Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long is the challenge running?
The challenge is open this year until December 31, 2014 (US Pacific Time).
Who can participate?
Anyone can participate, including SAP employees, partners, customers, and students.
What types of movie can I review to earn the "Movie Critic" badge?
There can be many reasons for you to pick a movie you would like to review. It can be because it caught your eyes, you find it entertaining, or because you think it shows exactly how your business needs could be solved. It can be that you are simply curious about the product.
What types of movie can I produce to earn the "Movie Producer" badge?
How about explaining your NetWeaver Portal project, your NetWeaver Portal scenarios, a testimonial, a demo, something with humor, an animated presentation, a Google hangout etc.? You are free to choose the tool and format to produce your own video.
I accepted the challenge and wrote a blog, but I haven’t received the Critic or Producer badge yet. How come?
The SAP Portal Product management team will review all the published blogs and reserves the right to exclude from the challenge any blog without meaningful content. For example: When you review a movie, you should explain in your blog why you think that this video is so excellent/interesting/funny… and why you like it. Tell us something about your own SAP NetWeaver Portal experiences and projects and why this video can help or inspire you or why it is fun.
Once we have reviewed the submissions we will award the badges manually on a weekly basis. Please be patient.
Is there a winner of the challenge, and how it is defined?
At the end of the year the whole SCN Portal community will be able to vote in a poll in order to pick the best movie critic and movie producer blogs. The authors of the best blogs will receive an additional badge and more points.
How many times can you create a blog as a movie critic or movie producer?
As many times you like.
