Challenge 3--Points Reminder

[chefs_d_oeuvre]

We're about to slow down things for the holiday break (Hope everyone has a great one, btw), and I wanted to take the time to remind you of all the ways you can earn points.  Some of you may have more time over the next few weeks and may want to catch up on lost time, other may want to reevaluate their strategy, and other might not give a flip and can skip this point.

Take a look at the points right now and you'll see that the top ten, and in particular our top 5, is pretty thinly distributed.  There are plenty of ways people can move up the rankings, catch up, build a safety net, etc. before the end of the Challenge with a little extra effort.  We still have over a month to go, so if you aren't happy with where you stand here's how you can change that:

1. Entering Rounds--Obviously, this is the big one.  We have B3, and Round 9 and 10 to go.  You'll have two weeks to try and get B3 in, and don't forget Round 10 is worth double points.  Otherwise, you earn one point for entering, points for received votes, and 2-5 points if you place or get a special category.
2. Voting--you earn one point (or two for round 10) for voting.  Small, but it's a fairly simple process and some challenges have come down to only a few points.
3. Promotions--You can earn multiple points per week for promotions (depending on how much you and your friends do).  One point is given automatically for promoting this site, two points are earned for every vote you bring in, and three points is earned for every new member/participant you bring in (remind them to tell me they were referred by you so I can give you points).  See the Rules for further info.
4. Movie Bonus--That's still in effect, ya'll.  You can earn up to 14 points depending on how hard-core and crazy you are.  See Spam #9 for further info.
5. Mood Theme Bonus--That's open for the next two weeks or until all moods are completed, whichever comes first.  You can earn up to three points a day.  See HERE for full details.

I hope this helps some of you and we see some more friendly or familiar faces over the holiday break.  For those taking a mini-hiatus, have a wonderful and safe holiday break!  And don't forget to check the schedule to see what you are missing and when to come back!

For those who are sticking around, yay!  I hope you have fun and stop by and chat with me via my LJ or the Spam.  I hope to catch up over the next two weeks with all my communities, f-list, and my posts.

Wishing you all a Happy Holidays,
Ginger
