Submissions are now open for week 8 of SGL!

Last week was one of our biggest week's can we top it in week 8? Well I am really looking forward to seeing what you all have in store for us this week, lets get this show on the road!

Communities Choice

Remember you can now be the Communities Choice judge, all you need to do is find an entry you think deserves to win. Vote it, leave a comment saying why you think it deserves to win and ensure that post remains the highest promoted payout post.

To clarify this does not go on the overall post value, it only looks at the amount of promotion value - so a post promoted to 10 sonic wont rank as highly as a post with 50. Also anyone can vote and leave a comment it's completely open to everyone who wants to get involved, you can promote a post from the time it is submitted all the way through to the end of the judging window!

So why not give it a go, we have so many awesome entries and unfortunately they can't all win - even when it feels like they all deserve to. So we added the Communities Choice to try and help everyone get to spread the love around and really help support our brilliant community.

So again this week I wanted to mention the tags just so everyone is on the same page, there are only two tags your post must include in order to be valid entries. However, there are several other tags you can feel free to use, but may have some specific requirements to work for those tags.

Tag's required to have a valid entry in SGL:

Discord

If you haven't already, please consider joining the SGL discord server , we will now be using it as a method of announcing open and closing times for the contest. This includes the judge's window and early announcement of the weekly winners!

This is not only a place to go to find out when things are happening, it is also a place we want to see start having some things to do there. We will be hosting a variety of mini-contests, karaoke nights, games nights, random SONIC giveaways for people actively chatting in rooms.

There is really so much in the works, you really will be missing out if you don't jump in. This is also the perfect place to go so you can ask any questions you may have, talk about entries from the week or even just come along for a hangout. This is your community, it's up to you to get involved and to help make it all it can be. Yes, we're even open to suggestions, so please drop by say hi and see what's happening!
