General Rules

The proof of inaccuracy must come from the Bible (KJV or NKJV translation) supporting and proving the inaccuracy of the calendar as displayed on the website.  See chart 3 for the calendar information.

This does not include any other subjective way to show how God tracks time in an alternative form. As an example, utilizing Jubilee years as a template of proof or any other non-authoritative calculation method is not acceptable. The proof solely resides in proving that days, times and events do not align as God has shown through His word as laid out and explained in the Calendar Generator.

The challenge does not end here. Biblical Calendar Proof and Unlock The Word want nothing more than to give glory to God and His Word. Knowing there could be typographical errors in the GHCC, the first Entrant who presents a particular error and there is agreement by the
Operators, in their sole discretion, with the Entrant to the point of correction, this Entrant will be rewarded ($50) for that particular error. This means if multiple Entrants present the same error in the GHCC, it is the first Entrant who reaches out who receives the reward. Each typographical error, agreed to by the Operators, will be eligible for a reward, up to The Challenge maximum total (i.e., $20,000).

In addition, the first Entrant who submits an idea that the Operators of the Challenge, in their sole discretion, choose to implement within the Calendar Generator will receive a $500 reward.

If multiple Entrants present the same idea, it is only the first one Entrant who reaches out who will receive the reward. All challenges and suggestions must be submitted and registered at www.biblicalcalendarproof.com and not through any email, text or phone conversation. 

Biblical Calendar Proof also has a Timeline that is a valuable tool. Any Entrant who can add to the Timeline by utilizing the Calendar Generator will be rewarded ($100) per addition, up to The Challenge maximum total reward (i.e., $20,000). Any addition must be validated by Scripture (KJV and NKJV translations only) and fit perfectly, as judged by the Operators of The Challenge, in their sole discretion, into the current established Timeline on the site. If multiple people present the same information, it is only the first one who reaches out who will receive the reward. All Timeline submissions must be made through www.biblicalcalendarproof.com. 

The Challenge set forth here is to bring this important work to the public. If and when the funds are distributed The Challenge ends. Again, the total reward amount for all errors (typographical, Calendar Generator, Timeline) is the maximum total of $20,000.
