CONTEST CONTEST - SCP Foundation

CONTEST CONTEST

Ever wanted to run a contest? Now, you can. Well, you could before, too. Anyone can post a contest hub at any time. There is no rule explicitly preventing this. There is no written policy page for rules regarding contest hubs, as far as I can tell. I didn't have a ton of time to research.

HOWEVER: I am legally1 obligated to inform you that you should not attempt to run any sort of unofficial contest without speaking to the Community Outreach Team first. They would really prefer you didn't attempt to run a contest without their approval. I don't think they'd stop you, but many of the things you'd want to do in order to run a serious, quality contest cannot be done without their assistance and oversight.

Anyway. Point is, you could have run a contest before and you didn't. But now, some funny man whose name is literally placeholder is saying you can do it competitively. And there's no way you're turning that down. I mean, you've participated in worse contests.

Come on, don't lie to me, I know you have. I'm scrubbing through your wikidot user history right now. Memecon? Really? Like anything good was going to come out of that.2

How to Enter CONTEST CONTEST

1. Within the duration from 12:01 AM EST 6 January 2023 to 11:59 PM EST 12 January 2023, post a page to the SCP Wiki which

successfully qualifies for the contest tag, and

still exists at 12:01 AM EST 20 January 2023.

2. Due to the nature of the CONTEST CONTEST, we will unfortunately not be allowing art entries. Like, not just visual art — no art, at all. Your entry must not include anything artistic. Your entry can be an Art Contest, though, that's fine! Oh yeah, and, no theme or component pages as entries either. Apologies for the confusion.

IMPORTANT DATES

POSTING BEGINS: 12:01 AM EST 6 January 2023

POSTING CLOSES: 11:59 PM EST 12 January 2023

RESULTS DECIDED: 12:01 AM EST 20 January 2023

ACTUAL BIRTH DATE OF JESUS CHRIST: 1:00 AM IST3 6 April 6 Anno Domini,4 probably.

RULES

1. Highest-rated CONTEST CONTEST entry at RESULTS DECIDED time wins. (Visual) Art Contest entries are a separate category with a separate winner because purely visual art is fundamentally different from all other artforms and cannot be compared with them. All non-Art Contests are in the same category, though.

2. The following statement must appear at the top of your entry, right below your rating module:

I, <user not logged in>, fully recognize that CONTEST CONTEST by Placeholder McD is a joke page, and was created without intent to hurt, harm, cause problems, or be unsportsmanlike. I acknowledge that Placeholder McD has discouraged me from posting a Contest Hub without consulting the Community Outreach Team. I understand that the content of CONTEST CONTEST is purely satirical and should not be taken personally. In copying this statement to the top of my page, I admit that what will follow is entirely my fault, and Placeholder McD is in no way responsible for my actions.

Neololfoundation. Cheese Grater. Bottom Text.

Oh, hey, dude, you're currently logged out of your wikidot account. Yeah, it does that sometimes. Site's falling apart.

3. You are permitted to edit your CONTEST CONTEST entry, but not wholly replace it. Although you are allowed to add and remove sections to your CONTEST CONTEST entry, ultimately the central idea of your CONTEST CONTEST entry should remain the same. This also means that any edits that would comprehensively replace or overwrite your original CONTEST CONTEST entry will be prohibited. In the case of having a CONTEST CONTEST entry with planned updates or something similar that we have seen in prior contests, a full and thorough outline of said updates must be presented to a CONTEST CONTEST marshal before the end of the posting period. This is to help ensure that CONTEST CONTEST contestants are given the freedom to be creative with their CONTEST CONTEST entries while at the same time preventing the possibility of some CONTEST CONTEST contestants being able to obtain "additional time" to work on their CONTEST CONTEST entry after the end of the posting period. If unsure over whether an edit would violate these terms, please consult the following flowchart.

4. Any contestant who takes unusual and/or negative actions to increase their vote total, or decrease that of their competitors, will be awarded bonus points.

5. If you have any questions about CONTEST CONTEST, feel free to message one of my agents, HarryBlank, Liryn, or Ralliston. They're the CONTEST CONTEST Marshalls.

6. If you have any questions about being a Contest Marshall, feel free to message the Community Outreach Team. They're the CONTEST CONTEST Marshall Marshalls.

7. If you're a contestant looking to contest the opinions of the CONTEST CONTEST Marshall Marshalls, please feel free to contact the Contest Marshmallow.

TAGGING

Since this page is my ColdpostCon Entry, I was unable to have it reviewed by Community Outreach and, as such, could not arrange creation of the contestcontest tag prior to CONTEST CONTEST. So just do whatever's required to obtain the regular ol' contest tag on your entry.

Since I can't use Listpages to target only contest pages created between certain dates, they won't be listed here unless I edit the page, which I'm not allowed to do until ColdpostCon has concluded. So, on 12 January, between the end of ColdpostCon's Voting Period and the end of CONTEST CONTEST's Posting Period, I'll update this page to reflect all the CONTEST CONTEST entries! The entries currently on this page are placeholders5 to entertain you until then.

Special thanks to Placeholder McD for making the CONTEST CONTEST Hub Banner image in preparation for wasting everyone's time with this page. Special apologies to stormbreath, Modulum, Naepic, WhiteGuard, and several members of the SCP Official Staff Server Discord for badgering you with whether or not I could genuinely make this a contest. I am so, so sorry. This is a joke tale page. This is a joke tale page. Please, I am begging you, do not blemish my perfect record with a Disc thread based on the contents of this page. Thank you and good night.
