Rules of the Steemit Monthly Author Badget Challenge:

- Post 1 article with a photo of your life every day for one month and use the tag #monthlyauthorchallenge for this posts & a recognizable title like "S.M.AC by Your Username, Month X - Day X!" for example! - You don´t have to add a detailed describtion to your photo article and it can be a quick photo post with Steepshot for example too. *(But don´t forget the #monthlyauthorchallenge tag & the recognizable post-title!)* - It´s not important that the photo of your life is up-to-date, but it shouldn´t be older than 1 year, or you can also choose a photo of your childhood if you like, or a video recorded by yourself etc... - To make it more comfortable for everyone, you don´t have to nominate someone for the challenge every day in your daily post. Nominating is voluntary, but to share this fun, I would suggest to nominate some other Steemians from time to time, so that you can do this funny challenge together. - Your challenge ends when you reached the Monthy Author badget on steemitboard.com and then just make a final post that you finished the challenge. Info: The period for the Monthly Author Badget is always from the first of a calendar month until the last day of this month. 👌

That´s it, just have fun and if you like, share this challenge too and let´s become Monthly Authors everyone - Steem On!

Nomination:
I don´t want to nominate a specific person, because everyone is invited to join this challenge - Just have fun guys! If you haven´t joined so far and you want to achieve the Monthly Author Badget too, just start with the #monthlyauthorchallenge at the first day of a new month.
