Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Please find my comments below:
1. I have asked Ankur to update the blog post to make CTA more visible.
2. Suggestion accepted and we would defiantly create the guidelines for non-Adobe events and would make a mandate to incorporate them from next contests onward.
3.This is not an Adobe event where as it is an Adobe sponsored event where Adobe is sponsoring AEM bloggers (Ankur in this case) with the Immerse passes to distribute.
