We’ve spent the last couple months rolling out our Upcoming section and now that it’s fully operational we’d like to invite more of you to become regular NextRound contributors, doing your part in the fight against boredom. And to add a bit of motivation, for the foreseeable future we’ll be giving away surprisingly non-crappy prizes to each month’s top contributor.
How each monthly contest will work:
- The contributor who generates the most pageviews from posts promoted to the NextRound front page in each given month is that month’s winner.
- Posts submitted to Upcoming can be promoted one of two ways: 1) Editors manually promote the best posts, or 2) 20 like votes gets auto promoted.
- Logged in users can view the number of pageviews a post has generated next to the categories line in each post.
- Each contributor’s approximate month-to-date pageviews can be viewed in the sidebar of individual author archives under “Contributor Stats” (example here).
- At the end of each month we’ll determine the winner and that person will take home a $250 Amazon gift card, which may or may not be in Canadian dollars (just kidding…unless we aren’t).
- Runner-up may or may not receive a prize of our choice.
**NOTE: Upcoming urls redirect to the front page url when promoted, so subs to social media will continue to direct to the correct post even if promoted.
Tips for contributing/making the front page:
- Have a non-lame nickname (account settings here).
- Have a non-lame avatar (get one here).
- Write like you passed 9th grade English.
- Sub new and noteworthy images, videos, links, and lists (not shit we’ve had on here before).
