Monthly Contest Changes

The Monthly Contests have been a great way to recognize and reward our top users. Many of you have achieved impressive milestones and we're glad to see people recognized and rewarded for contributions.

However, we realize that we can always improve, and we've received some great ideas on improving the contest format. Starting from January, we're going to implement your suggestions by making the following changes to the contest categories:

• Question with Most Answers NEW
• Survey Question with Most Responses
• Most Best Answers

The new category for "Question with Most Answers" will be awarded based on whoever asks a question that receives the most answers in the given month. We hope that this encourages people to ask some really interesting thought provoking questions.

In addition to the new category, we're changing the contest award format. Instead of the previous winner-takes-all format, we will now provide awards for the top 3 users in each category. The first place winner will receive $50, second place winner will receive $30, and the third place winner will receive $20.

With these changes, we hope to make the contest more interesting and also recognize and reward more people for their contributions.

If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, please send email to feedback@askpedia.com. We love to hear from you!
