April Contest Details

Another month and yet another opportunity to win some cash money or gift cards!

This month we will be switching it up slightly, dropping the management contest because of the shear number of inaccurate reports. Even though management contests help the flow of stories to the front page, reports are simply not on point and some are blatantly "made up". We'll work on something to correct that and maybe try a management contest in May.

So, with that being said, let's get into April's break down.

-- TOP CONTRIBUTOR CONTEST --

Land yourself in the top two positions on the Contribution board and win up to $90. Note that bonus points will not be considered. Submission restrictions picked up this month will be considered as a DQ and the next contestant in line will win.

1st) $90
2nd) $60

-- TOP COMMENTS CONTEST --

The top "commenter" will pick up a prize. Of course we will be looking for quality as well. Commenting "awesome" or "this is nice" or any lazy comment will land you a DQ unfortunately.

1st) $60
2nd) $40

--BEST COMMENTS CONTEST (with minimum 250 comment points)--

This one will be voted in by Sonic and myself where the user with the most outstanding high quality comments for the month of February will take home $50!

Note that you cannot win both comment contests. It will be either one or the other. We're doing this so that the loot can be spread to as many users as possible.

1) $50

--QUALITY MVP PLAYER--

Ok, this is a somewhat new concept. We are looking for someone who does an overall good job of supporting TechSpy in a contribution and approval rule. This means proper submissions, good management practices and being a community player by adding beneficially to discussions. The winner will be hand selected by Sonic and myself.

There is only once exception here. Even though we are looking at management, we won't consider your tag reports (as this has a been a huge and controversial issue in the last month).

1) $50

A quick note on DQs (disqualifications) - A DQ on submissions will only boot you out of submission contests while a comment DQ will only knock you out of the top comments race.
