Challenge Judges' Tip #1 - How well did this entry fit the topic?
Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2022 5:18 pm
I'm going to be sharing some tips from our judges. Some of these may already be in some of the writing tips in other parts of the forum, but this is from our current panel of wonderful judges.
Up first: How well did this entry fit the topic?
From our judge:
"Look at the definition of the topic word - even if you think you know it well. There may be something interesting you haven't thought of that would work for the topic."
From me:
This is the EASIEST of the 8 areas that the entries are judged on to get a high (if not perfect) score. I totally agree with the judge: Make sure you understand the topic! It even blends a little with the second part "How creative, unique, and fresh was this entry? How memorable?" You might look at the word from a whole other angle.
