away to one of you, but also to one of the new users you sign up! The competition is valid until 31 May, and winners will be announced on 1 June.

Actually, come to think of it, we’d love you to start blogging about it, so we’re going to offer the FIRST 50 BLOGGERS who trackback / pingback to this post in their blogs a limited edition Afrigator T-shirt.

What are you waiting for!? Get blogging!
