Subject: Contest: Scavengers!
Posted by: WesleyCrusher
Date: Sep 08 23
Seekers of Knowledge,
the Sentinels are looking for quests to further instruct those who wish to follow their ways. To be exact – at least one hundred of them. These quests shall be in the form of scavenger hunt challenges. As this huge number is too much for any one person, there shall herewith be a proclamation of a
PUBLIC COMPETITION
We need: 100 (or more) Scavenger Hunts requiring to play exactly 20 (twenty) quizzes each.
Each such hunt shall have a theme which can easily be illustrated on a single badge image without requiring color (this may exclude some things like a rainbow or certain flags). It can be a thing (a car, a horse, a house…), a place (Paris, Africa, Stonehenge), an activity (running, playing) or a concept (love, energy,…). Themes already covered in scavengers can be reused, but they must be an entirely fresh list of quizzes.
No more than six quizzes may be from the same category, no more than four from the same author. Please try to keep your difficulties mostly at average and tough, although we have room for some easier and/or harder lists.
A submission consists of:
1) An unpublished(!) quiz list of between 24 and 30 quizzes. If you include more than 24, we will use the first 24 if possible, but if one should not work, we’d have spares. (We recommend to add at least one extra)
2) A challenge start and completion text. The overarching theme of the series is related to exploring, so you can use that.
3) Optionally, a link to a public domain or free license (Pixabay) image. We cannot use Creative Commons: Attribution for this one. The image can be in any format and color, although clipart might work better than photos.
You may submit any number of entries. Your list can include quizzes you are writing specifically for this purpose. They need not be online at the time of judging, but they must be reasonably complete.
Send your entry by site message to FTContests. Make sure to include the ID of your quiz list along with the text parts.
Prizes: Your scavenger being used on the site and 4 prestige if at least one of yours is chosen. Should we use multiples, each additional one is an extra one prestige.
Close of entries: September 30.
This competition is open to Gold Members only because of the required submission format (free members can’t add other members’ quizzes to lists). However, if you wish to use your trial membership for this purpose, you can create your list(s) in that time and we can judge it afterwards.

Do you have enough entries or need more? I could come up with another I’m sure if needed. Reply #46. Sep 29 23, 4:21 PM |

I started making a second one after I sent my first, but unfortunately did not get round to completing it. Oh well, maybe another time! Reply #49. Sep 30 23, 7:25 AM |

Phew, got one sent off just in time. This really makes the average player appreciate how much thought and skill goes into creating authoring challenges and lists. Reply #50. Sep 30 23, 8:34 PM |

@Wes, I was wondering: How will we know whether our entry was chosen? Will we receive a private message? If we don't hear something by a certain date, should we assume our entry was not chosen? Thanks for any help! -- Sandpiper Reply #51. Oct 02 23, 11:32 PM |

Just as a quick note: We have received well below 100 entries, so every qualifying entry will be used (and rewarded). We currently have some other priorities - also regarding some things we need to do before we can implement those new scavengers, so we won't judge the entries immediately, but they won't be forgotten. Everything is safely downloaded and backed up. My current projection is that we should get to a final judgement in mid to late October. If anyone wishes to submit additional ideas - feel welcome. I can't guarantee they'll be given the prestige bonus however. Reply #52. Oct 08 23, 12:19 PM |

Much later: I have submitted two lists, then totally forgot about it until I stumbled across this thread again. Once QuiWriMo finishes, I might find time and interest in compiling another, if you are still looking for contributions. Reply #54. Nov 23 23, 10:00 PM |

After seven and three half other things, I finally got around to having a closer look at the competition entries. All nineteen entries qualify and are of great quality. So if you took part, you won. I'll award the prestige once I have a user interface to do so :) Reply #55. Nov 26 23, 12:05 PM |

Quick info: I now have the ability to reward these bonus prestige scores and just did the lists. If you submitted a list within the competition timer, you should see a +4 in your recent prestige gains (and the few who sent more, a +5 or +6 respectively). Let me know if anything seems off.
