eAustralia Media Awards July 2013 ($5,000AUD in Prizes)
•
by Major Lee Hung
In an age of vote-buying and decline in activity, it's time we recognise those who write quality articles. Our media is frequently dead, though has been gaining a little momentum lately. Why not encourage further quality article writing, and discourage vote buying?
We should all try to encourage good quality journalism and article writing. This should especially be encouraged amongst newer players. It's time that we finally reward good article writing!
Could your name be on here? Write an article for your chance!
Media Awards July 2013
I've put together a little event. The rules are simple:
You have until eRepublik Day 2,078 (just over 48 hours from the time of publishing) to write an article. The article should be the best you can possibly write, something that will captivate the nation!
The article must meet the following criteria:
-Not offensive
-Not attacking anybody
-No political bias allowed
-Avoid vote-buying (Though we can't use this as a disqualifier due to obvious event fixing...)
-The article must have been written on either Day 2,075, 2,076 or 2,077.
The Prize
1st Place: 2,500CC
2nd Place: 1,000CC
3rd Place: 500CC
4th - 10th Place: 30Q7 tanks each
How the Winners are Chosen
-You write your article, in the hopes that it will be nominated!
-Nominations should be sent to me via message in-game
-You'll have all weekend to write your article and be nominated
-On Day 2,078, all nominations will be included in a poll. People will be able to vote their favourite articles on the poll.
-Winner announced on day 2,080 (If I remember!) or day 2,079 if voting is slow.
-Prizes given to winners depending on placing (see above)
Write your article this weekend to be included! Remember to write something that really captivates people for the best chance of winning.
I hope to see many good articles, the more interesting the read the better.

Provided on how well recieved this event is, I'm planning to make it a monthly thing. If you like the idea, I encourage you to participate! 🙂

Overall very simple, just write your article and the nominations/poll will take care of the rest! 🙂
Great article and idea. But, i aint trying to be negative....but history teaches us not to go or look back words.
People dont buy votes to be popular or something, they buy votes for a platform because a lot of players do not look at articles other then on main page.
And eAUS is a dull country dude, our leaders do not do shit to motivate us, they don't care about any of us until they need something from us. But don't blame them, that is how Australia is in real life, explains why drinking is a big part of their culture.
Dont get offended you true Aussies, you know its true, watch after this election coming up. Only thing i hate about Australia in rl is the high prices and government pinching our pockets any way they can.
Oh yea, and dont look back, i forgot to finish that lol...
In other words, people will not stop buying votes and people will not become more active, i doubt even many will write articles. People just have no joy in eAUS.......
We can always discourage vote-buying, and encourage people to write articles people would vote in the first place.
Buying votes just makes you look immature
I sat here for 5 minutes thinking of how that makes any sense, and nothing but blanks...... how does vote buying make you look immature?
Ask ur daddy
lol and the troll comes out
Icetek buys 🙂 I filled out and order from him. He dont care!
Would an article begging people to join my party and bribing them with an offer of 5 gold be eligible for your article prizes? It's something I have been kicking around.
I'm afraid not! 😛 Sorry Icetek...
No worries, however infinite got it wrong. I offered games and prizes to join my party, then I offered 5 gold to my members as a surprise so they know how you feel like infin....... getting free gold to not do shit 🙂
Voted \o/
Voted! I intend to make a quality article adhering to all of the above rules.
I nominate this article
