Wiki write off

Welcome to AAPG's Wiki Write Off!

The Write Off competition is open to all AAPG Student Chapters, and the winning Student Chapter will receive a check for $500.

The next Wiki Write Off will begin March 1, 2015.

Instructions

Each chapter who wishes to participate must:

1. Write and post 5 original wiki articles to the AAPG wiki page on geoscience topics of their choice
2. Send an e-mail with the titles of their five articles, the name and address of the chapter, and the names of the students who helped author the articles to [email protected]
3. Complete the previous two items no later than 30 June
4. Articles should be original works--if other sources are utilized they should be quoted and cited according to proper literary rules. Articles containing plagiarized material will be automatically disqualified.

The articles will be judged by the AAPG Wiki Advisory Board and the AAPG Senior Associate Editor Board. The judges will select one article from all articles submitted to be the winning article based on:

1. Quality of science
2. Completeness
3. Quality of writing
