The Winning Entry Will receive 28 SCR
The object of this game is to look at the photo above from a freaky sporting event and then tell a story about the event in your own words as if you were at the scene when it happened. You can become an observer, a fan, you can also become one of the participants in the event, you can be the coach, an official, or you can even be a newscaster. Just tell what happened from your vantage point as if you were right there watching when it happened, or from the viewpoint of it happening to you. Make it weird, make it funny, or make it dramatic. In fact, just have fun and tell the story from what you were thinking when you saw the photo.
Title your blog "On Freaky Friday I _____________" fill in the blank with something to make your story unique.
Post the video or photo from this contest along with a link back to this blog and a short explanation so that the readers will know what you are writing about.
The story must be 400 words long or longer about the events and scenes in the following video or photo.
The story must be your own work, quotes may be used with credits given but the words in a quote do not count toward the word total. Make sure that you also give credits for any photos used in your story.
Write your story in your own blog and post a link below.
This contest will be judged not only on the quality and content of the story but also on how well the entrants are participating in the community. This includes blogging, upvoting and commenting on the blogs of others. Bonus points if you comment on the blogs of the other entries.
The contest is open to anyone, but due to bad actors and scammers on Scorum, I reserve the right to disqualify or ignore any entry from someone known to be a deceiver or who is even suspected of not being genuine. Don't worry, if you have written good blogs free from plagiarism and have not tried to scam anyone then you should have nothing to be concerned about. But if you think that you might be on my blacklist you can email me at scorum_pete@aol.com to confirm your eligibility.
The prize will be 50% of the total payout from the previous contest blog plus any donations.
As part of the reward for entering the contest, I will give a 100% upvote to any qualifying entry
Last weeks contest earned $34.41 so this week's prize will be 18 SCR plus 10 SCR that was donated by @kryptokeeper for a total prize value of 28 SCR. Please consider following @kryptokeeper and show him how much you appreciate his generous support.
Congratulations to our very first Freaky Friday contest winner @ablaze with his entry "On Freaky Friday I played the game of my life says a buoyant Mulrooney!"
@ablaze won a whopping 67 SCR for his outstanding and very funny take on the most unusual video of English sports humor that I believe I've ever seen.
Since some of you have bandwidth problems I am using a photo this week instead of a video, I hope that this makes it easier for more people to participate.
I like @ablaze but if there is not a growing interest in the contest we may need to just let it die. So let me know what you think, I want to try and help struggling bloggers but are these contests worth doing? If not then I will put my time and efforts into more constructive tasks. I'm hoping that it is just because it is new and it takes a while for these things to catch on, but if it is too hard or if there is no interest then we will just move on to newer and better things.
