EDIT 12/22: Deadline extended to January 2.
こんにちは、みんなさん！ Hello, everyone!
2006 has been an absolutely amazing year here at Bulbagarden. With the debate over the new dub voice actors, the launch of Diamond and Pearl, two server moves, and everything else, things have never been busier.
We're getting into the spirit of the holiday season (or perhaps spirits in the case of Mozz when he's drunk), and to show our appreciation for your continued support of us, we've decided to run a special raffle to reward members for their continued contributions to the site.
So no one gets left out, we'll be offering a number of ways for people to earn entry tickets for the raffle. In addition to the following, we might give out a few tickets at random, or to people who do something special, so try your best!
How to enter:
* Anyone who enters the soon-to-be-announced Winter Art Contest will receive a ticket. The grand prize winner of the contest will receive five (5) tickets.
* Anyone who creates a new, suitably themed skin for the forums (Winter, Christmas, New Year's, or something along those lines. Valentine's Day isn't too long away, so that'll work, too.) will earn three (3) tickets. You'll need to do both the colour scheme and the images for it.
* You can also make a themed skin which doesn't fit into those above guidelines, like an Ash or Brock one, but that's only worth two (2) tickets.
* People who create significant new articles on Bulbapedia (not stubs) or make significant contributions to an existing article will get a ticket for each, pending approval of the editorial board. You'll only be counted once for each article, though, no matter how many times you edit it. Please keep a log of your eligible contributions on your userpage and post a message on [bp=User talk:Archaic]Archaic's talk page[/bp] to notify him of your interest in the raffle.
* If you submit an article to Bulbanews using the New Article Assistant, you can earn two (2) tickets. You'll earn an extra entry or two if your article is able to be put straight up without any significant changes by our editors. As with the Bulbapedia entries, please keep a log on your userpage of your eligible contributions and post a message on Argy's talk page to notify her of your interest in the raffle.
* Finally, anyone who donates money to Bulbagarden in our [bp=Site support]winter fundraiser[/bp] will earn his or herself a ticket for every $1 (U.S.) donated.
Restrictions:
* Without making a donation you can earn a maximum of 20 tickets. However, anyone who donates $1 (U.S.) or more has no limit on the amount of tickets he or she can possibly earn.
* Bulbagarden staff are not eligible.
How to win:
Bulbagarden staff will keep a record of how many tickets each member has received. On January 2, 2007, a random drawing of all tickets will be held. The winner will then be notified by private message or e-mail and will be asked to provide his or her contact information.
Prizes:
* The winner of the art contest will receive a Pokémon 2007 wall calendar featuring original Pokémon art.
* The overall winner of the raffle will receive any item(s) of his or her choice up to $30 (U.S.) from PokémonCenter.com.
