** I HAVE RECEIVED MORE THAN 80 REALLY GOOD ENTRIES, AND THE SELECTION DECISION IS MUCH HARDER THAN I EXPECTED. AFTER CAREFULLY READING EACH ENTRY, I WILL ANNOUNCE THE WINNER NEXT WEEK ON TUESDAY AUGUST 25th. THANKS ALL**
Background: Some of us (e.g. me) often don’t celebrate enough the lives of everyday people who do good positive things, and make the world a little better place to be.
Your mission: Write a short article about a BLACK person you consider a real good example. A “black example.” Someone you know, or someone you admire.
- The person does not need to be a rocket scientist, or an inventor, though you are certainly welcome to write about them if you know some.
- This article should NOT be fictitious. It should NOT be about a fictitious character. It should be a real person.
- Write it in an article format of your choice - don’t make it Q&A. You can add content you find most relevant. The below is a guide.
- You should write the person’s real name.
- Is he a man or is she a woman?
- Describe his or her virtues, good attributes, or good mannerisms, or good behaviors which you admire.
- Is this person alive or did they pass on? Do NOT include contact details in your submission, we will request them in future IF needed.
- The person can be alive or deceased, its not a problem.
- It doesn’t matter if you observed this person last week, last year, or even ten years ago - what matters is their lasting impression on you.
Every day people submissions are fully ok.
You can even write about yourself if you want to (if you’re black).
- You should include a photo of this person
- Write a little background of this person
- Which country did you experience them in?
- What makes the person noteworthy?
- What did the person do, or what do they do which captures your attention and respect?
- What lessons have you learned from this person?
-How does he or she make you feel about life?
-What impact does this person make?
-What kinds of obstacles did this person face, and how did he or she overcome them?
-This contest is 50% your clear writing ability and 50% the CONTENT and story of the REAL person.
The article should be between 500 and 3,500 words in length (don’t worry too much about this - it’s guidance only).
- For this particular assignment and with the most sincere of humility in definitions, I am looking for content on black people defined as follows: a black person of AFRICAN ORIGIN, or black mixed race person of AFRICAN ORIGIN, or colored, or black African, or AFRICAN AMERICAN, or a black person of AFRICAN ORIGIN in the UK, black African Caribbean, black person of African descent from the West Indies, Haiti, etc.
In this contest, I will choose a winning article which will get the full price. Depending on the quality of submissions, I may also choose 3 to 10 non-winning articles for which I will provide a runner up award, so there is plenty opportunity to work hard and get a reward!
PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FULL NAME as you would like to be known, with your submission.
The winning content and runner up content will be published on my website, gaining greater visibility and making impact.
You can submit more than one entry if you choose to (in fact, I encourage you to).
Bot responses and non-articles will be rejected immediately.
Your submission should be exclusive here and not a copy and paste of something you did for elsewhere. Must be 100% original and must be work you did in writing for this submission.
I will keep your contact details in case I like your work and want you to write more articles.
EACH SELECTED ARTICLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE ENTERED INTO OUR 2020 AWARDS Consideration, drawing due in December 2020.
Thank you for reading this project post. I will be grateful if you help me with good and REAL non-fictitious content of a “black example.” Let’s talk about something good.
100% original content only which has not previously been published elsewhere.
Good luck.
