SAP Activate Blogging Challenge

Dear SAP Activate Community,

We are excited to “activate” a new blog challenge for our community.

SAP Activate provides a clear guided methodology to deploy, adopt and extend new capabilities across your organization. Start fast, build smart, and run simple, while continuously innovating with SAP Activate.

To encourage active participation in the SAP Activate Blog area, we are launching this challenge which will run from November 1^st until December 31^st 2021.

We want to encourage everyone of you to actively share your expertise on the SAP Activate topic to share insights and knowledge across the community.

You want to participate? Here are the rules:

1. Make sure your SAP community profile is set public and you have inserted a photo
2. Follow the tag #SAPActivate and the community
3. Write a blog post on any SAP Activate topic
4. If you are new to blogging, check out the blogging guidelines
5. Tag your blog posts with the “SAP Activate” managed tag and “#blogchallenge” for the blog to count
6. Submission deadline: December 31st, 2021
7. The winners will be announced in a blog post, which they will be tagged in. You will receive a notification about the tag, so make sure to not miss out, and turn on the notifications over here (SAP Community profile -> account & settings -> activate “Content I was mentioned in”)

What will you get?

Randomly selected 10 bloggers will receive an SAP Activate e-book (value $80)
