Where should I post my article?
In your personal journal on PulseWire. Do not post in the Voices of Our Future Group. This Group is reserved for weekly assignments, updates, and questions.
When is the assignment due?
The assignment must be posted to your journal by Tuesday April 7, 2009 at 11:59pm HST (Honolulu Standard Time).

What should I title my article?
Your title must be labeled as:
"VOF Week 3: (your title)".
You will place your own title in the parentheses (title).
Can I write my story in my native language?
At this time we are unable to read assignments in all languages. The primary language for submission is English. However, if your language is represented in our translation tool, our Listeners can use it to read your application. To find out, locate the "Translate Page" box on the top right of the page. If your language is there, you may write in your native language.
We look forward to welcoming many more languages in the future!
How to will I know if my assignment is 500 words or less?
Word Count Tool is a simple and quick online tool to find your word count. Simply copy and paste your article in the form and click on the Submit button. Your word count will appear under the form.
If you are using Microsoft Word, select the text of your article. Click on Tools in the top menu. Select Word Count from the drop down menu.
Who will be reading my assignment?
World Pulse has gathered together a group of volunteer Listeners, composed of World Pulse community and team members. Our goal is to create an evaluation process that is empowering and transparent, yet maintains a high level of integrity.
You are encouraged to meet the Listeners by visiting their group here. Although this group is closed to non-Listeners, you will be able to friend Listeners and stay informed of what is happening "behind the scenes."
What will I be evaluated on?
You will be evaluated on your ability to follow the instructions and the content of your assignment.
I still have a question. What do I do?
We encourage you to post your question to the Voices of Our Future Applicants Group, so that all applicants may benefit from your inquiry. We will answer it as fast as we can.
