Dreem Word of the Week - S1 R1 - Launch (previously POB-WOTW)

in ThoughtfulDailyPost2 years ago (edited)

Welcome to the launch of...

Dreem Word of the Week

(dreem-wotw)

History

WOTW as a contest was originally created by @calumam (Cal) and known as pob-wotw. When Cal took a break from the blockchain, @scholaris (Felix) picked up where Cal left off and continued to run the contest diligently for the community for many months, but he too has now had to step back due to personal commitments off-chain.

One of the main reasons why I loved pob-wotw and why my heart is so committed to it, is the choice of words for the prompts - they were always very carefully sought out and considered choices, firstly by Cal and later by Felix, oftentimes requiring me to google their meaning and application! They were almost always of philosophical, theological, or intellectual origin, and provided scope for depth of thought, insight, creativity, and introspection. This differentiated them from many of the other prompts that we find on Hive week in and week out. This aspect will not be changing and I hope that the new grading teem will be able to measure up to the same high standard set by Cal and Felix.

It was clear in my conversations with Felix that WOTW was no longer sustainable or scalable under its current format and that it needed both a revamp in approach and a new team to drive it forward.

I held discussions with @dreemsteem (Leah), Felix, and Cal about the way forward for WOTW and then took a proposal to the WOTW community, where it found support.

... and so...here we are 🙂 ... with the next iteration of the legendary WOTW, now lovingly hosted by Dreemport (a curation platform with rewards powered by Hive), and appropriately renamed: dreem-wotw.

For the first 3 months, the contest will be held once a month. If it attracts sufficient support, this may be extended to twice a month.

The word for this round is...

SANCTUARY

So, what do you need to know about the contest to enter, and what are the fundamental changes?

To answer this, it will be easier to write it as an FAQ:

1 ) What is the key change in submission process?

The Dreemport phase

As previously mentioned, the current format is simply not sustainable, especially if the contest were to experience any upward scaling in numbers (which we would love to see!) A small team is not capable of doing all the necessary checks as well as attending to any meaningful grading of all the posts.

As a result, it was felt that it would be best for the contest to fall under the auspices of the Dreemport project, for Dreemport to handle the backend administration of the contest, and to provide the grading team with a shortlist of entries to grade instead.

All dreem-wotw posts would therefore need to be shared in Dreemport on a specific day each month so that they can be short-listed by public voting the following day.

At the end of the 24-hour cycle, the system will provide an official top 5 reader's favourites.

The Grading Phase

The top 5 will then be graded by the dreem-wotw team in line with the current WOTW Merit grading system devised by @caluman and @scholaris. The top 3 graded posts (excluding staff) would become the official winning entries in dreem-wotw and would earn dreem-wotw prizes. DreemPort staff and grading teem are able to write to the prompt but are not able to submit their posts to Dreemport and will not be ranked along with the public. Staff will have a separate prize pool.

Where must I post?

Contestants will be allowed to enter dreem-wotw posts created on any platform and within any community - this promotes greater inclusivity and engagement opportunities BUT they will be required to share the URL for their dreem-wotw entry in Dreemport on a specific contest submission day set aside by Dreemport specifically for dreem-wotw, in order to be considered for any of the dreem-wotw placings and prizes. They will therefore need to register on Dreemport, which is a quick and easy process, and the following two articles give a clear idea of the benefits and ease of use of the platform.

How do I use Dreemport? - it's easy!

Building a better name with Dreemport

If anyone has any difficulty registering and trying out the platform, please tag me or @wrestlingdesires or @juliamulcahy here on this post and we will help you to get this little admin bit out of the way as painlessly as possible 😊

For the first round of season 1(S1R1), the submission date is:
Thursday 28th July 2022 (STRICTLY between 4 am UTC and midnight UTC)

All entries will be screened by Dreemport screeners for plagiarism, and copyright infringement (all images must be credited back to the original photographers, and URL links to those images on royalty-free sites MUST be provided).

At present, Dreemport staff and the grading teem will not be able to submit their entries to the Dreemport platform (a staff submission pool is in planning so we hope that in the near future this will become possible 😊). However, in the meantime, staff and the grading teem can indeed still take part (although only staff will be eligible for prizes within the staff pool)... see further FAQS for how to do this.

2 ) What form should my entry take?
You may respond to the dreem-wotw prompt through any of the following original and creative pathways: discursive essay, short story, or poetry. You may include original artwork in your submission as part of your interpretation of the prompt but the focus for grading submissions will be on the written content.

3 ) When should I publish my entry on my blogging platform and share in Dreemport?

This is a VERY VERY IMPORTANT change in the WOTW grading process.

You may publish your entry on your home blogging platform whenever you choose, however, it is suggested that you publish on the same day that entries are required to be shared in Dreemport, if you wish to align voting windows on your blogging platform with the timeframes over which Dreemport curators will be viewing your post and dreem-wotw grading teem will be grading. For this first contest round, the submission date for Dreemport is: Thursday 28th July 2022 (strictly between 4 am UTC and midnight UTC). Please note...this is not simply the deadline date...

IT IS THE ONLY DATE AND TIMEFRAME WITHIN WHICH SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR THE S1R1 CONTEST IN DREEMPORT.

4 ) Engagement metrics
In order to promote healthy community engagement, we are asking all participants in the contest also to share a link to their entry, in the comments below on this contest post. All participants (including staff) are then asked to read and comment on at least two other entries (in the original entry posts) and then to come back to this contest post and give a thumbs up 👍 to the related URL comments below. If a URL link has received 2 thumbs up already, you are requested to select a different post to read and comment on so that we try to get engagement for every single post entered in the contest. You may engage with more than 2 participants if you wish and you may then give more URL links a thumbs up to indicate how many engaging comments you have made! Engagement will be one of the metrics used for grading. This was something that scholaris and calumam considered to be very important when they ran the contest.

5 ) Staff entries
Until we have a staff curation and ranking pool in Dreemport, we will need to rely on a slightly more manual process. In this regard, please could all staff who enter ALSO add the following emoji under their URL link below: 🐯
This will flag to the grading teem that it is a staff entry. For now, staff entries will be shared out amongst the grading teem and each staff entry will be read and graded by at least 2 members of the grading teem (subject to volume of entries). If we exceed 10 staff entries, then, until an alternative Dreemport staff submission pool is created, a random draw will need to be done instead. The top 2 staff will receive dreem-wotw prizes from a separate staff prize pool.

6 ) Summary of entry requirements

  • Write a creative response (discursive essay, short story, or poem) to the prompt: sanctuary on any blogging platform and in any community.
  • Share that post in Dreemport on Thursday 28th July, 2022 between 4 am UTC and midnight UTC).
  • Share the URL link to your post in a comment to this contest post.
  • Support at least 2 other writers who have entered the contest and confirm your support by giving their URL link here a thumbs up.

Which tag should I use?

The new tag to be used for the contest will be dreem-wotw as the contest will be hosted by Dreemport, and the primary token associated with the contest going forward will be the dreem token. By using the tag, it will enable others to find your dreem-wotw entries more easily going forward.

Three contests in one!!!

1 ) Participation prizes:

There will be a random draw for all entrants once submissions close on Thursday 28th July. The first non-staff and staff entry drawn using random.org will receive a 150 points ecency boost to their post... 🙂.

All URL link comments on this contest post will also receive a mix of PIZZA, ALIVE, LUV, and LOLZ bot token calls.

2 ) dreem-wotw final graded placings:

Special thanks to @dreemsteem for Dreem token sponsorship.

Non-staff:

1st - 500 Dreem Tokens, 250 Ecency points, 50 POB
2nd - 250 Dreem tokens, 150 Ecency points, 50 POB
3rd - 125 Dreem Tokens, 100 Ecency points, 25 POB

Staff:
1st - 250 Dreem tokens, 150 Ecency points, 50 POB
2nd - 125 Dreem tokens, 100 Ecency points, 25 POB

3 ) One off mini- draw:
Every non-staff participant who registers on Dreemport before the 7-day payout on this contest post ends, and shares a screenshot of their Dreemport profile in a comment to this post, will be entered into a random draw, and one person will win 250 Ecency points. Note: If you registered on Dreemport at any time after reading my previous post Finding Sanctuary... ie: anytime from 20th June, 2022 onwards, you may also take part in this mini-draw by sharing a screenshot of your Dreemport profile in the comments to this post).

Grading teem:
There are currently 6 members on the dreem-wotw grading teem. These roles are currently voluntary roles, although adhoc disbursements may be made in the interim if funds allow. The current grading teem consists of:

@alekst7 @wrestlingdesires @iskafan @juliamulcahy @itsostylish @samsmith1971

If anyone else is interested in becoming part of the grading team, they can drop me a message in discord at: SA_Sam1971#1299 to be considered, as future needs arise.

hi all,

For anyone who wants to be in with a chance of winning the 250 ecency points for registering on Dreemport since 20 June 2022, this is a reminder that the draw for that will take place on Monday when the payout window for this post closes. To be placed into the draw, you need to share a screenshot of your Dreemport profile in the comments to this contest post. At the moment... we have no entries.

The idea behind this was to try to encourage everyone who wants to take part in the dreem-wotw contest for Sanctuary to ensure that they are registered on Dreemport ahead of the 28th July Dreemport submission date, and to encourage you all to try the platform out so that you know what is required. Although registration should be quick and easy, and having a dry run on the platform should be simple to follow, it may be a little challenging if you all leave it until Thursday 28th July to visit the Dreemport staging site for the first time
😉🤭

Please also remember that to enter the dreem-wotw, you will need to submit your entry to Dreemport on Thursday 28th July 2022 strictly between 4am UTC and midnight UTC.

To earn engagement points in the official dreem-wotw grading process (should you place in the top 5 in Dreemport), you will also need to have engaged with at least 2 of the other entries to the contest. This requires everyone to share a link to their post in the comments to this contest post. Don't forget to give a thumbs up emoji on any comment whose post you have visited and if a post already has two thumbs up on it, look for another post to support so that we try to share the engagement around.

Looking forward to seeing all of your entries being submitted to Dreemport on Thursday 28th July.

Posts will then be curated and ranked by the general public on Friday 29th July once the top 5 readers favourites are known, the grading teem will take over and grade the top entries in line with the merit grading model. The official dreem-wotw winners will be announced the following week in a winners' post.

thank you for giving this your blessing @scholaris - it means a lot to have that!!!

Just a final reminder for dreem-wotw that submissions are now open in Dreemport and will close at midnight UTC.

All submissions need to comply with the following please:
1 ) Submit your post to Dreemport on Thursday 28th July between 4am UTC and midnight UTC

  • All images used in your post must be royalty-free and source referenced using URL links so that Dreemport screeners can verify them quickly and easily as being royalty-free.
  • All posts must be PG13 :-)

2 ) Share a link to your post in the comments of this contest post

3 ) Use the tag #dreem-wotw on your post so others can find your post - and everyone to support at least two other posts in the contest to meet the minimum engagement criteria for the merit grading model.

4 ) All participants will be required to curate a random set of 5 articles in Dreemport before being able to share their contest post. This includes Dreemport staff / grading team. If you then also want to have a say in the Dreemport rankings (which will be used by the grading teem to determine which posts will get graded for final placements), you will need to log in to Dreemport again on Friday and curate a random set of 5 contest posts and rank them 😊

5 ) Dreemport staff and grading team will be able to submit their sanctuary post to Dreemport but will be excluded from the official Dreemport Top 5 rankings.

The top 5 will be graded by the grading team in line with the Merit Grading Model and official dreem-wotw prizes awarded based on final placements after this merit grading. There will also be a grading of the top staff entries and prizes available for the top staff entries too.

6 ) The grading team consisting of @samsmith1971 , @wrestlingdesires, @alekst7, @juliamulcahy, @iskafan, @itsostylish and @palomap3 will commence grading on Monday 1st August, and the winners' post and the next word for S1R2 will be published at the end of next week 😊

hi all, in order to ensure that we have a good distribution of votes for the first dreem-wotw contest it would be much appreciated if as many of you as possible could log in to Dreemport during the next 2.5 hours before the Port closes at midnight UTC, and curate your random five and rank them, even if you don't have a post to share yourself. We had a great turnout yesterday for the launch with Sanctuary. Let's support it through to the end and do our bit to curate those contest entries too so that the community really does get a say in which posts move to the top of the pile and make the Dreemport top 5 shortlist for final grading 🙂

Curated already and infact I read them all 😁

Thank you for the reminder my love! I already curated one post in the middle of the day and I almost forgot to finish 😆. That's why I don't like to start something I can't finish but well..., trying to be more flexible ahahah

I already did that today, it was great reading stories, poems, and other write ups about sanctuary.

I curated earlier on today. I am happy to know that the entries were massive.

I had tried late last night to curate, but it did not let me. after seeing your post I tried again and it let me :D

Thank you for the wonderful reminder. Congrats and a fun and thought-provoking contest!!

Oh yes, I almost forgot as I wasn't posting today. Thanks for the reminder

Same as Ed! Some great posts today.

Done.
Thanks for the reminder.🙂

Sure... I did some...I'll check out more ❤️

Wow wow wow
Finally the real thing is here. I have thought about the fading choices that comes with wotw and suddenly this happens.
Many thanks @samsmith1971 for this attempt.

We are all in this together, right? So happy that you are on this journey with us! I suspect your mind is already churning out ideas for your submission on the 28th, hehe...

!PIZZA

Sure. Working on my "Sanctuary" post. It would be published soonest.

Fabulous... just remember... it only goes into Dreemport on Thursday 28th July... and if you want your post to still be within it's 7 day payout period when it goes into Dreemport...maybe hold back on publishing on Hive until nearer the time.

Of course, I am a dreemer too. 🤗☺️😍💕❣️💜

And I am glad I was able to put my entry in for the dreem-wotw contest.

I can't wait to read everyone's entry and learn a thing or two.

Good luck to all the participants. Cheers.

Loading...

"the submission date is: Thursday 28th July 2022"

Does this mean "Thursday 28th July 2022" is the day that every story should be summited, not earlier or later?

I'm not really clear on the rules here, my eyes are tired but I'm somewhere in here was the word "SANCTUARY".I would like to find some shelter there.

YES! This is what it means. For Dreemport phase one of grading, ALL submissions will be shared on the same dedicated day this month.

I actually can't wait to see an entry from you, my friend.

!PIZZA

Might pop up to my park the sanctuary tomorrow 😁

See... and you thought you may not have any time available for sanctuary hahaha... no way out now...

28th is the submission date....just saying 😂

The 28th seemed so far away but I see it is only seven days!!!

Well... cheeky Ed... the 28th was further away when the contest post was announced 🤣

No more procrastinating... get down to your park and get writing hehe

Yeah the 28th, it is good to have some dealines, procrastination well I have not posted for 3 days I see, I have been writing, just not for hive, I think we need a break sometimes, or else it all gets a bit stale

Nice word selection for the wotw and good work with the announcement post. It's well detailed and since it's coming out so early, everyone that wants to be part of this have enough time to also see how DreemPort works and be prepared for the D-Day.

There might have been an easier way for staff to get their ranking. Both the wotw staff and DreemPort staff could have submitted their entry (directly to DreemPort for wore staff and by proxy for DreemPort staff) and we will still see how it ranks in the midst of everything. Hehe. But, I know something special is being prepared for a dedicated staff ranking system so, we will see how it works prior to the D-day.

GoodLuck on this one. I'm sure it will go well ✌️

Thank you, Kene... yes, although we know there isn't any direct staff bias because of how the platform works through random allocation of posts to public curators, it is best to keep staff posts separated from public curators' posts anyway... but I will eagerly await a dedicated staff ranking system too!

Are we gonna see an entry from King Kene?

Primarily I would like to appreciate the writing you have done for guiding wow Sam each word is so understandable. Hmmm sanctuary looks interesting word. Tick tock round about 10 days to make entry and submission. Let me spread this info in Hive Pakistan.

Fabulous, thank you Ayesha... Entries in any language are accepted but they must be accompanied by an English translation, and we will have to go by the translation in most cases.

I am so pleased for this feedback on the ease of understanding of the post and I hope to see an entry from you too.

I'll make a note here too.

haha, I understand being busy!!! And yes I will be dropping a reminder over the weekend... and probably the day before too! Just until people get used to how the process all works. I still haven't seen anyone confirming that they are registered with Dreemport and ready to roll... I guess maybe nobody wants a piece of that contest

!LOLZ

Great, I am very happy about this news.

Yay! And it has been lovely seeing you active in Dreemport! I need to come and visit your blog!!! I have been stupidly busy this past week or two off-chain... but now I can start to catch up!!!

Hi Sam, I'm taking note and I'll try to participate.
Good luck in this new stage for the contest that will surely be a success with Dreemport.
Have a lovely week 😊

hi Eli 💗 ... yes I am sure it will be a success in its new iteration. It always has been... and I think that is down to the efforts that Cal and Felix and Nonso always put into it... from their wonderful choice of words, through to their grading efforts, and continuous support of the community. And it has always had a close-knit community that cared more about exploring the depths and outer limits of the word at hand than any financial reward at the end.

I really do hope you manage to fit in an entry... it is such a wonderful contest...

Have a gorgeous week... hump day over... hehe

Sanct - U - ary Much! Oh, the grand opening lands on the very day that 23 years ago (on the 28th), I became a mother. It's a good birthing day! 💛

Thank you for jumping aboard the ship... may the journey be a long and beautiful one together.
