First off, I wish to thank all the users who took part in my little competition by submitting their article(s). It started as an experiment and it turned out beyond expectation. Though I asked for at least 10 articles in the announcement post, I didn't expect to get up to five. But in the end, we got the perfect number of articles, 10. Of course, provision was made for a lot more article, one can never tell.
The first phase has been concluded. All the articles have been published and their engagement performance for the first three days after publication has been noted. A report will be made to that regard. The engagement metrics of importance are the numbers of view, likes and comments. I would have already made a comprehensive report on the articles performance but the last article that was published has not reached 3 days of publication. Once that is, I will publish the report to show the performance and points earned.
So now we move to the next phase.
Vote your favourite article
Below are the ten articles submitted by users. You can read them if you haven't and help me select your best out of the 10 articles.
How to vote?
Initially, I planned on using google form for the voting, but on a second taught, I decided to go with comment vote. I think with the Google form format, a user can vote multiple times. But here, a user can only vote ones, unless he or she creates several accounts which are not worth it. Multiple votes from the same user won't be counted.
To vote, all you have to do is mention the title of the article you are voting for, leaving a comment on the article, or quoting a sentence or line from the article to show you read it.
You can also leave a reason for voting that article. Also, you can leave constructive criticism of any of the articles (optional).
Deadline: voting is for 48 hours from the time of publishing this article. Immediately the article reaches 2 days of publication, the voting will end and any vote after then will be invalid.
Things to note
Each vote will be worth 1 point.
You can vote for one article only.
Multiple votes will be invalid
Please don't vote based on author name, vote based on the content of the article.
That's all for now. I look forward to your support. Just take out a few minutes to browse through the articles and mention in the comment section the one you liked the most with a little comment on the article or quoting a line or sentence from the article.
Don't forget to like the post a d mention as many users as possible to participate in the voting process.
Let your vote count!
I'm ready to vote!
First off, there are a few that I really like. If only I could choose three, it would have been much easier to mention, but there could only be one lucky winner, right?
Anyway, there are two that outshines the rest. They have different writing styles but both have captured my heart, but then again, there could only be one.
And for me, my top favorite and deserves to win is.........
🎉🎉The fear of missing out: escape the anxiety🎉🎉
This is something many of us can relate to. The fear of missing out. The fear of being left out.
This is one of the many struggles not only for teens these days but also for adults like me. Whether you admit it or not, we all feel this sometimes. We feel less because others have more. We end up comparing, especially when you see your batchmates in HS or college, who used to be the dumbest (sorry for the word), now the most successful one in the group. And you start questioning yourself, where did I go wrong? 😁
See? I told you this is something I can relate to. 😅😅 But in her last paragraph, it gives you a motivation to use your fear, your envy, any negative feelings into motivation, a driving force, then it will all turn better in the future.
👉When you turn your fear into motivation. A driving force. The reason to push you to study and work hard. Earn money to have a better life. Having the determination will not shake off your goals and dreams. When you have less of an experience today, save it for tomorrow.👈
You can make them your inspiration to do better in life, not because you don't want to feel FOMO, but because you know you can do better.
Thanks for a well-written entry, @sheensheen13 👏👏👏 Win or lose, you're already a winner to me!
