Are you writing articles or want to write articles about environmental issues?
Well here's a competition that could prove to be the catalyst for accelerating your article production.
MyItThings is an online magazine created by it's community - a collaborative space, in face a blog platform, where everyone is part of the community and contributes to the content. The magazine is published daily and gives an opportunity to it's members to be featured on its pages.
MyITThinkgs is currently hosting a competition to encourage their online community to write and submit articles about the environment - you can submit articles on green fashion, organic beauty products, eco-friendly gadgets and sustainable home design.
For every article submitted, MyITThings will plant 10 trees through Trees for the Future, an organisation that helps communities around the world plant trees through seed distribution, agroforestry training, and country programmes.
In addition, MyITThings is also offering a prize of US$1000 for the article that receives the highest votes from the community.
Please note that to enter the competition you must be only open to legal residents of the United States and Canada, 16 years of age and older. Full details of the entry requirements is here.
So if you have been thinking about getting all those ideas onto paper or online about environmental issues, perhaps even to repurpose into a business book, why not use the MyITThings competition as the prompt to get you writing.
Not only will it help you fire up your writing muscle, you'll be able to collaborate in an active online community, create new alliances and contacts and have your work showcased to the world expressing your personal brand online and what you stand for in relation to the environment.
You don't have to have a business blog to get started - in fact the MyITThings competition provides you with the opportunity to start blogging in a blog community so you can then decide if blogging is a relevant social media marktings strategy for you.
