WDC's Longest Running Blog Competition - Hiatus |
Hello Bloggers! I know times right now are distressing and painful. I have to start out this post by acknowledging that we are all processing in our own ways, and whatever emotions you are feeling are valid. If you would like to join us for the Official July 30DBC, sign ups are now open, but please do not feel pressured to join. All prompts in July will be pulled from the Challenge War Chest (ie: written by past 30DBC competitors). If you want to sign up, please indicate your intent to compete in the July Official round by posting 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 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 July ##." 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 Sacramento , 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 Sacramento or myself (Emily ) if you're interested and we'll get you trained up Please post your intent to compete in the July Official round with a "bitem" link to your blog item (so I can easily copy the ID number ) -Emily Blog On!
