<p><br></p><p>Writing is a form of expression π. It is the easiest way to express yourself without talking to anyone; it is more preferable to talking π¬. Writing is not just about grammar or vocabulary π.

Most of my written work is out of expression; I write based on how I feel π. I prefer writing when I'm in that particular situation at that particular time; it gives me room to pour out more and express myself very well π«.</p><p><br></p><p>To me, writing has more to do with passion π₯; writing is something you have passion for and still decide to better and enhance your skill πͺ. My writing has a lot to do with my personal life; I don't just wake up one morning, surf through the internet π, and look for what to write. I write based on what I'm doing, how I feel, or what I know π€.</p><p><br></p><p>Writing has had a lot of impact on me; when I write, I feel more comfortable π, and I'm able to express myself better π¬.

At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
