Herausforderungen

Dies sind die Herausforderungen im Mittelpunkt des Autorenwettbewerbs. Du kannst eine beliebige Anzahl von Herausforderungen wählen. Umso mehr Herausforderungen Du bestehst, umso mehr Punkte erhältst Du. Beachte bitte immer die Deadline der unterschiedlichen Herausfoderungen!

1 Lese Dir die Beschreibungen der unterschiedlichen Herausforderungen sorgfältig durch, bevor Du teilnimmst. Wende Dich gerne an uns bei möglichen Fragen über unser @authorscup Twitter oder Instagram, via E-Mail, oder nutzen der Community-Gruppen für diesen Wettbewerb. Denke daran, dass Du auf "Teilnehmen" und dann "Herausforderung als erledigt markieren" klickst, wenn Du alle Aufgaben abgeschlossen hast , damit deine Herausforderungen zählen. Nur Herausforderungen, die als abgeschlossen markiert sind, werden von unseren Mitarbeitern einem Überprüfungsprozess unterzogen. Das Ergebnis bestimmt, ob Du die Punkte erhältst oder nicht.
2 Herausforderungen, die nicht als abgeschlossen markiert wurden, werden nicht gewertet. Darüber hinaus werden Herausforderungen, die als erledigt markiert und aber tatsächlich nicht erledigt sind, abgelehnt. Warnung: Wenn Du keine Punkte erhältst, kannst Du dich nicht erneut bei der Herausforderung teilnehmen, und Du verlierst diese Punkte.
3 Es werden jeden Monat weitere Herausforderungen auftauchen, und es können einige von einem zum anderen Tag ohne Vorwarnung erscheinen (Flash-Herausforderungen). Wenn Du also diese temporären Herausforderungen meistern möchten, behalten Sie unsere offiziellen Social-Media-Kanäle und diese Seite im Auge.
