Hola, amigos y amigas, bloggers, and members of BlogChamps

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This announcement marks the start of BlogChamps Season 10! Now you can finally submit that blog for Week 1 in Qualifiers that you had been waiting for, or use your 7 days wisely to write a new blog from scratch! If you are not familiar with the stages in BlogChamps, I recommend that you check this announcement, which goes over the format of the competition in detail.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

But wasn't BlogChamps Season 10 supposed to start on December 10th? It is still December 9th for me! Well, but it just turned midnight in Kiribati - the first country that meets the start of a new day - so you get a slightly more time to work on your blog!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

All registered users must submit their blogs by December 17th, 23:59 EST. You can click on the "Publish" button right now or take your time and work on it for more. Don't forget to check your blog for any grammar mistakes and typos! You can also check out various guides and resources to help you.

If you didn't register, you can still join the competition! Just write a message in the registration forum, saying that you register, and giving a probability score (?/10) that you will write your blog before the deadline.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

After you submit your blog, simply paste the link in the following forum:

Submission Forum - Season 10 Week 1

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Here are all users who registered this season. If you registered, but didn't find yourself on the list, contact @VOB96 or @ChocoCaramelPawn. But even if you forget, don't worry, I will be messaging everyone to make sure as many people submit as possible! Let's make this season the best one yet!

And don't forget: If you don't perform well in Week 1, you still have a second chance to qualify in Week 2, which will have the same format as Week 1. It is expected to be held between  January 3rd and 10th.

You can also enter the same blog into the monthly December competition of The Blogger Awards v2.0, where we award blogs in different categories, such as best writing, best humor, best thumbnail, etc.

FAQ

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1) I would also like to participate in the monthly contests of "The Blogger Awards v2.0" club. Can I submit the same blog to both competitions?

Yes, you can! Using the same blog is not only allowed but encouraged, so you can focus on writing only one great blog instead of splitting your time between two articles. Just make sure it is published before December 17th so that it is within the rules for both contests!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

2) I am a new blogger, and I want to get better. Are there any materials that can help me?

Yes, of course! BlogChamps has an entire forum full of tips, tricks, and resources to make you a better blogger!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

3) Can I use AI in my blog?

No, blogging is made for people, not for robots. You cannot generate any parts of your blog using artificial intelligence. The only exceptions are thumbnails and images in your blog, but if you are having trouble making them, we can help you in this forum! If we find out that you used AI in a competition, you will be disqualified.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

4) Can I request a review of my blog for the competition before the results?

You can ask your friend, your mum, your sister, or your grandma. But you can't submit your blog for a review in any BlogChamps forums or ask for reviews and opinions from judges if you have already submitted it for a competition.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

5) Can I forfeit in the middle of the competition?

Leaving the competition without any reason will disrespect judges who spent precious time reading and judging your blog, and all participants who didn't pass on to the next stage but wanted to be in your place.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

P.S. Well, that's all! If you have any more questions about the competition, feel free to contact @VOB96 or @ChocoCaramelPawn. Good luck and best wishes to everyone, and may season 10 begin!
