The official rules for this year's event, there are several ways to achieve the medal requirements. You can choose which option is the best for your style of picture taking and writing. There are also new medals for this year's event and the House Points for each medal are the same: 25 points for Bronze, 50 points for Silver, and 75 points for Gold.

Option 1:

Bronze Level

1-5,000 words (total) OR 1-100 pictures (total) OR 1-4 Chapter "Updates"

Silver Level

5,001-10,000 words (total) OR 101-199 pictures (total) OR 5-7 Chapter "Updates"

Gold Level

10,000 words+ (total) OR 200+pictures (total) OR 7-10 Chapter "Updates"

Option 2:

20 slides/pictures
or
1000 words
or
10 slides/pictures + 500 words

You publish an update, and it reaches 40 slides/pictures, or 2000 words, or 20 slides/pictures + 1000 words first, it would count as two updates, and so on.
With the tier system we created, a long writer could feasibly write one 10,000 word update and have it count for 10 as one way of defining an update was a post with 1,000 words - does that make sense? So if someone wrote two updates in September, but both of them were 5,000 words long, they would qualify for the top tier medal. Similarly if someone wrote a post with 200 pictures their post would count for 10 updates and they could win the gold tier medal.

A total goal for the month is 10,000 words or 200 pictures.

Event runs from September 1st to 30th. Medals will be awarded October 1st. :drinks:

Don't worry about it, Jenn! Questions will be fielded, I'm sure. :)

Also, Ani-Mei there was a missing quotation mark - I added it in. The rules look great this year! :yes:
