Sign Ups Open for January Official Month!

by Emily

WDC's Longest Running Blog Competition - Hiatus

Hello Bloggers!

This post is to announce the official January 30DBC! If you're like me, you're ready to wave goodbye to 2020 and give a warm welcome to a fresh new year!

If you want to sign up, please indicate your intent to compete in the January 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 January ##."

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:
Jim

, Carol St. Ann 20yrs (06-26)

, Cheddah

, 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? We are eager to welcome you backstage, and you'd earn yourself a Judging MB upon completing a week's worth of judging. Email Jim

or myself (Emily

) if you're interested and we'll get you trained up
