It's up to you. We will be looking only at the article, but if you feel a picture will help you can add it in though we do not require it.


Just to add onto Shreya, pictures will not improve your chances of being selected. We are solely looking at your writing capabilities and your ability to come up with a creative topic based on the theme.

Articles are always journalistic and non fiction. Do refer to http://www.india-forums.com/bollywood/talk-round-town/ for examples of articles that our team has covered.

Well generally, articles are expected to be journalistic and non fictional, cause that is the definition of an article. But if you can interpret the topic in a different way, go for it!

Bollywood and cuisine both are two vast topics is it necessary to include actors or we can just term Bollywood as a whole to cuisine or Bollywood music to cuisine? and even the vice versa
Secondly is comparing necessary can't we just show the two as one?

Thirdly mainly the title or the first phrase in a fiction grabs the eyes do we need to add something similar here too? i mean in a formal journalistic way?

Fourthly is it just one writer you guys are recruiting or is it more to the list?

And lastly if we get recruited now going totally offline in future for 2-3 months due to studies or anything would cause problem?

please answer my queries

before giving an entry i would really like to know.

Thank you in advance.

You can really connect cuisine to anything that is associated with Bollywood. All your points are actually different ways to approach the given topic!

Secondly is comparing necessary can't we just show the two as one?

Well we never asked you to compare, we've asked you to relate. So it is really open to interpretation!

Thirdly mainly the title or the first phrase in a fiction grabs the eyes do we need to add something similar here too? i mean in a formal journalistic way?

A catchy title and/or first phrase/line would definitely work in your favor. Remember though, we're looking for journalistic articles. Do refer to http://www.india-forums.com/bollywood/talk-round-town/ for examples of theme articles that we've covered before.

Fourthly is it just one writer you guys are recruiting or is it more to the list?

We're definitely recruiting more than one! All the deserving candidates will get a chance to join BollyCurry!

And lastly if we get recruited now going totally offline in future for 2-3 months due to studies or anything would cause problem?

As long as you inform us well in advance, I don't think it should be an issue. |Persephone| mentioned this earlier, we're from all over the world in different time zones and doing different things in our lives, so we do understand the need for a break due to work/study reasons. Do remember that when you take a break, someone else will be covering your articles, so you'll have to make up for it. Either you could help stockpile articles (write a few categorical articles in advance to be published later on) or you will have to compensate with writing extra articles when you get back. By extra articles, I obviously don't mean 6 articles a month as opposed the usual 2 (plus the additional ad-hoc ones, depending on your team), but you and your team can work out a way to compensate for the leave.

please answer my queries

Done!

before giving an entry i would really like to know.

Hope this helped!

Thank you in advance.

No worries!
