The Trireme Award

This month's Trireme Award - for "the worst terms since I was last chained to the oars" - goes to this: "Unfortunately we can't offer payment in actual money but we will help you out with guest lists and the like where possible and you will be rewarded with our gratitude," promises Itchy Guides, adding "You will also get a byline and link to your blog/twitter/facebook page/other."

Given the "where possible" caveat, we wonder what's on offer that you can't achieve through posting your own reviews on the net.
