Guide Writing Contest rules are as follows:
- Participants of all ages and from all countries may enter the contest, except those staff members of the EverQuest II Online website.
- Your EverQuest II Guide can be about any topic within EverQuest II; it can be specific in nature or general (Newbie Guide etc).
- Guides must be written in the English language. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation are taken into account.
- Original work only. You may not submit someone else's guide as yours. It?s illegal and will have serious consequences.
- Exclusive work only. To make it fair to all contestants, it must be a brand new EverQuest II guide. Your guide may not be posted on another fansite or website for public viewing.
- Guides will be judged based on content, quality, and overall usefulness.
- The nicer, the better. The more presentable a guide is, the more points it will merit. Contestants are urged to include pictures with their guide, although it?s not a requirement. In the end, the most important judging factor is well written content and not the looks.
- Your guide must be in one of the following file formats: Text Format (.txt), HTML Format (.htm, .html), Microsoft Word Format (.doc), Richtext File Format (.rtf).
- You can enter as many times as you want. Just use the same name and e-mail that you used for your previous submission. If you wish to update a guide that you entered, then just submit it again and EverQuest II staff will receive the new version.
- If your guide has separate images with it, then upload them after uploading your guide, use the same name and e-mail. GIF, JPEG, PNG, and BMP format images are the only accepted at up 1600x1200 pixels in size.
- By entering your guide, you are giving EverQuest II exclusive use of it for the EverQuest II Online website.
- Judging of entries will be done by the EverQuest II Online Team. Winners will be notified by e-mail and their names and guides posted on the main page of the EverQuest II Online website.
- Cash prizes will be paid through PayPal. If the winners do not have access to PayPal, then an alternate method of payment will be arranged.
