Post there or send me an email to get your GPs. If you don't have enough GPs, you can either ask for the GPs in advance or send the MBs in smaller batches as you get reimbursed.

| I thought I did this yesterday, but later realized I'd never hit Submit, so we're starting today. GPs for MBs! Send 7-8 merit badges and earn 15k gift points per MB sent! Spend 70k-80k and get 105k-120k GPs back! The people posted below have finished 9 years of
They've done every single month since February 2017! Help them celebrate!!!  Post below (or email me) how many MBs you sent to get your GPs. MBs MUST COUNT FOR CRs*! It's fine to have to send some MBs later or to not send them at all if they won't count and you don't want to make a list for later. It's NOT fine to send a MB that doesn't count for CRs. You must include mention of "The Contest Challenge" in your MBs. You can write it out or copy the code -- {item:tcc} If you need the GPs 1st, feel free to ask. I can easily see if you sent the MBs, so I'm happy to spot you the GPs. Note: I may be in and out today, so there could be a delay in getting your GPs, but I will send them out! The following people have completed 9 whole years of "The Contest Challenge" ! That means they've done a minimum of 108 entries and everyone has done well over that! dogpack saving 4premium+ has posted approximately 179 entries in the last 9 years! Wow! I bet she hits 200 by next year! 🌻 pwheeler ~ happy new year  dogpack saving 4premium+ Soldier_Mike  💙 Carly: Happy New Year  Lovina  Angelica Weatherby- Snowangel  I Resolve to Wear My Sox  If you send a MB to each of them, you'll get 105k GPs. If you include me, I'll send you 120k GPs. Nope, I've not done 9 years of this challenge. I only run it. Are you kidding me?!? It's REALLY HARD! Hahaha! Just ask the other 194 people who haven't finished all 9 years. lol Or even the 119 people who haven't finished even 1 yr. (I did do that, but didn't finish the next. lol) Finishing 9 years is amazing, especially considering I believe each started late and had to catch up! For your copy/paste convenience: pwheeler, vpbanjo, mikewrites, carly1967, lovina, dragonfish, rinsoxy schnujo * CR is Community Recognition, the number by our name. If you see a red warning when sending a MB, it won't count for a Community Recognition point and thus won't qualify for GPs at this time. Feel free to let me know who you need to send a MB to later and when. Or just send to those you can today and don't make a list for later. |
I might as well send you the total, Friendly Neighborhood Derg  . Are you planning to send 7 or 8 MBs? (8 includes me.) |
| Schnujo - I have to do 7 because I didn't know about this until after I sent you the MB the other day so I can't give you a CR MB now. I want to do 8 but I'm not sure I'l remember to do it a week from now... |
| No sweat, Friendly Neighborhood Derg . I always pay 15k to folks who send me a MB, so that's no different than this. Your GPs have been sent. Thank you for participating! |
If you need GPs, of course, there's "Note: I thought I did this yesterday, but later realiz..." as a way to earn some. (Let me know if you need the GPs to send the initial MBs. I'll be happy to help.) But you can also earn them by winning some contests. Thank you, Charles Nasby for introducing me to
There's also
And most folks know about
Each of these contests gives away 10k to winners. The 1st 2 also give away prizes for other places, not just 1st. What other contests do you know of that give away GPs as a prize? Post a link below! |

Offers rocking prizes! Check them out!
Sporting romance prompts for the less adventurous Be sure to fan your favorite contests and contest owners!

Double click until you see the golden heart  to fan a person or activity. |
| Glad that's your attitude, N.A Miller . I was actually quite late posting the changes in the forum. I totally forgot to remind my contest owners so I needed to be sure they were all good to go...or at least some were. Hahaha! |

| Just wanted to say thank you for the gift points. I enjoy sending people Merit Badges, and you make it fun and easy!! Also, I know you're busy with school and stuff, but I thought you might be interested in a fun, easy activity that won't take up much time and has a longish completion window. Annette is running an activity called "26 Paychecks " , the premise is that every two weeks she will post some simple fun tasks, which will earn you prizes upon completion. You have two weeks to complete the tasks, and Annette has built in vacation time that allows for missed weeks. I think we'd have fun playing, and I'd be happy to pester remind you to participate. Think about it and sign up!! |
In case you're like me and didn't see the announcement several days ago about the new ML code/editing changes here, I thought I'd post a link to the note. "Note: Introducing the New Writing.Com Editor (Beta) ..." I'm the only one who didn't know? Well, no surprise, but I'm still excited! For those who knew I knew something you didn't know, but I wouldn't tell what it was, this was it. lol |
Egads, you've used one of the script fonts and it turned into Apple's proprietary Snell Roundhand  I already have my default set to 13pt Verdana, and it works even in IMs  Technically, I'm not supposed to be using the Beta Editor without a desktop, but...   |
I was using Bradley Hand, Amethyst Snow Angel  . I assume the reason it changed is either because you aren't on a desktop or because I know SM has always struggled with Comic showing up correctly. Maybe it's just a thing with the handwriting-type fonts. That sucks. They are my favorite. You can post in the Bug Forum to see if he can fix it. Good luck! I don't have any Apple products, so I have no idea what their Snell Roundhand looks like, but sorry to upset you with it. |
Schnujo - I'm not upset exactly, just kinda teasing... Here's what it looks like  Invalid Photo #1076307 |

Most popular this month -- AKA most competition |
🌝 HuntersMoon  , you were my VERY first participant! Thank you for that, for the encouragement you gave me in the beginning, and for spreading the word. You've finished 2 years, but have some entries from a couple more years if you're interested in finishing those up and getting more goodies from me. There's no pressure, of course. But I do hate seeing partially finished years, all those entries just waiting for friends to connect with so they can fully realize their potential as a completed year. lol Remember, you can jump over a new year so it doesn't have to be an exact calendar year, just 12 consecutive months. |
