we are glad to announce a special competition only for Mike Ouds from us www.sphinxshop.com , the prizes will be as follows :
1st place: oud softcase.
2nd place: 12 oud pegs.
3rd place: 6 oud picks.

these items will be provided totatly free for the winners ( no shipping costs or hidding fees at all ).

so what's the competition about ?
all you have to do is to reply to this topic with your best oud photo you could ever have , even this is not your photo, or whatever the oud was (Arabic, turkish, ...etc) the most important is to show the beauty of this instrument, and the best three photos will be judged by mikeouds members and by us and the prizes will be distributed once this competition is over.

the competition will start from today and end up by the end of August (31 - 8 - 2007) , you may submit more than one photo, we will select the best 10 photos within the first three weeks, then we will make a poll on these photos and we will judge the winners according to the poll results and to our judges opinions.

Wish you all the best in this competition, :xtreme:
Sincerely

Thanks

Hi Essam! Nice of you and Sphinxshop to offer this competition. The problem is that there are so many beautiful ouds it is difficult to select one! However, I'll start this thing off by submitting an oud that was made by Mourice Farouk Shehata, ( hope I didn't beat you to it Mike!), which is simply stunning in every respect.

MatthewW - 7-26-2007 at 09:06 AM

And here is the back of the Mourice Farouk Shehata oud.

Therefore, I refer you to this thread:
http://www.mikeouds.com/messageboard/viewthread.php?tid=4495&pa...

This was another of your promotional schemes that offered free items. It seems that some of the participants received the promised free risha. But other participants did not. Not even an explanation on these forums.

May I ask if participants in this, your latest sales promotional scheme, can expect a better result?

I would just like to point out that the first paragraph of text on the oud page of your site http://www.sphinxshop.com/shop/egyptianoud.htm is copied from the front page of my own website here: http://www.oud.eclipse.co.uk/

Please would you remove this from your site immediately.

Many thanks
