We do this in a few different ways.Editorial/in-house - planned based on past contest themes, what’s trending in search, which categories/channels need a little love, new site features or if there’s a certain type of content we want. Contest ideas also come from staff meetings and through the official contest idea forum topic.
Please post here and let us know! We can’t run all of them, but we love seeing the ideas you guys come up with.
Post something awesome! Check out this collection of tutorials that will tell you how to write a great instructable.
We enter contests to set the bar and give an example of the type of entries we want in the contests. We're not able to win them, though! It's important to note that several employees were authors on the site before they worked here, though, so you might see some wins in our achievements! :)
Keep an eye on this page to know about any other competitions we launch! You don’t want to miss out on the interesting categories we are about to introduce. There is something for each one of you, from the makeup gods to the hairdo obsessed to the fashion police.
Just stay tuned, there is guaranteed fun!
