Contest canceled due to a month of inactivity and lack of response
As we continue development of our website and continue to grow, we get asked almost daily. What is Bitcoin? and, How does it work? Everyone from the offices below us in our building, the mail man, the building manager, the painters that came in, even the girl at the coffee shop across the street. For the time being as we are working on our infrastructure and website, we have to refer them to bitcoin.org or other spinoffs that have explanations and the result is always the same. The next time we see them, they just have a blank stare on their face and reply with.... " I dont get it".
Now with that being said, take into consideration that most information available with a quick google search is written by Nerds, Techies, and Geeks like myself. When read by other Nerds, Techies and geeks, it makes perfect sense. If not, most of us spend at least 5 hours a day behind our computers and we set out on a google mission until we find the answer we are looking for. Lets face it, grandma and grandpa, sometimes even mom and dad, even after watching the cheesy video or reading an article are still left scratching their heads.
It seems the members of this forum need a little motivation to write as our previous attempts at getting input have failed. So we have decided to host a contest and offer a $200 prize to the winner who gets their article published.
Contest rules:Your article must comprehensively cover what Bitcoin is and how it works in laymen terms without being to heavy on technical explanations. Think birds and bees talk with your kids, not full on human anatomy and biology.
The article must be a minimum of 800 words.
The article must be an original work and will be checked heavily for copyright infringement and duplicate web content.
The author of the winning article must sign and submit a copy of our publication agreement before they will be paid.
All articles must be submitted in private message on this forum or to
admin@thebitcoinsociety.org , Posting your article as a reply in this thread will be an automatic disqualification as it instantly makes the article useless for SEO as it will be duplicate content.
The author acknowledges that upon payment the article becomes the sole property of The Bitcoin Society and they release all legal rights
This contest will end when a suitable article meeting the criteria has been submitted and we will announce the winner in this thread.
