Journalist Program for August

We are accepting submissions of blogs from today to Wednesday, the 29th of July. This gives you about 2 weeks to enter your blog. The July Journalists will be announced a few short days later.

I will keep this short and snappy:

To quality for Journalism, you will need to follow the guidelines listed below:

Your blog must be updated a minimum of 2 times every 2 weeks (1 weekly post).
Your posts must be written by yourself, not taken directly from the Official Chotopia Blog or anyone else's Chotopia blog(s).
You have permission to use Chotopia Blog's pictures regarding events, recaps, and contests, but we encourage you to get creative and use your own work. This will make your blog even more distinctive, unique and interesting.
The blog MUST relate to Chotopia.

At this point you may be wondering, what are the benefits of Journalism? Let me lay it out for you:

An updated Journalist Badge on your playercard
Become an Elite Journalist by being a Journalist for a minimum of 3 consecutive months. The period of consecutive journalism will be 3-5 months, depending on the standard of your blog.
There will only be 1 Elite Journalist.
An exclusive Journalist-only Playercard
A Purple Journalist name tag
A Journalist feather hand-item
One week of free citizenship at the beginning of each month
The ability to PC Moderators even if they are blocked
Your blog will be listed on the Official Chotopia Blog
You will be invited to write one Official Blog Post
The ability to have your own contests on your blog with their own prizes!
