TOTW Guidelines:

Criteria for Review

• Must pertain to question
• Must be your own work (cannot be directly copied)
  
  * New Rule (beginning: June 1st, 2006): Any exercise not listed on our exercise listing (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercises.htm) must be accompanied by a full and complete description and pictures.
  
  * An anti-plagiarism website will be used to check for plagiarism

Grading Criteria

• How well the questions are answered (if it is clear and in-depth)
• How informative/ persuasive the article is
• Grammar - spelling, punctuation, run on sentences, etc.
• Originality of the material (other peoples ideas should be cited)
  
  (MLA/ Scientific notation is not necessary, however a method to understand where the information came from should be used)
  
  Ex. Put numbers in the parenthesis following the information taken from sources and at the end write the numbers and sources from where they came from.
  
  Internet source: website address
  Book: Title, author
  Article: Title, author, where it is from (such as the name of the magazine)
  Articles that are well-researched will have more credibility

How To Use Your Credit:

To use your credit, simply place an order through our online shopping cart, and choose the CHECK OR MONEY ORDER BY MAIL payment option. Then e-mail the order number to topic@bodybuilding.com. Be sure to put in the subject line - Order For Winning 2nd (or whatever place) In TOTW 32 (or whatever topic you won).

I would love to write articles for the site. Just give me a deadline and something to write about and I will give my opinion anytime. Do i get a cool banner for my name and a pic of me above my article??? lol

[italionstallion]

i dont want this come off as sounding ungrateful, but would the 3 place person be able to get a t shirt instead of a hat?

[Ifrit]

Does anyone know if there is an advantage to attaching a word document VS doing what some guys do and use different colors in their post?

The colour and design of your post does not make a difference. It is only the content of your article and how well you answer the question according. You can either post it up or attach it as a word doc. it doesn't make a difference..

Hey, this sounds great. I've been wanting to write articles for a while. So how do you get to write them though? Like do you get an invitation of sorts?
