WDC's Longest Running Blog Competition - Hiatus |
Hello Bloggers! I hope you are all enjoying each other's virtual company while staying safe at home! This post is to announce the next Official 30DBC happening in May! If you want to be invited to the party, please indicate your intent to compete in the May Official round with a "bitem" link to your blog item (so I can easily copy the ID number ) Make note of the usual reminders: Posting Prompts: I will post the official prompts between 9pm and 11pm WDC time (note the slight change in the timing just to give myself a little more leeway) here in the forum the night before the day they are due. I will also email all official prompts to "Current Competitors" in the "30-Day Bloggers Group" (level 9). Look for the prompts pinned to the top of the forum with a title like this: "PROMPT May ##." Submitting your entries: To submit your entry to be judged, write a post in the forum with a link to your blog entry using the {entry:######} format. Entries that are not posted in the forum, will not be judged. Note that the timestamp of your entry is based on when you post here in the forum, not on when the blog entry is originally entered/edited. Judging: Sum1's In Schaumburg , Carol St.Ann , and I will be your judges. All entries will be graded based on the below categories. Please note that Commenting on your fellow competitors' blogs is not optional. To receive top marks in the commenting category, you need to post at least ONE thoughtful comment per day on any of your fellow competitors' blogs. You do not need to notify the judges when you comment - we will be watching closely. If you have questions on this, please ask. Judging categories: Following the Prompt Timeliness** Engaging/Entertaining/Original Emotional Personal Grammar Style/Presentation Commenting ** If you post your entry late, it will be judged as normal in all other categories besides "timeliness," where it will receive a reduced score. Therefore, it is still in your best interest to answer all prompts, even if you post late. I'm looking forward to another great month! If you want to participate, but don't think you can commit to the whole month, perhaps you would consider being a guest judge? Jim, Carol, and I are eager to welcome you backstage, and you'd earn yourself a Judging MB upon completing a week's worth of judging. Email Sum1's In Schaumburg or myself (Emily ) if you're interested and we'll get you trained up Please post your intent to compete in the May Official round with a "bitem" link to your blog item (so I can easily copy the ID number ) -Emily Blog On!
