When Will You Get Your Contest Points? Point count

Contests are fun and we learn from one another. Each month there are one or more contests or challenges to pick from and some have a ton of points associated with them. You can find the contest group through a link on the bottom of every page.

My suggestion is to enter the contests if you have time and if the subject matter interests you. If it doesn't, pass. You will not be penalized as contests and challenges are not mandatory. They do provide very good reading though.

If you have entered any of the ActiveRain contests you need to be patient as to when you will receive your points. Some are posted very quickly while others take time. You will get awarded your extra points. Staff members post the points as time allows. If too much time passes, send staff an email or ask some of the other members if they got their points. Mistakes happen and sometimes people are missed. Staff will research it and see if yours were posted. 

The contest moderator/judges keep an accounting on who has earned the contest and who earned points and turns these in at the end of the month. Be patient as many of the hosts are also very busy real estate agents or have other jobs so this is not their primary job. Kudos to Debe Maxwell, CRS for heading up contests and taking the responsibility to see that are contests running and interesting. 

If you have a contest idea, please share it and if you are willing to host, let Debe Maxwell, CRS know that you will host. She will find a month that works for you.

The safest answer might be..."it depends"...lots of calculating on the part of the person running the contest...so much to do...and sometimes little time to do it.

Thank you for re-blogging this as I missed the tag from Debbie Reynolds. As Sally K. & David L. Hanson mentioned, judging is a tough job and our volunteer judges are typically also selling real estate! It's a time-consuming job and every contest I've seen so far, has been judged very quickly. As soon as the spreadsheet is submitted to AR, the points have been given within 48 hours of the winning post announcement.

Now, the ones that AR hosts - those are a different thing altogether and Debbie nor I have had anything to do with those points but, phoning an ambassador is THE right thing to do - we'll get after the staff!!
