Re: Submission Award Definitions - Thoughts? Feedback?

I both love and am annoyed by the new definitions. I enjoy that it somewhat standardizes how everyone speaks about what they do and we can all be on the same page as far as the vocabulary used.

The part that can be annoying is when the team meets more than one of the definitions. We're already limited on characters so having to say that we host, run, and assist with an event can get a little wordy. Or when we started and mentor a team.

I also am picky when I edit writing and I hate it when the same word is used too often. There are paragraphs where the word 'assisted' is used three or four times and I feel as though it disrupts the flow.

I feel like with a few years of practicing, we'll figure out how to work these in so that that everything is less choppy!
