Rules For Contests!
Rules For Contests!
Before you go off and start making contest after contest, consider this--do you have what it takes to host a contest? We don't want 23409714091873832 random contests going on, so give yours some thought.
STEP 1: Make some rules/guidlines! Most of these are going to be writing contests, so maybe give a few sentences, and they have to write the rest of the chapter. MAKE SURE THE GUIDELINES ARE CLEAR TO ALL PARTICIPANTS.
STEP 2: What are the prizes? Make sure that the prizes are clear too, people always want to know what they're winning.
STEP 3: Explain who is going to be judging the contest. Is it you? A mod? Who? *Person has to be unbiased, and cannot take part in a contest they are judging*
Just follow the few steps, and your contest is ready to go!

Re: Rules For Contests!
And if you guys want a mod to judge your contest, it'd be best to ask them rather than just say they're going to. Out of courtesy.

((No prob... Thought it'd be better to post the rules first, rather than have to explain them later...)
Re: Rules For Contests!
Uh hi i would like to start a contest I was thinking maybe one where you write a short summary of a story it can be a summary of a story they have already written or just one they made up would this kind be good?

Kind of, I think it would be better if you provided the piece of writing that they had to summarize.
Re: Rules For Contests!
Oh yeah that's a good idea to now if the prize was going to be twigbuxks would the winner get mine?

When I thought of the contest idea I thought that they could be just added to the user's TwigBucks, as it would encourage people both to create contests and to participate.
Re: Rules For Contests!
Maybe I am not sure I hope it is like if you have to take the prize away from mine then i am not makeing that the prize lol.

Re: Rules For Contests!
I don't understand. You're not having a prize? Then what are the participants winning?
Re: Rules For Contests!
No i mean okay if my prize was twig bucks then lets say the prize was 20 does the 20 come out of mine or they just add them?

Yep, Twigadopts for sure, or perhaps a piece of artwork? ^^ It depends on the contest, but pretty much anything, really.
Re: Rules For Contests!
Or it could just be bragging rights. There doesn't have to be a prize.

There was a slot in the profile to edit Twigbucks, which was basically Twig's currency; everyone started with a hundred, and we used them to pay each other for contests. We ended up removing them because it was a really bad system, though, and they weren't used much anyway.
