*The power of this competition is in recognition, by entering a blog you are sure to have some readers checking it out. I will upvote every qualifying blog as soon as I see the link posted below so that it gets bumped up on the trending pages. My hope is that readers will soon begin to recognize the blog title and make it a practice to support the entries.

  • To enter this contest you must write and publish your own blog with the Title "Happy Moanday ______________!" Fill in the blank with the name of a person, group, place, or team. This must be concerning something that has happened during the previous week prior to the contest blogs posting. So this current contest is for sports-related items that have happened between last Monday 9-10-18 and Midnight Sunday 9-16-18.
  • Next include a photo, meme, short video clip, a screenshot or something similar that best represents the subject that you used to fill in the title blank. Make sure that you have usage rights and provide any necessary links.
  • Now you need to write a blog of at least 450 words to describe what happened and who was involved, as well as the reason that you are nominating them for moaners of the week.
  • Provide a link back to this blog somewhere in your Moanful Monday Blog.
  • Last you must say something at the end, one final quote or comment that is meant to cheer up or encourage the subject of your blog. This could be something simple like "C'est la vie," or a quote from a famous author or poet, a proverb or religious text, or best of all your very own words of wisdom or consolation. You are welcome to have your own signature encouraging comment and use it on all of your Moanday blogs, or give a different comment or quote every week that best fits the situation.
  • Once your Moanful Monday blog has been posted then leave a link to it in the comment section below so that I will know that you have entered the contest and I can then visit and upvote your blog.
  • Your blog can be posted at any time before midnight Sunday night, but the content must be from the previous weeks sporting events.
  • Everyone is encouraged to read and support as many of the Moanful Monday blogs as possible during the week. I will try to get these blog posts out early every Monday so that you can begin posting your blogs. I encourage you to write about an event that happens during the week and save it as a draft so that you will be ready to post it on Monday as soon as the new contest blog has been added.

This contest is all about Sports Losers, Fails, Muffs, Falls, Goofs, or anything else that would make a player, coach, fans or spectators moan and groan. Please, no post that would cause us to mourn, like fatalities or serious injuries. This is meant to be in fun, there are always funny fails that happen and there are losers that need to be cheered up. This is simply a way to cheer up all of those losers of the week who are trying to pull themselves back together for the next competition.

*The prize will be 10 SCR for the winning blog, which will be the one that caused me to moan and groan for the subject of the blog the most. I will give all qualifying entries a 20% upvote, which will vary in amount according to what my VP is at the time of that vote.

Also, be sure to check out my Friday 50-50-25 Contest. Enter to win your 50% share of the 50 SCR prize or simply stop in and vote for one of the other contestants.

                  Good luck and happy writing, Score On!

*Edit note: I added the paragraph under the blog photo and I changed the prize award paragraph to read "...I will give a 20% upvote to all..." instead of "...I will try to give a 20% upvote..."
