Summer Camp is over, and you—and your fellow Anvilites—have written thousands of new articles! So... what's next?
Well, now's your chance to check in with your creative goals and resolutions, set your resolutions for the rest of the year, and even learn from other Anvilites. This is what the Reading Challenge is all about!
BUT WAIT! Did you finish Summer Camp? Make sure you CLAIM YOUR CERTIFICATE before you continue with the reading challenge!
How to enter
Step by step instructions
- Make sure you have a World Anvil account (and you're logged in!).
- Pick 10 articles submitted to Summer Camp written by other Anvilites. Read each article and give it a like and a friendly comment. Make sure to mention something you liked about it! If you decide to give feedback, make sure it's constructive and that the author wants it.
- Create a Generic Article in your world. Write about your Summer Camp experience andmaybe link in your pledge document (if you took part). Then, link to the articles you read and write about what you liked and even what you learned from them.
- Create a new section in the same article and use it to reflect about your creative goals and progress. If you took part in the New Year's Resolutions challenge, review your challenge entry and compare it with the current state of your world. How's progress on your goals? Have they changed? What are your creative resolutions for the rest of the year? Write all of this down in the article.
- Submit the generic article before September 1st! To do so, make sure the generic article is not a draft (i.e. published) and public (i.e. not private), then click the trophy button at the bottom of the article editor.

Remember: You don't have to have participated in Summer Camp to take part in the reading challenge!
