Who Can Enter the Contest?
Anyone over the age of 18. There are no location restrictions.
Can I Write Under a Pen Name?
Yes! You can use your real name on your HN profile, a fake name, or even create a persona to write under.
You can also enter the contest as both an individual or as a company writing under a branded account.
How Long Will the Contest Run?
Round 1: August 1 - August 31, 2021
Round 2: September 1 - September 30, 2021
Round 3: October 1 - October 31, 2021
Can I submit more than one entry to the contest?
Yes. Contestants can submit as many #gaming-metaverse stories as they want each month.
The more the merrier; the more you submit, the more chances you have of winning.
How are the winners selected?
Each month, we’ll take the top 10 story submissions that generated the most traffic.
Those 10 stories will be voted on by HackerNoon staff and the 5 stories with the most votes win.
Can I win more than one prize?
Yes! If you submit multiple stories, each has the chance to win.
Nominees are selected by total traffic each month and then voted on by our team. If 2 of your submitted stories that month are in the top 10 most-trafficked that month, both of them are eligible to win a prize.
Meaning you could potentially bag both first and second place in the contest if 2 of your stories make it to the top 10.
If I win a prize in round 1, can I still submit another entry into round 2?
Absolutely! Please feel free to enter each round of the competition.
