- **Competition type:** Solo—the focus is on receiving credit for reading the article.
- **Preparation:** You'll need to write the article and decide who you want to read it.

This type of communication would be well-suited to a News & Notice, rather than Focus Content. See [Post News & Notices.](docId\:P00Wk2U3pwXPv-1cxi0D5)
