Basic Information

This is a 13 month challenge where you will enter a contest at least 12 of those 13 months. (You get one "vacation" month in case life just rolls over you.) You don't have to win. You just have to have a legitimate entry. This challenge is on a rotating basis. Jump in whenever you'd like, just be sure to post a contest entry at least 12 out of 13 months!

Each month I will provide you with 3 contests to enter. At least one will be guaranteed to be a general contest, no religion, no higher ratings, etc. One contest may be one that many people choose not to enter. That's fine. Each month you only have to enter 1 of the contests.

Your contest entries should follow the rules of the specific contest you choose to enter.

How to Enter

For this challenge, title your post the same as the contest you entered. If you entered "The Writer's Cramp," then title your post "The Writer's Cramp." You will then post the note from their forum linking your entry for that contest. Simply post {post:xxxxxxx} with the "xxxxxxx" being the number of your post in THEIR forum. You do NOT have to post your actual item here. (But you can if you want to, within that post.) You are welcome to include any comments about the contest or about writing the item you entered, but that's not required. You are also welcome to announce if you should win a contest, but preferably on the thread where you posted your entry in our forum.

While, as mentioned above, you may add more, the most basic entry looks like this...
(Title of Post) The Writer's Cramp
(Body of Post) {post:xxxxxxx}

If you should miss 2 months within a 13 month period, don't worry. Just keep entering until you get 12/13 months.

Prizes

Every month, there will be a random drawing among the participants and the winner will get 2000 GPs. The winner will be decided by virtual dice.

Until we see how many people want to participate, the final prize, after entering a contest 12 out of 13 months, will be 2 Community Merit Badges (to be given by different people or a month apart to ensure they count). If, as we approach the end of our first year, there is a fair amount of participation, a special merit badge may be commissioned. At that time, those who complete the first year will have the option of 2 Community Merit Badges or one Community and our special commissioned one.

If a competitor chooses to enter all 3 contests offered in a month, they will get access to a special Trinket after doing so 3 times in a 13 month period. It is not necessary to enter all 3 contests for 3 consecutive months, only 3 times within 13 months. This may be done a total of 4 times in a 13 month period for a total of 4 Trinkets.
