About the Challenge
Have you ever wanted to write for GovGab? Well now here’s your chance! As part of our third anniversary celebration, we want to feature a week of posts written by you, our readers.
If you’ve always had something you wanted to share with us, enter our contest for a chance to have your post published on GovGab. If you’re selected as a winner, you’ll have your post published and receive a prize pack from the GovGab team.
Judging Criteria
- Round One
After the contest closes, posts will be judged to see if they present accurate information and comply with the requirements of the contest. Those that do not comply will be disqualified.
- Round Two
All others will advance to round two where the posts will be rated by a panel of judges from GSA based on message, accuracy, appropriateness of theme, creativity, and entertainment value.
How to Enter
- Read the rules.
- Write a 250-400 word post explaining how you’ve used government information in your daily life. Make sure you link to at least one government website. If you'd like, you can include a photo relevant to your blog topic (otherwise, we'll find one that's appropriate)
