Subject: Heal the World - 2021 Limited badgelet
Posted by: WesleyCrusher
Date: Jan 20 21
With 2020 now being history, we are looking forward to a hopefully brighter 2021. With the pandemic still raging, it didn't start out on the most auspicious note, but we are sure it will get better and everyone can do their part to make that come true, one small contribution at a time.
Along this vein, we have decided to build on the Gateway and have a limited edition themed authoring challenge every year. 2021's motto will be Heal the World - and you can take that any way you want.
Basically, what we want is some wide-ranging positivity - things that have made the world a better place or improved life for a large group.
Here are a few suggestions to get your creative juices flowing:
- You could take the "heal" part literally and focus on progress in medicine or wildlife conservation. You could also increase the scale and focus on a successful recovery effort after a disaster or war.
- Pop culture has ample takes on the topic in all media types. From uplifting songs to utopian movies and novels, there should be something for everyone.
- Individuals and initiatives who have strived or are still striving to improve equality, eliminate poverty, raise quality of life and preserve our planet are prime candidates for some extra coverage.
- History often reads like a list of doom, gloom and warfare, why not go against the trend and focus on a peace treaty or other positive resolution of a conflict?
- Most religions contain messages of salvation reaching beyond the individual believer. Enlighten the world by bringing them to our attention.
- Last but not least, you could also look at how everyone can contribute to a better world in daily life. Wouldn't this be a great opportunity to maybe get a quiz credit in the For Children category?
This is a very open-ended challenge and you can make a lot of topics fit. Remember, however, that your quiz should project the message - so the more unconventional your take, the more you'll have to do in your presentation to ensure you're getting that positive vibe right.
As a special community challenge by yours truly - can we (as a group) manage to get at least one quiz for each of the 20 categories into the mix? A few might be slightly tougher (Geography, Sports and Celebrities for example might not be immediate candidates), but I don't see them as impossible.
As a note for those who've taken part in the Gateway, there will be one change this year: We won't give the keys just to those who join the club. We want to, after all, give something to the world at large, so you can expect all approved entries to prominently feature in a quiz list or challenge once the year is over.
This challenge will remain open until the last second of 2021, FunTrivia time - having your quiz submitted by then is good enough. Badge awarding is manual and you need to post in this thread to claim credit. Spread the word!
*Last checked and awarded up to post 195 - 63 winners so far*

I'm even more of a straggler - mine's just been submitted to the queue. Will I get a special prize for being last? Perhaps I should start next year's challenge a little earlier! Reply #181. Dec 31 21, 9:49 PM |

Get it in quick; you've got two hours before the clock strikes 12 for FunTrivia. Reply #183. Dec 31 21, 9:58 PM |

You know, the last time I submitted a video games quiz, you managed to put it online within 30 minutes of submission... Reply #184. Dec 31 21, 10:03 PM |

When the quiz goes online doesn't matter for this; it just needs to be submitted in 2021. :) I should be awake for a bit longer if we're looking to have it online as well (in VG, I mean). Reply #185. Dec 31 21, 10:05 PM |

Oh I know, I'm not necessarily expecting it to go up right now -- there's a good chance something'll have to be fixed! Almost there... Reply #186. Dec 31 21, 11:42 PM |

I fell asleep after midnight my time, but before midnight FT time. Fortunately that means your quiz is the first online for 2022. Submitted just in time. ;) Reply #188. Jan 01 22, 8:33 AM |

So the bets for "last 5 hours" and "last 30 minutes" paid out... doesn't look like one came in during the last one minute (although 6 min wasn't far off) Reply #189. Jan 01 22, 10:42 AM |

I could've waited a bit longer, but I didn't think that was an accurate accounting of my quiz! Reply #190. Jan 01 22, 11:29 AM |

So Lottie1001 is now the last one we're waiting for to get edited? Or is anything else still pending? Reply #191. Jan 03 22, 9:29 AM |

Sorry! It's scheduled to be my 101st quiz, but the 100th is still waiting for a People editor. Reply #192. Jan 03 22, 10:40 AM |

No problem, I am just making sure that I won't miss anyone especially as I have to track those badgelets until I can award them. Reply #193. Jan 03 22, 12:09 PM |

I'll post a link here when the quiz is online. Or I can PM you, if that would be better. Reply #194. Jan 03 22, 12:20 PM |
