General Information
Periodically, users of HymnWiki may wish to host a contest. To do so, go to the HymnWiki forum for contests. Make sure you register with Nabble, if you haven't done so (it's free). Then, make a post, state your contest name or whatever in your subject, and state the terms of your contest in the body of your post. All contests should be related to HymnWiki and should be designed to promote its use and content. Make sure that all appropriate submissions are posted on HymnWiki. See appropriate content for HymnWiki.
Examples of Contests
- Hymn-writing contest (words and music: SATB; 1-2 pages; 3 verses); must be about spiritual gifts and must be in the following poetic meter: C.M.; winner gets $20; submissions accepted until 20 June 2007; all submissions will be posted on HymnWiki.org (that's largely the point of the contest)
- Hymn-translation contest: translate Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing into Spanish; same poetic meter; winner gets a $30 gift certificate to the Whistle Shop.
- Hymn-translation contest: translate . . . some five verse Icelandic hymn in C.M. . . . into a two to five verse English hymn in L.M.; winner gets an acre of land and a golden watch (thought I'd throw a stab in for whoever wrote that about donations on the main page discussion).
