Before we get to this week’s theme, we have a few ***BIG*** thank yous…

<center>![untitled.gif](https://media.tenor.com/images/81ad1ea6123f23f8fb9e90146cb863c1/tenor.gif)</center> 

To begin, [SilverStreak](@joanstewart) quietly and without us noticing, dropped 10 HBD into our wallet just over two weeks ago! 

Secondly, as is becoming the habit around here, last week’s winner [Silver Clicker](@justclickindiva) sent some of her winnings right back to us, so we've added that 10 Hive to the **prize pool.**

Lastly a bow goes to [Silver Thumb](@cicsaja) for increasing her **delegation** to the community account, (@hive-106306).  This means that as our account grows, so does our capacity to support posts from active members of our community.

### Some housekeeping

- Please follow our community **curation trail** - another way to support the community and its members.  You can sign up [here](https://hive.vote/dash.php?i=15&id=1&user=hive-106316).  
- Join us for a coffee and a chat in our [**Discord** server](https://discord.gg/6bnX2MMpat) which is open to subscribed members only.  
Again, a special thank you to @macchiata for all her help with this as we navigate our way through more new things.  It's not true that you can't teach old dogs new tricks - we’re all **still** learning!

## 🌻A reminder🌻

For those of you who are regular contributors to the [Silver Bloggers Community](https://peakd.com/c/hive-106316/created) #bow initiative, and newcomers, too, a reminder that:

- The winners' announcement is separate from the new theme.  If you missed the *winning post*, you'll find it [here](https://peakd.com/hive-106316/@hive-106316/blog-of-the-week-winners-19-october-2021).

- to keep things fair:  the same person (account) may not win twice in succession. <br> 
In summary, last edition's winner may enter, but the contribution, like those of the judges' panel, will not be eligible for a prize .

## Theme for the Week closing on *Tuesday 2 November 2021*

This time we’re having a wickedly fun theme, and hope to see many of our Silver Bloggers joining in -

Go through those old photographs and scrap books and take us on a trip back to your wicked Halloween tricks and treats! 

#### How to enter your post for the Blog of the Week (#BoW) - note the *additional criteria*
1.	Posts must be in English and *obviously* centre on the week’s topic.
2.	Prose must be a minimum of 350 words.  If it’s a photo or graphic essay, the photos must be your original work and preferably with some sort of back-story to the images.
3.	The blog must be posted in/from our [community](@hive-106316) 
4.  The account must be a **subscribed [Silver Blogger](https://peakd.com/c/hive-106316/created)**
5.  Use #BoW - blog of the week - as your ***first*** tag.  And follow the tag so we can all easily find, upvote and comment on other entries.
6.	Share the link to your entry in the comments of **this** post **and** in our [Discord channel](https://discord.gg/6bnX2MMpat) which is open to **subscribed members only**.  

**A reminder for everyone:** 

The community description which you will find [here](https://peakd.com/c/hive-106316/created), is a guide to the content that is welcome in the Silver Bloggers' Community.  We will encourage folk who post content that doesn't jive, to find an alternative and more comfortable space in which to play.

### Deadlines
The contest closes at midnight GMT (also known as UTC) on Tuesday 2 November 2021 and the winners will be announced later the following week.
