All–
Many of you have seen the event that we launched on Veterans Day in the US:
In the effort to continue building a bevy of image-takers that can keep our powerful volunteer transcription team busy–we have launched the following event:
BillionGraves is providing the opportunity for individuals to band together as team-members through the end of the year. Teams can achieve a variety of milestones through their collective effort of capturing images. The most phenomenal is: an iPad2 will be given in your name to the school or charity of your choice when achieving 100,000 images (obviously specific terms and conditions apply).
We invite you to get more information on BillionGraves.com. Start or join a team and get cracking. You do not need to have an Apple or Android phone to organize and motivate a team! Everyone can participate and we hope that many will take the opportunity to do so. Sometimes all it takes, is an invitation.

>I love this idea. The post stops mid-sentence though. What else were you going to say? The university I go to has classes in family history and a Family History Center in the library. We have a team set up already. Will our teams still exist when the competition is over? I'd like to be able to keep team groups even when there is no competition. It is fun. It would be great if we could keep team scores for transcriptions too, not just uploads. Also, I'd like to see a total score in addition to a competition score. That way when we get to 2012 the competition score will disappear or go to the "Wall of Fame," but the total score will keep building. I think it'd be a good motivational factor, even without a competition.
