Hi Robert.  I'm still new but have already gotten burned by someone who promised points, but then later reneged by saying he didn't have authority to grant points.  I know you're a great guy - but would you mind mentioning how it works here in the rain?  I see you are an Ambassador.  Do Ambassadors have the ability to give points?  I'll bet I'm not the only one who doesn't know.

Thanks!  I'd like to enter too!

 I would like to thank everyone for their interest in playing in the contest, the Activerain points come directly through the Activerain Network and not from me and (NO)  Ambassador's can not give out points at Activerain!

 As for the 21 photograph prints, they will be signed and mailed to the winners from me!

 Feel free to ask any questions because I am sure there will be some more. This is going to be a fun contest and I am very excited about reading members posts and looking back on the memories that have made the Activerain Network what it is today ........

Well, when you've been around ActiveRain as long as I and posted as many times as I, it's difficult to decide what to enter.  However, I found an early post, December 10, 2006 with a message that is still important today. 

Good luck with the contest.

Hi Bob, we are always looking to build our points, but any type of contest just puts a little more fun and motivation into the project.

In this case we think we would rather come in 4th and beyond and get one of your photographs (this is really the 1st prize)

Thanks for thinking of this idea,

Bob - Sounds fun!  I think I already know what I'm gonna enter.  I reported your spammer comment also.

FOR THOSE WHO WONDER - An Active Rain contest with points must be approved before hand by an AR staff member.  I've got a contest ready to go that we're gonna launch with approval from Bob Stewart. 

But we'll wait till this one is done...one at time!

Okay I am confused a little. Here are my questions:

  1. Are you looking for us to submit something we have already written? Or are you looking for us to write something new ABOUT a memory we have on AR?
  2. Is this to be something sentimental or something that is a success story of some kind?
