Looks like things have heated up a little! Thanks to all you Xplorers who've submitted your Display Pics! Those who are a little lost, you can check out our contestant's entries here!

They've actually got another step to complete - posting up a note/photo/video etc. along the same theme - and you can help them, by "Liking" it on FB! Check out the Contest Details for more info and keep your eyes peeled on FB!

REMEMBER XPLORERS. The competition ends on 4th Nov! So get working on it!

CONTEST BEGINS... NOW!

2009-10-28T03:34:00.001-07:00

Dear X-plorers!

Thanks for submitting your photos :)
Now get started on your "Live it" post! And get your friends to "Like" it!

You can check out your competition in the "Contest Entries" Link on the left side of this blog (under Xplorer's Guide)

2009-10-25T10:10:00.000-07:00

Remember Xplorers! Only a few days left to enter into our Facebook competition! Check out the guide on the left for more details!

EDIT: apologies, realised the date was wrong! 7-12th DECEMBER, not November!

NOTE with regard to "LIKE"

2009-10-20T08:10:00.000-07:00

Dear X-plorers,

For simplicity's sake, we would ask that you ensure your friends "Like" the actual note/post that you do, rather than the link on your wall, cause it's easier to count that way!
We will only count the "Likes" for one particular note/post/link. So let us know which one!

Haha - for those that are confused. We will only count the "Likes" for ONE post!

Well, X-plorers are never understood, right? Get working!

HELP LIST

2009-10-18T05:44:00.000-07:00

Hi X-plorers!

Just as promised, we won't leave you in the lurch - here are some people who have kindly volunteered themselves to help you fulfill your X-plorer dream! This list will grow slowly ;)

Please take the initiative to find them - it shouldn't be too difficult with Facebook; or just say hi in church! We're nice people - most of us... However, please remember to make it easy for the people helping you; don't make us go all the way to Jurong or something! Best would be in church itself :) But just check with your "helpmate"!

Ah yes, remember to edit the camp logo into your Display Picture! If you need help with that, approach the photo-editing people!

RULES AND REGULATIONS

2009-10-16T21:33:00.002-07:00

THE SERIOUS STUFF
1. Contest opens 19th Oct and closes on 4th Nov, however, contestants must upload their Photo and signal entry by posting “I’m an Xplorer” on the XYQ Facebook page by 28th Oct. Results will be released on 6th Nov.

2. Contest is open to all youth aged 12 - 30 from Calvary Assembly of God – however, to enter, you must be a fan of the “Home of the XYQers” Facebook Page (thereafter referred to as the “XYQ FB”). The Main Camp Committee and XYQ Youth Committee may participate, but will be eligible only for the consolation prizes.

3. Youth competing will still have to pay a deposit for their Youth Camp fees. The discount will come into effect on the 6th Nov, when youth pay for their camp fee in full.

4. Their Display Picture must be uploaded by Oct 28th, and must remain for the duration of the contest; else they will not qualify for the prizes. The Display picture must include the Camp Logo.

5. Contestants may change their Display Picture through the contest, but only if it continues the theme (i.e. they are still in explorer gear), and still has the Camp Logo. Such effort will be taken into consideration by our judges.

6. Contestants may wish to collaborate, e.g. take a group photo or video. However, in the event that the group is chosen as a winner, only one member will receive the prize. (Of course, you can share it!) We will take this into consideration on the part of effort.

7. Contestants may upload multiple entries for “Live it!” These will be factored into effort. However, only the latest entry will be judged for creativity and popularity.

8. These Rules and Regulations may be changed at the discretion of the committee. Any such changes will be made known on the XYQ Facebook page and the Camp Blog immediately.

9. The winners will have their photos taken and uploaded to Facebook!

JUDGING CRITERIA

2009-10-16T08:00:00.000-07:00

We won't release the full details of course - where's the fun in that? We will, however, give you some hints!

1. Creativity & Relevance to the theme
Try to stand out from the rest! We highly recommend seeking out your own type of Xplorer personality - you don't have to be an Indiana Jones - be a fashion Xplorer, or as Jay has done, Internet Xplorer!

2.Effort
Of course, it doesn't matter if you've cracked your brains but can't seem to think of anything unique - that's not the only criteria. We will base a lot on effort! This includes the amount of effort spent in doing up costumes, the "live it" portion, and some others (those with a keen eye will spot some hints under Rules and Regulations!)

3."Popularity"
This is mostly dependent on the number of "Likes" your post gets. So get as many of your friends to "Like" your post! We will only count those who like your actual post, so if you "share" it on your wall, remember to get your friends to "Like" the actual post and not the wall post!
