Announcing Cricket Awards

Hello friends,

Not only is this the announcement of awards, it is also my way of communicating to you all that I am your new cricket community leader at Bleacher Report.

Some of you may think I am boasting and advertising myself a bit to much, but I am basically trying to say hi to a large audience. And of course, it goes without saying that I am at your disposal 24/7.

So at any point if you need help (which I think should be a rarity given the amount of talent we have here) I am there.

Now let's move on to how the system works

The Awards

1) The best writer of the month

2) The most prolific writer of the month

3) The article of the month

4) The most read piece of the month

5) Most commented piece

6) The comment maker of the month

7) The most interactive person of the month

8) Best debut into cricket section

Criterion for selection

The best writer of the month.

So what would be looked at will be; the clarity of thought, content, quality of English, and variety you provide when you write your articles. Pick of the day votes will also be considered but will not be the main selection criterion. Comments by other people on your pieces will also be taken into consideration

Another factor will be your ability to answer the questions regarding your articles in the comment threads. It is very important for a writer to be able defend his position. So replying to comments also has a part to play.

Also, a minimum of three articles have to be written per month by you or else you will not be considered for this award. This is for a simple reason, a good writer also has to be regular. I say that because his regularity would also help the cricket section improve.

All these awards are also there to help the cricket section improve along with you getting recognised for your work.

The most prolific writer of the month

The most prolific writer, is the writer who writes the most number of pieces in a month. But wait, that does not mean you get the award if you write five articles a day. Your pieces also have to have some decent quality material in them. Material makes a huge difference here.

We don't want articles being posted by the dozen without a solid content. This might affect the quality of the cricket domain. So keep this in mind when you write.

The article of the month

This award just requires one good submission by you. If your article passes all the criterion I have mentioned for becoming the best writer, plus it shows these qualities in a greater measure than any other article, then you win the award.

Innovation and originality will also be one of the main criteria when articles are looked at in this category

The most read piece of the month

I think this is the most self explanatory award. Winning this award might be very easy, just write on one of the popular topics.
