TL;DR: This is a huge contest to celebrate the 2nd birthday of Sinisterly. Read the entire thread before participating.
So, to celebrate the coming of Sinisterly's 2nd birthday and boost the amount of high quality informational threads, I've decided to run a sitewide contest. I have really high hopes for this event, as I think it will be great fun. There will be a large amount of prizes, the most we've ever awarded people in the past. There will be over 65,000 SP awarded and additional prizes at the end. Competitors are supposed to make informational threads, such as tutorials to share their knowledge and expertise with others.
[ Sections & Prizes ]
These are the sections and their listed prize amounts. They are subject to change, based on activity during the competition.

For sections that are marked "category-wide", only one winner will be selected from the entire category. These sections are already full of life, or aren't a priority, but we'd still like to see some new stuff in them. If there's a huge amount of people competing in a particular section, the judges and I will pick additional winners or raise the SP amount.
[ Sections & Prizes ]
Additional prizes will be given out at the end of the contest. These will be announced further on during the contest. Winners will be put into a raffle and honorable mentions will receive prizes as well. We'll try to make sure that most of you win something!
[ Rules ]
- The contest will end on the 31st of August, the day of Sinisterly's birthday. Note that it may take a while to judge and select winners for the contest. It's estimated we'll have everything concluded by the 10th of September.
- Submitted threads are supposed to be informational in nature. You're supposed to teach others something, or share knowledge on a topic. Threads that aren't helpful will be junked.
- You must submit your own work. Breakers of this rule will be subject to disqualification and Sinisterly's rules. Don't try to copy other people, we'll catch you. Seriously.
- You may only win prizes for a maximum of 2 sections. If you're uncontested in a section and you've won in two others we'll select a different winner in one of the other two sections. You'll still receive the prizes for the 2 sections you would have otherwise won in, depending on the amount of SP.
- The judges and I aren't responsible for keeping up to date with your threads if you choose to modify them after they are submitted. It is allowed, although we might not notice crucial edits you make. It's suggested that you make all edits prior to submitting your thread.
- Judges are allowed to participate, although they may not judge in sections they have submitted threads for. This is to ensure judges are not bias and make sure things are completely fair.
- For real-life prizes, such as T-shirts or stickers, you may choose to have them substituted by SP. If you live outside of the United States, this might be a good choice, although it is open for discussion.
- Do not discuss the contest in this thread. This thread is for information and submission of threads. There is a lounge thread for the contest, which is at the bottom of this post.
- These rules are subject to change at any time during the contest and after.
