“Maryland Prepares” Social Media Challenge Rules
Launch Date: September 1, 2012
The idea for this challenge came from Washington State’s Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency (@cresa) “30 Days, 30 Ways Challenge” and their creativity in making preparedness interactive.
Who Can Play?
We encourage everyone to participate in this challenge. Winners will be chosen from Maryland.
How Do I Play?
Every day in September a different challenge will be posted for you to view on Youtube.com. You can participate on Facebook, Twitter or via email.
- Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/MarylandPrepares/videos
- Facebook Page: Maryland Emergency Management Agency https://www.facebook.com/MDMEMA
- Twitter: @mdmema http://twitter.com/MDMEMA
- Gmail: MDPrepares@gmail.com
At the end of the month, the points and names of participants will be tallied into a spreadsheet. Make sure you use the same name for each challenge so your points can be tallied under the same name at the end of the month. If you are participating on twitter, please use the hashtag #MDPrepares with your answer.
The daily challenge will be posted every morning at 9:00 am Eastern Standard Time. Each challenge is worth one point unless stated otherwise. Some challenges will be worth more points than others so even if you miss a few, you can make up some points by participating in other daily challenges. Not all questions have a “correct” answer and will vary person to person; however, some questions have specific answers we will be looking for as responses. All questions will close for participation on September 30th at midnight.
Disclaimer: All inappropriate comments/posts will not be counted for the challenge and will be deleted immediately from the site.
What Will I Win?
The prize for the person(s) with the most points will be a tour of our State Emergency Operations Center.
