silwritersguild | Middle-earth Olympics Closing Ceremonies (Reply)

The Middle-earth Olympics challenge is coming to a close, and to round out a fabulous monthlong event, we will be hosting closing ceremonies on the SWG’s Discord server 15 August 2021 at 15:00 UTC. (Find the closing ceremonies in your own timezone here.) The closing ceremonies will consist of two components: a medal ceremony and a fanworks reading.

While there are only a few days left of the challenge, it is not too late to get involved!

We have extended the challenge deadline this month to 15 August. All fanworks posted to the archive on or before that date are eligible for a stamp. As always, late fanworks are welcome but do not receive stamps. Find the Middle-earth Olympics challenge prompts here.
Award a medal. What is an Olympics without medals? Even if you weren't involved in the challenge, you can award a medal to someone who was. You can award medals for any kind of involvement in the challenge: creators, commenters, teammates, betas, fellow fans who inspired and helped you in any way as part of the challenge. Here is a chance to take just a few moments to show your appreciation for someone! (Find all of the fanworks created for the Middle-earth Olympics here.) Medals will be announced at the closing ceremonies and posted on the website after the event.
All are welcome at the Middle-earth Olympics Fanwork Reading during closing ceremonies, as readers or as listeners. For readers: please read only fanworks you created for the challenge. We ask readings be kept to 5 minutes or less so that everyone has a chance to read.
