April Challenge Open!
Hearty thanks and three cheers to Monty Author IconMail Icon for leading us for so long! Thank you so much for your service here, and even more, for your service to our country.

Note (copied and pasted from the forum):

"Starting at 13:00 (1pm) on March 31, 2025, this contest is changing to a challenge. It is our hope that this will encourage greater participation and awareness.

Each month, a merit badge winner will be selected by virtual dice.

Also, you can earn credits towards awardicons and merit badges to be awarded in November, during the big Cyber Weekend event. Because we're essentially starting in April this year, the number of entries is lower than it will be for December 2025 - November 2026.

For year one (March 31 - November 20, 2025) you can earn one of the following (highest earned will be awarded, one award level per person per year):

FIRST PRIZE / Gold status: a 50K AWARDICON AND HONORING OUR VETS MERIT BADGE by entering a poem, story, essay or some other tribute to veterans in each of at least 7 months. [For year two, November 22, 2025 - December 1, 2026, it will be 10 months.]

SECOND PRIZE / Bronze status: - 25K AWARDICON AND HONORING OUR VETS MERIT BADGE by entering a poem, story, essay or some other tribute to veterans in each of at least 6 months. [For year two, November 22, 2025 - December 1, 2026, it will be 8 months.]

THIRD:PRIZE / Silver status: -10K AWARDICON AND HONORING OUR VETS MERIT BADGE by entering a poem, story, essay or some other tribute to veterans in each of at least 4 months. [For year two, November 22, 2025 - December 1, 2026, it will be 6 months.]

HONORABLE MENTION: HONORING OUR VETS MERIT BADGE by entering a poem, story, essay or some other tribute to veterans in each of at least 3 months. [For year two, November 22, 2025 - December 1, 2026, it will be 4 months.] ."


***I am thinking about hosting a review challenge to go along with this writing challenge. If at least five people express interest, I will seriously consider adding that.
