Contributions Contest

== Rules of the current contest ==
Original version posted to the Caledon Forums on Friday, June 6, 2008
THE CONTEST IS BACK! (Please pardon the shouting.)
For the next six weeks, we are hosting another contest to encourage contributions to our sister publication, the Caledon Wiki.
Each week, two prizes of L$750 each will be awarded to the two best Caledon Wiki contributions of the week, for articles that are not about an individual. The contributions may be brand-new articles or significant extensions/upgrades of existing articles. At least one prize will go to a newly-created article if any are eligible.
For contest purposes, a week begins and ends at midnight SLT on Friday. The first week will commence at midnight SLT tonight, and ends at midnight on June 13, 2008. The contest ends with the sixth week closing at midnight on July 18, 2008.
All submissions posted to the wiki in each contest week will be judged by Wiki sysops Otenth Paderborn and Valentine Janus. Prizes will be announced on these forums and on the wiki, and paid within the following week.
All readers of the Wiki other than the contest judges are eligible to write and to win.
You do not have to do anything special to enter, just submit your work on the wiki. If you have not done so, you will need to create an account on the wiki to post--this is separate from your Forums log-in.
Help us continue to build this resource on the thriving nation of Caledon! Good luck to all.
