2020 MTE Up Challenge!
Posted: Mon Jan 13, 2020 2:18 pm
Hey editors!
We are excited to announce that we are launching the MTE Up Challenge this year.
What’s the MTE Up Challenge? The MTE Up Challenge is an event to encourage active and new editors to use the MTE & closures features in order to improve local experiences.
Sound familiar to the 2017 Awazeing Race? It is! The main difference is that in 2020 the event will run at different points throughout the year with separate events for each region (five events total). During these events the communities come together, joining forces in a mapraid-like challenge.
What’s so special about this event? There will be a leaderboard to show which countries and editors are leading in the challenge, there are rumors of some awesome badges or swag for winners, and you’ll get a whole lot of love from your community!
The first two challenges will kick off in February for the APAC and Brazil communities and will run for 8 weeks. We are aiming to run each challenge during a region’s warmer months when events season tends to pick up!
We will announce the dates for the NA, LATAM and EMEA MTE Up challenges once the APAC and Brazil challenges wrap up.
Don’t have closure permissions? Don’t worry! MTE Marshals will be available to mentor you and we will be introducing a process to provide temporary closure permissions to editors who are mentored. We will share a form to submit your request for temporary permissions a few weeks before your communities challenge launches.
Rules of the race
All editors who submit events in regions that are live throughout the race will automatically be included.
Not sure which region the country you edit in belongs to? Checkout the breakdown on this sheet.
Questions? Comments? Ideas? Let us know below!
Good luck!
