Today is Monday and you know what that means? Yes, it's time to fling open the doors of the Scout's Chambers for the very first time. We talked quite a lot about the whole hullabaloo here in the introduction and we set a day to kickoff; Monday. That day seemed very far away but it is here!
Welcome to The Alpha edition!
Nominations Are Now Open!
This week's nominations will be open from Monday 4th December, 2017 to Friday 8th December, 2017.
You could wait till Friday before submitting your nominated links just to make sure you're submitting the best of the best but do note that peradventure someone beats you to nominating the post, it's a first come first served kinda thing. So you need eyes and speed.
Once again, here's a recap of the rules:
PLEASE READ THE RULES OF THE CONTEST AS ANY BREACH OF THE RULE DECLARES ENTRY INVALID
Nominations open on Mondays (12:00 am) and closes on Fridays (11:59 pm). This means only posts published and submitted within this time frame are eligible.
You should not nominate your own post.
The post must be made by a Nigerian using the Nigeria tag ( #nigeria ).
Scouts are limited to just 2 nomination slots every week (use wisely).
All successfully nominated posts will be compiled and the "author of the week" announced on Sunday.
Author of the week receives a $25 SBD gift while the first scout to nominate the author gets a $5 SBD gift.
Secret Sauce
Did we mention that there could be some other secret rewards for top scouts? You never know :)
Whenever you wear that author's hat this week, make sure it is to put out something scout worthy.
Whenever you put on that scout's hat this week, make sure it is to search for top quality.
Make sure to read that introduction over and over like a whitepaper you're determined to understand.
May the force be with you.

Oh dear, the entry you submitted was published "yesterday".

The issue is not with the time you submitted the entry but the time the entry you submitted was published by the author. Only posts published between Monday and Friday are eligible. This means that posts published on saturday and sunday aren't eligible.
Do you get the gist now?

Let's go! We are ready.
Today is the last day for nominations for this week.
