Sub-Layer Con 2024
Sub-layers (a category that comprises both sub-levels and rooms) are a foundational part of the— wait… we did this already! Yes, in case you weren't aware, we had a Sub-layer contest back in the dark ages of 2020, and we are bringing it back. In our continuous effort to strengthen the bonds between our wiki articles, we decided that the best way to get our users to use previously built elements was to force them to do so. For this contest, you must take an existing level with no sub-layers and create a new one for it!
Rules:
- As always, the goal of this contest is for people to create high-quality pages, in this case sub-layers (which comprise both sublevels and rooms), with an additional restriction: you must pick a parent level that has no current sublayers.
- You may submit only one article for this contest.
- You may participate with an article that began development prior to the official announcement of the contest.
- The score of each article will be based purely on their rating at the end of the voting period.
- Editing your articles after they are posted is allowed, if needed.
- Contest entries will not require greenlights to be posted.
- You may use the code "sublayercon2024" to post entries for the duration of the contest. Use of this code for other coldposts will be met with disciplinary action.
- Any attempts to give yourself an unfair advantage will result in disqualification. What counts as this will be decided by staff on a case-by-case basis. If you aren't sure if something counts as this, please ask staff.
- All entries must be posted during the designated "Posting Period". Any articles posted before or after this period will not count as entries in the contest.
- Please tag your entries with "sublayercon2024". All articles tagged as such will automatically show up on this page.
- Please set the parent page of your article to this page for the duration of the contest by going to + Options > Parent on your page. Staff will remove the parent after the voting period has ended.
- The top 3 winners will each get to pick an article in the December feature cycle. An additional feature may be added if there is a tie. If no such tie exists, the author(s) of the 4th highest ranked article of the contest will get to pick the 4th feature.
A recommendation:
- Remember that it is always possible for multiple authors to participate with one collab article for all contests that do not state otherwise (as is the case of this one). That is why, in honor of the recent efforts to promote collaboration within the site, we encourage you to get your (Fortnite) duo or gather a team to participate in this contest, though it is definitely not required.
Dates
- June 3rd - June 30th (4 weeks) — The Writing Period: During this time, no articles may be posted, but you should work on writing and perfecting your articles.
- July 1st - July 14th (2 weeks) — The Posting Period: During this time, all articles submitted for the contest will be posted. You may still work on writing during this period.
- July 15th - July 21st (1 weeks) — The Voting Period: During this time, no more articles may be posted. This period exists so that articles that are added later can still rack up points.

All contest dates are based on "Anywhere on Earth", meaning that if the Posting Period is active in any time zone, posting is allowed.
One Final Word of Advice
Remember that this contest is just for fun. It's okay to be a little competitive, but don't let it get to the point where it lessens your or someone else's enjoyment of the contest.
