The new and improved FL contest (for lack of a better title) is a contest for FL contributors being run in October 2008. The previous contest, held back in June, was won by Sephiroth BCR.
Entrants will be accepted up until Friday October 10, at which point the contest will officially begin. Entrants can pick the topics they want to work on starting on October 3, but will not be allowed to submit any lists at FLC until the tenth at 20:00 GMT. The winner will be awarded a fancy barnstar. Those that do not like barnstars can enter for fun.
This contest, conceived by Scorpion0422, is a way to get some interest in the process and provide users with a challenge as most will be working with lists in topics that they have previously done little work with. It will also help populate some of the under-represented FL categories. One goal of the contest is to introduce veterans to new topics and it has had success at this in the past. For example, thanks to the first contest, Sephiroth BCR gained an interest in working on awards related lists and that category quickly grew.
You could help by reviewing the FLCs that contestants submit. This will ensure that they will not be bogged down in the process.
In the first contest, users worked on one list, so basically the first one to reach FLC won. This time, the contest will be taking more of a wikicup approach and users will work on multiple lists.
So that everyone in the contest has something to aim for, we have decided to give awards out as well. So far, there is only one confirmed category.
And there are others that Matthew and Scorpion0422 are currently debating, opinions and suggestions are more than welcome.
It is recommended that you watch this page so that you will quickly be aware of any news or developments.
