This page lists all contests at Encyclopedia SpongeBobia. Everyone is welcome to enter and vote in each of the contests. Most of them involve the background of the wiki.

Policies

  • 1. Contests can be used to choose backgrounds, logos, or anything else requiring user submissions and votes.
  • 2. Only administrators can open or close contests.
  • 3. Contests must have at least a two week voting period; there may be some exceptions with some contests having a shorter voting period.
  • 1. Every decision about the current background of the wiki is determined by the outcome of background contests.
  • 2. You are allowed to submit multiple backgrounds.
  • 3. All backgrounds must relate to SpongeBob or they will be removed.
  • 4. If you submit a background that won the previous year, it will be removed. You are allowed to submit backgrounds that did not win the previous year.
  • a. For Summer background contests, this rule does not apply. However, if a background from the previous year has placed in the same position as in the previous year, then it will be disqualified and the next position will be the winner of that placement.
  • 5. You can make your own background or add an image from the internet. While there's no size requirement, bigger is usually better.
  • 6. When making an entry, please use the correct format. This format should be provided on the contest page. If you are unable to do so, ask for help or someone will fix the form for you. You will not be penalized for doing this incorrectly.
  • 1. At the beginning of the final week, the current standings should be added in a table. It should be removed when the winner is announced.
  • 2. The ranking of a submission is determined by the difference of likes vs. dislikes. For example, if a submission has 4 likes and 3 dislikes, it has 1 point.
  • 3. Tiebreakers will be determined by another contest page with the finalists, usually shortly before the background is set to go up.
  • 4. When the winners are announced, it's common courtesy to give each of them a message telling them that they won.

Contest form

  • 1. Replace TITLE with the title of your contest in the box below.
  • 2. Click "submit."
  • 3. When you submit, fill out the information on the resulting page and then save the page.
