Hehehe I’m blowing my trumpet loud and clear here. Just a short while ago I saw a notification pop up in my rather choker block full notification inbox, bursting at the seems as it usually is at this time of the month. As the notification flew up from the bottom of my screen I just caught the words that I was a Connect Challenge Winner. Really I thought!!! What’s this all about? Well when I checked I saw that I had been awarded the lovely badge shown in the screenshot below. But I wondered what it was all about
Before I go blowing my trumpet, I thought I’d better check to make sure that there wasn’t some sort of mistake here. The notification said that I was a recipient of a Connect Challenge Winner badge but to be honest, I had no knowledge of having participated in any Connect Challenge, well not recently anyway, and I’d hate to gloat about this if it was in fact intended for someone else. I couldn’t have that.
So I asked about it and @SholaIB kindly jumped in with a private message and explained that he got the same badge and he reminded me about this post by Ority, the post about connect 7th birthday. We were all invited to share 3 points:
Your favorite memory
What you’ve learned on connect
Tag one friend that you’ve made on connect.
Haha what a dork I am lol. I’d totally forgotten about this so thank you @SholaIB for reminding me!!! If you hadn’t seen my entry for this challenge then here is a link to it.
OK so I’ve shown you my Connect Challenge Winner badge so in the comments below, if you’re also a lucky winner then join in and share your badge here. Let’s all blow our trumpets together and just think, the more of us that do, the louder it will be hehehe
OK here’s a challenge, lets see how many of the lucky recipients of this prestigious badge we can round up to join us here in blowing their trumpet together LOL. OK over to you.
Big congratulations to you @AdamGT and @SholaIB on getting such a beautiful badge. Although I did also participate but unfortunately I may not be in the list of 108 (criteria not known).
Thank you @Kumaarsantosh but don’t jump too soon as I understand that the counting is still in progress. You may yet receive the badge and if so I want to see it listed here with mine
Haha well I didn’t pick the logic in your clever first comment then @Kumaarsantosh but I have to tell you, mind has been full of Local Guide names and levels, and points, and photo views, and stars and so on, just not thinking straight lol and you probably guessed this already from the fact that I originally had no idea what this Connect Challenge Winner badge was all about. OK I wait to see your badge now Santosh.
You are such a gem who keeps us inspiring in various ways and methods. Be it Leaderboard concept, guidance on various aspects or the picture games, all of them are unique in their own way.
Thank you @Kumaarsantosh , you are too kind. However, I truly appreciate that my input here inspires you as in return this is personally very rewarding to me.
Congratulations @Designer_Biswajit . I’m pleased to see that you also are a recipient of this beautiful badge and it’s nice to see that you have joined our group of trumpeters.
Do I have a chance to win even though I did not submit anything? How do I present his picture to win, or do I not understand anything like that? Should I post a wonderful picture, then wait for my luck, or what?
And, to increase your happiness quotient with me, here is my badge.
For clarity sake, I have enclosed two snapshots: one received through email from Local Guides Connect and the other one which is visible in my profile on Local Guides Connect. So, mine is amongst 173.
Winner Winner! Though, I’m a little jealous of these fancy emails others have received. I only found out via my notifications on Connect. I’m glad the numbers are increasing, too. 108 from your post seemed rather low. Congrats on your winning answers, @AdamGT et al.
Well done @JustJake indeed you are a winner winner!! This post is a mental distraction from the posts that I should now be working on. Just waiting for the weekend really but then again, I might just get lucky time wise tomorrow.
