Award Rules

I have written the below rules for entry/registration for the Forum Awards. I would encourage all members to go through the rules and advise of any changes/additions/deletions to the rules. I will also write separate rules/procedures to follow for each of the award categories and post it separately.

Rules for Entry into the Forum Awards:
1. The blog must be live at the time of entry.
2. The Awards are open to anyone that writes a blog – whether they are members of the Alumni Forum or not.
3. Each blogger may enter into two categories. Entries can be made during the registration process after which the blogs entered will be open for a poll on the B101 Alumni Forum. During the registration process any member of the forum can suggest a blogger for an award category. Bloggers cannot nominate themselves.
4. The B101 Alumni Admins will nominate the Top 5 suggested blogs for each category for voting in the polls. Only the Winner of the Award will be announced, the poll results will not be public.
5. Each Award will have its own set of procedures to follow. Should the winner choose to accept the award, he/she is expected to follow through the procedure like answering a set of questions or nominating other bloggers for the next award cycle.
6. A blogger who has once been chosen a winner for a particular category of award, shall not be eligible to be nominated for that particular category again for a period of one month. There are no restrictions for again nominating the bloggers who were previously nominated but did not win in the same category.
7. There are 4 Award categories. Registration (nomination) will be open for a week after which it will be open for poll on the forum. Each week one category of awards will be conducted.
8. The B101 Alumni Forum Admins are not eligible to be nominated for any category of awards.
9. The Alumni Admins reserve the right to disqualify entries that contain offensive material.
10. All blog entries submitted must be legal and with the permission of the blog owner (especially if you are nominating a blogger who is not a B101 Alumni Member)

Best,

Once a captive, now I’m free!

lotus-215460_960_720

Once a captive, now I’m free. 

Snow, doubts, smile, heart, horse, fun! 

Hold on; for one more day. 

No time to waste in formalities 

Sun and wind, burn and free! 

Be grateful, be thankful, be contented. 

I woke up to live life! 

Try to understand and love everyone. 

Words dancing at the dozen: halved 

Every night she dreams of travelling 

Lost love, too late for discovery. 

I wait for Wade to wave 

Hope they enjoy the perfect life 

He sulked alone until they conceded. 

These feelings I keep to myself 

Togetherness leads to actual mutual bonding 

I wish I could stop worrying 

Will it be longer or shorter? 

They knew there was no option 

Let us slay all negative notions

Loud as a fair dare darling!

No silence for my busy brain

And then, she was set free! 

Notes:

Don’t Linger, Ginger or Delve, Poetry Corner Twelve!

Dear Friends,

 

It’s about time you stopped thinking about bygone days. Don’t dwell on past, present or future; don’t dwell at all. Just send the 6 words that come to your mind at first. Since this is an anonymous event nobody is going to judge you; you also shouldn’t!

6 Words, no theme. As soon as possible!

to my email: thinkerv0@gmail.com

Friends Missing From Action!

Hello Friends 🙂

As Meg also said a few days ago–there are many friends, beautiful people we met during Blogging 101 course and who kept interacting here afterwards too, who are missing now. 🙂

I hope all of them are doing well and busy with happy things 🙂

This post is to remember those beautiful people so that they know they are being missed. You can tag other people who you think are being missed 🙂

Mask: @theanonymoustalker Already did a post on his blog saying he is busy with something. He is a witty blogger and a nice friend. He has helped many of us with feedback and also did a feature post here. We miss you Mask 🙂

Francesca: @francescabergamasco who writes about second-life is being missed. I have not heard from her since a long time. She is a very genteel lady and her posts make you feel like visiting another world. We miss you Francesca 🙂

TBIPS @thebrunetteinthepinkscarf: I occasionally see some posts from her but rarely and she has not responded to any tags even here, so I doubt if she would respond to this one. Consider this a challenge dear and since you are always ready to take a challenge just say hello to us 🙂 I hope you are doing fine and you know you are being missed 🙂

Ananya: @ananyabha: Not heard a word from this girl. She must be very busy with work or something. I hope everything is fine with you Ananya. Now don’t get angry ok? 🙂

Precious: @thepreciouslifeofprecious: How have you been? Busy with studies? I hope you are doing great. 🙂

Becky @beckybwinch: You don’t belong to the league of other friends. I mean you are quite active. I saw your post today in my mailbox and willing to visit. Just that you have not been here since a long time. No need to respond. I hope you are doing great. Love and light ❤

Adrienne: @getyourlenson: I see your Facebook updates but miss you here. Hope you are doing good. Not blogging either I guess. 🙂

Ramida: @ramida78: You went to study and you employed a hack to break a lock and since then I have not heard from you. If you see this message, know that you are being missed 🙂 I hope you are doing great 🙂

Ivan @ivanproust: You must be busy with studies. I don’t see blog updates either. I hope you are doing great. If you see this, know that you are missed 🙂

Althea: @infobloomer: Not heard a word from you since long. I hope you are doing great. If you see this, know that you are being missed 🙂

Jose: @joseelavallee: I know you are busy with art work and learning many things. I just wanted to tell you that you are missed here. Love and light ❤

Catherine: @wynstep: Mamma! You are an admin here! I hope you are doing good. Missing you for a long time now 🙂

Words: @wordscoffeeandlacedresses: There are no blog updates and you don’t visit here either. Must be superbusy. I hope you are doing great. You are being missed 🙂

Ellie: @welshshortbread: I hope you are doing great in whatever you are busy with. If you see this, know that you are being missed. 🙂

@wanderlusteternal : Still waiting for your article on Srilanka. I hope I didn’t miss it. Didn’t hear anything from you since long. I hope you are doing good. You are being missed here. 🙂

Sinead: @continuingwithme: I hope you are doing good. We miss you here. I keep seeing your blog posts so I know you are active. It’s alright if you don’t have time to visit here. Stay blessed 🙂

Cathy: @cathylynnbrooks: I hope you are doing good Cathy. We miss you here 🙂 Love and light ❤

Kathy: @kathymays: We miss you here. I hope life is treating you very well 🙂 Love and light ❤ Anand 🙂

Love and light ❤

Poetry Corner Invites!

Hello Friends 🙂
#weekly #poetrycorner
Now this does sound like an advertisement and advertisement it is.

Why am I doing this everyday?

Because I feel it has the potential to become the best poem in the blogosphere. We can work to make it the best event in our neighborhood.

For those who are not familiar with it. :
It’s a group poem with anonymous contributions.

To get a taste: Please look at this week’s poem. We publish it here in Alumni. I am sharing with you the one I published in my blog with picture. You can also publish this group poem if you wish.

A Broken Bridge!

Why so?

Because so many minds working together, without any particular theme, create so many sparks that a bright burning flame of creativity lightens up our forum.

 

I already have 15 entries. Rich gets richer. So I cordially invite you to give your entry. All you have to do is:

Please send your 6 words to thinkerv0@gmail.com 

Please keep the subject line “poetry corner.” Even if you don’t it’s perfectly alright. 🙂

 

We are going to publish the poem on Tuesday so it’s a lot of fun and excitement as it gets bigger day by day. Please participate. 🙂
