The first "Maiduo Cup" prize-winning essay competition sponsored by Webmaster.com has come to an end. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all the webmasters who actively participated in the activities and enthusiastically paid attention. Secondly, I would like to express my congratulations to all the winners.
Commentator: Zhu Zerong (judge of Webmaster.com’s first “Maiduo Cup” prize-winning essay competition and founder of Zhuoxue Classroom)
This competition is divided into two aspects: webmaster voting and judges’ opinions, 5:55. As one of the judges, I look at the winning works from three aspects:
1. Authenticity. How far is it from the real webmaster's story? Can the article make the webmaster feel the same way? I think it is very important to resolutely restore the webmaster's true experience, real stories, and real experiences in this selection. For example, there is an article about his experience in working on the Education Network. Obviously, ordinary webmasters It is impossible to achieve this kind of business scale by hoarding on location, angle, funds and level. Therefore, although the writing is good, it is still far away from the grassroots webmasters, so it cannot be ranked well in the judging process. The development of grassroots webmasters has twists and turns, bitterness, ups and downs, and many sorrows. However, most of the participating authors obviously did not express those anxieties, sorrows, past pains, multiple abandonments, and changes in direction. It is delicious only when it is full of flavor, and sometimes sweetness and bitterness are also delicious. I hope that in future essay contests, the writers will pay more attention to this point.
It should be noted that this call for essays is soliciting stories and experiences of webmasters and online stores, and many authors are writing experience summaries and method guides, which are somewhat off-topic.
2. Ideology. Does it provide new inspiration to the webmaster, such as new business ideas, which are close to the webmaster’s actual development route? When judging works, we pay great attention to the business ideas of these authors. What kind of websites they are running, whether their business direction can be used as a reference, whether they are pragmatic or unrealistic, and whether they are inspiring to other webmasters, especially Among the outstanding works and the unsuccessful works, everyone's writing skills are similar, and they are all well written. It seems that any article can be awarded an excellence award. In the judging process, the substantive business direction that is close to the grassroots webmaster, or some very special Pragmatic creativity and business ideas are the focus of our consideration.
"Currenting from the brink, making money online almost put me on the road of no return" is a topic that weighs heavily on us. The story he tells is a spur to all webmasters and a powerful medicine to all those who are eager for quick success and hesitant choice. Indeed, in the team of webmasters, there are quite a few webmasters who have gone to the point of no return because of some "problem websites". Their writing angles make our eyes shine, and the questions they raise make all webmasters, especially those who are building a website for the first time, confused. The webmasters thought deeply.
3. Writing style. It does not emphasize whether the writing style itself is vivid. It is true that most webmasters are not high-level, and many authors have low cultural levels, making it more difficult to write. But whether they can use writing to describe their true selves and touching stories is actually a matter of fact. This is the difficulty of writing in this essay competition. There is a saying that "Heroes don't ask where they come from." The same is true for the essay solicitation. Since this essay solicitation is about the stories and experiences of webmasters, it is not about language organization skills, nor writing skills. Therefore, we are uncharacteristically testing the writing level of webmasters. Generally speaking, even authors who struggle to write are more likely to win the award. We sincerely hope to give them a chance to win. Friends who have not won the award should not be upset because your writing level may be better than theirs. We are also proud of it. You cheer up.
Another very important point in the examination of writing style is whether they are serious when writing. It is true that some authors have good writing skills, but they were a little overwhelmed when participating in this competition. They did not write seriously and just dealt with it in a few words. Articles are like people, "articles are about things through the ages, and writing is like being a human being." Regardless of the length of the article, emergency or writing, we must treat it with a sincere, serious and candid attitude.
We hope that all winners and participants will continue to work hard, learn from each other, and move forward. We look forward to the next essay competition to make friends through writing again, write boldly, and have fun writing.
