Tasks

- Start new topic on the forum in the best matching section. Make sure you’re in the proper sub-governance, if necessary. Describe your idea. Take care of the text formatting and structure. Use past successfully performed contests as an example or refer to that guide.
- Submit your contest proposal as a PDF file by using the corresponding form on https://gov.freeton.org/ . Under “submission link” provide the link to the FreeTON forum thread containing your contest proposal.
- Stay cool while waiting for voting results
Voting
- Each of the initial juror of the main FreeTON sub-governance can vote on your submission. Jurors whose team(s) intend to participate in this contest by providing submissions lose their right to vote in this contest.
- Each juror will vote by rating each submission on a scale of 0 to 10 or can choose to reject it if it does not meet requirements above, or they can choose to abstain from voting if they feel unqualified to judge.
- Jurors will provide professional feedback on your submissions.
- Duplicate, sub par, incomplete or inappropriate submissions will be rejected.
- Works rated with less than 5.00 average points will be excluded from the reward list due to low quality. Not allocated rewards remain on the giver account.
Thirty top rated works will be rewarded as follows
1st prize…………………7,500 TONs
2nd prize…………………6,250 TONs
3rd prize……………………5,000 TONs
4th prize………………………3,750 TONs
5th prize…………………………2,500 TONs
6-10th prize………………………1250 TONs each
11-20th prize……………………….500 TONs each
21-30th prize…………………………100 TONs each
Total: 37250 TONs
An amount equal to X% of the total contest budget awarded to winners will be divided equally between all jurors who vote and provide feedback. Both voting and feedback are mandatory in order to collect this reward.
X = number of adequate, unique and not spam-like submissions x 0,15
Example #1:
Number of Jurors: 14
Works submitted: 139
Reward factor: X = 139 x 0,15 = 20,85
Jurors total reward: 37250 / 100 x 20,85 ≈ 7767
Reward a Juror: 7767/ 14 ≈ 555
Example #2:
Number of Jurors: 21
Works submitted: 81
Reward factor: X = 81 x 0,15 = 12,15
Jurors total reward: 37250 / 100 x 12,15 ≈ 4526
Reward a Juror: 4526 / 21 ≈ 216
Procedural reminders to all contestants
