    Can I write about my personal experiences with turkey gravy and yule logs?

    if it's a new article that's fine

    we don't go by 'experience' - just follow the RULES and you'll be ok :)

    Thanks, then. I'll start writing now :p :yeah:

    @sir1:

    I get 'Antigonish' stuck in my head sometimes. Nice.

    Also: Why does this site (& 'Central') have these contests? Or rather, why (and how) do you pay enough money to make it worth putting off other, quite possibly more important, things?

    This is the type of post I submit when I am overtired.

    This is a way for the site owner, brian, to give back to the nursing community. ;)

    Another dumb question:

    How are these contests judged? By the number of user 'kudos', comments, etc.? By staff? Pieces of paper in a hat? You'll probably say by some combination of the first two, which would indicate that the earlier an article is submitted within the quarter, the better the chances for recognition, a monetary prize, and glory.

    It doesn't matter, one way or another, just curious. Thanks again to Brian, et al., for the opportunity.

    It's actually a 3-step process.

    The first step is a list provided by the system. Yes, it's a combination of kudos, replies, etc, etc.

    The second step - 10 great articles are selected from the list. Criteria is based on readability, scope of article contest, follows contest rules, and quality.

    The last step - winners are chosen by staff. Criteria is individually based.

    Why the 3-step process?

    It decreases the number of cheaters/plagiarist that end up in the winning pool.

    Do you ever have repeat winners?

    Yes, we already have a few this year.

    Does it matter if we submit articles in the last month?

    No, we've had numerous winners who have submitted late in the contest cycle.

    How can you give so much in the article contest? on a quarterly basis?

    It's our way of rewarding those who share their knowledge and experience with the community. We believe in giving back to the community.

    Hi, morecoffeepls

    If you wrote your article after the 15th and before the 29th, it has been lost. Please re-submit and we apologize for this. It was unavoidable during the upgrade.
