What Does ActiveRain Mean to You? April 2022 Challenge

This Is No April Fool! AR's April Challenge is Here!


It has officially been 11 years since we have had a challenge, asking members to share in both writing and in pictures, what ActiveRain means to you. This time, let’s go for a collage to demonstrate, adding 350 words to describe your collage.

 

ActiveRain is and always has been about our wonderful community of real estate professionals - from agents to inspectors, attorneys to stagers, broker/owners and other real estate related professionals across the spectrum.  We believe that it will be interesting to hear what ActiveRain truly means to you.

 

Craig's Collage Example

 

Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 and I are announcing a COLLAGE challenge for the month of April.  "A collage?" you ask.  Yep, a collage! According to Wikipedia, a collage is any art or "assemblage" made of  "different forms, thus creating a new whole."  

So, let's hear it - what does ActiveRain really mean to you?

Here are some links to a few collections of collages:   

 

Artsy Collage

 

Useful Resources: Here are a few sites that offer collage-making software


Need a refresher course on collages?
Our fabulous Kathy Streib spent a lot of time, putting together a wonderful tutorial on both Google Slides & Ribbet for us. I have used collages for marketing on social media in the very recent past (Ribbet and Canva) and the learning curve is almost flat! You will love her tutorials.

THANK YOU, KATHY for being so very helpful - you are a rockstar!


***The Collage Challenge***

  • Tell us what ActiveRain means to YOU in a collage and with 350 or more words in a post.
  • By the end of the month, share your collage as a graphic/digital image. *Use the featured image for ease of uploading.
  • Submit a link to your post in the comment section below BY APRIL 30, 2022 @MIDNIGHT PST.
  • Be sure to keep the content of your collage within the ActiveRain Community Guidelines.
  • You will be awarded 1,500 points for your participation.

Jeff Masich-Scottsdale AZ Associate Broker,MBA,GRI, I think you sent the wrong link for the challenge - that was a post about homeownership, not what AR means to you! 

Thanks!

Hi Debe Maxwell, CRS I received your comment.


No, I sent the correct link for the "Collage Course" and what does Active Rain mean to me in my April contest entry. It is entitled the "American Dream"  https://activerain.com/blogsview/5727926/the-american-dream which coincides with Weltanschauung: the guiding principle of my blogging platform host, Active Rain has as it's 3rd Guiding principle which is what Active Rain has always meant to me:


"We believe that home ownership is a positive force for social good. ActiveRain is committed to empowering real estate professionals so they can help people achieve the dream of home ownership."


In the post I explain why Home Ownership in the US is still the "American Dream". This is what Active Rain means to me and the impression that I project to  my readers.


The Collage was also presented and Active Rain was prominently displays.


I hope this helps. Let me know if you have another question.


Thanks again for the contest. Jeff
