motivation
The last two could be the Author's country and or continent or any desired.
Content development
Life experiences of self and others, stories heard and events witnessed (in ones community, neighbourhood or state) alongside adequately referenced online resources - could all prove very resourceful if well harnessed. However, already published/licensed articles are not allowed, and any line(s) from such should be properly referenced to the original.
Content formatting has all to do with its quality. Authors may choose their desired style but the each paragraph should treat a specific aspect - experiences, stories heard, events witnessed.
Two bold heading other than the self chosen subheads should exist - In The Past & Today. While the "In The Past" heading elaborately treats the considered topic, the "Today" heading briefly compares the considered past with the contemporary present.
Rewards
Outstanding 2.50 SteemResourceful 1.50 SteemConsidered 1.00 Steem...and the rewards would only get better.
Qualifying entries could be considered for inclusion in an ongoing Encyclopaedia_Nigeria project with full reference to Author - for Nigerian Authors (another reason to be original).
