YES, Saturday, July the 31st is the 50th week of StateChallenge and also the beginning of the new challenge #AwarenessChallenge — big applause to both 
If the StateChallenge moves on from the subject of the United States, this week it will be a closing chapter but there is a change in the scenario along the way. StateChallenge has been branched to “CountryChallenge”, “CityChallenge”, "GoogleChallenge”, and now “AwarnessChallenge”. Thanks to @Denise_Barlock and @jayasimha78 who run the show and @Kwiksatik who also initiated this challenge. It has been a Saturday get-together for certain attendees like myself 
Some of the subjects are Halloween, Christmas, 4th of July, Indonesia, India (Amritsar, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Kerala, Mumbai), Pakistan (Punjab, Sindh), soon also Argentina, and many more to come. If you are interested to co-host your City or Country, please contact @Denise_Barlock .

As we expected all participants were very competitive, the game started with 100 to 300 value choices while the bigger one was saved till the end to make the game more interesting. Double value point is a bonus where all participants are waiting for. Cool huh?
