Bike Club x Study Club Collaboration Project 🏍 [The Year That Was and the Year to Come: Speed and Learning] is here! 🍎

🏍 As always, the amazing top image was created by Nacchan! Her favorite motto is 'relying on others'! 💦 Thank you so much 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

🏍 The special Bike x Study collaboration project is back!

Time flies, and this year is almost over.
How was 2021 for everyone?
And what kind of year do you want 2022 to be?

There were many things, but for me, the collaboration project with the Bike Club in the summer, the 'World Heritage Contest' was the most memorable.
I got carried away and even got my 'World Heritage Certification Level 2' 💦
I want to make next year a fulfilling one too, by holding collaboration contests and taking certification exams... ✨

So, that's it!!

In response to your enthusiastic encore (← huh? lol 💦), we are holding a Bike Club 🏍 x Study Club 🍎 collaboration contest for the first time in half a year!
We call it,

[The Year That Was and the Year to Come: Speed and Learning]

Ta-da! Drumroll please! 🎵
Anyone can participate, even if you aren't a note university student, and this time we've set a theme that's easy for everyone to join in on!
And yet, the prize money is just as super generous as last time ✨
We are waiting for your participation 😉💕
Below are the contest application requirements!

🏍 Contest Overview 🍎

✅ Submission Period

Thursday, December 9, 2021 - Saturday, January 15, 2022, 23:59
✨ This is the first contest in note university history to span across the new year!

✅ Submission Theme

[The Year That Was and the Year to Come: Speed and Learning] I'm sure many of you thought... what is that? But in short, it is

'Looking back at 2021 & Goals for 2022'

🙇‍♀️

✅ Details of the Submission Theme (*Please read carefully!)

🏍You are free to decide whether to place more weight on 'Looking back at 2021' or 'Goals for 2022'. It can be half and half, or you can focus more on one.
🍏If it gets too long for one article, you can split your entry into 'Looking back at 2021' and 'Goals for 2022'.
...Actually, you can submit as many entries as you like.
🏍If possible, I'd like you to include both elements of 'Looking back at 2021' and 'Goals for 2022', even if one is just a little bit, but if you really have to, works completely specialized in either 'Looking back at 2021' or 'Goals for 2022' are also OK.
🍎Just because it's a Bike Club and Study Club contest doesn't mean you have to force yourself to talk about bikes or studying; as long as it's about 'Looking back at 2021 & Goals for 2022', the content is free.
...However, your chances of winning increase if the article is about bikes or studying (more on this later).
🏍Of course, you don't have to talk only about 2021 and 2022.
Please participate in whatever style you want to write, such as touching on 2021 while writing a 'personal history' that looks back on your whole life, or touching on how you position 2022 while talking about your dreams for 50 years from now.

🍎 Aya's Monologue: About Study

In particular, this is Aya's monologue (?) for those who are thinking of writing about their reflections & goals for their studies..

1. Use dedicated academic hashtags!

Currently, note official has prepared many dedicated academic hashtags (such as "I love math")!
...However, unfortunately, the number of uses seems to be small 😭

Since this is a great opportunity, I would like to use this contest to promote the use of dedicated academic hashtags!
It's not a strict rule, but I would like to give preference to articles that use these hashtags when selecting the (semi-)STUDY award🙇‍♀️

"Learning in 2021" sounds exactly like a hashtag for this contest, doesn't it! lol 😝

I have also mentioned my thoughts on dedicated academic hashtags in this article, so please take a look if you'd like.

2. Wanted! Articles that delve deep into the content of academics!

Regarding study, I hope you don't just stop at declaring your goals, but write specifically about the content of the subject. For example, just saying "I want to pass the Math Certification Pre-1st Grade in 2022" doesn't really expand as an article, does it? 💦

Therefore,
🍏
why you want to acquire it, and how you will use it in the future🍎
the charm of mathematics, concrete explanations of mathematics

I would be happy if you could incorporate things like these to give your article depth.
Especially the latter.
If it's math,
🐣I felt like doing calculus for no reason, so I tried drawing a lot of graphs
🐣The reason why "getting hit by raindrops doesn't hurt" as understood by solving differential equations
🐣"Average annual income" is unreliable! Tell me the median!
🐣The probability that two people with personalities like Nacchan and Aya will meet and form a duo is a miracle on the level of winning the first prize in a lottery

...there are many interesting stories like that.
"Man, the squeeze theorem is the best, isn't it!" I want to read articles like that 💦

I'm sorry, I tend to get passionate when it comes to math😝
Of course, it doesn't have to be math, but anyway, I would be very happy if you could declare your reflections & goals after specifically showing the content and fun of the subject, rather than just saying "I'll pass the Math Certification Pre-1st Grade in 2022! That's all!"💕

🏍 From Nacchan

Please take a look at the message I received from Nacchan, the originator of this contest.

What kind of year was 2021 for you?

While looking back on your memories,
so that 2022 will be even more fruitful,
why not take this opportunity to reflect and
set your goals?

In my case, the memory that
left the biggest impression
was the summerWorld Heritage Contest.

Aya-sensei reached out to me,
and we held it as a collaboration project with the Study Club, just like this one.
While reading the entries, I felt like writing one myself,


and the article I wrote on a whimwas selected forthe official note magazine...
It became a very memorable event,

both as a contest and for me personally.
Next year,

I'm thinking I might try knocking on the doorof WordPress University!

This contest is a great theme that you can also post aboutusing official hashtags✨

For example,Recommended Spots for 2021and
Places I Want to Visit at Least Onceare
perfect for entries in the Bike category♬

You don't need to overthink it, so
please try writing an article
about your experiences, thoughts,
places you want to visit,
and the reasons why, just as they are!

I am looking forward
to reading many articles💕

🏍Closing

I've ended up saying quite a lot, but since Nacchan went to the trouble of thinking up a contest theme that is easy for everyone to participate in, I believe the best thing is for you to freely write about what you truly want to write.🙇‍♀️
As Nacchan also commented above, I hope you will write "without overthinking it, just as it is." Basically, there are no "must-haves" for this contest (as long as you follow the theme).

I think many of you often write reflection articles on a weekly or monthly basis. I would be happy if you could take this opportunity to look back on the year, and based on that, talk happily with everyone about what kind of year you want to make next year, and welcome the New Year with hope.
🙇‍♀️

Thank you very much for reading until the end🙇‍♀️
I will continue to do my best, so I would be super happy if you could give me likes, comments, follows, support, recommendations, or share my articles as encouragement.
I will follow back 100%.

I am very excited to be able to hold a contest where we will judge seriously to decide the winning entries for the first time in a while, and to do it in collaboration with Nacchan.
I am waiting with bated breath to encounter many works.
See you later!💕
