Asalam o Alaikum,
We have created four forums under tab UrduWorld to conduct Urdu World's official contests, these are:
Official Contest Forums
1. Poetry Contests
2. Writing Contests
3. Designing Contests
4. Other Contests
(I am happy to create 2-4 more categories for contest types so let me know what other categories you may wish to have there).
Contest Thread Prefixes
Each of above forums will have a set of thread prefixes these prefixes are:
1. Open
2. Closed
3. Voting
4. Result
Contest Threads
For any contest there administration team will create three threads.
Thread 1: When they start the contest thread prefix will be Open. Once contest is closed thread prefix will be changed to Closed and Thread get closed. Contest thread will remain STICKY till it is open, when closed it will also get unsticky.
Thread 2: After a contest thread is closed a Voting thread will be created in same forum, to begin the voting/poll. At the end of poll, thread with poll will be closed.
Thread 3: To announce the winner a new thread will be created with Thread prefix of Result, and announce the winner of the contest, this thread will remain open.
Contest Forum Access Rights
1. In Contest forums only 3 user groups can create new contest threads, all other users groups will able to view and reply in contest threads.
2. For Poll all users groups will able to vote except Guests/Not Registered users.
Contest Announcements
When a Contest is created in Contest section, an announcement thread can be and in some cases must be created in related forum. For example if a contest for designer is started for the month of June. There will be two threads, one is the actual contest thread which will be in Designing Contest forum, and there will be another announcement thread in Artwork Forum in that announcement thread you will post the link of actual contest thread in contest forum.
If needed forum admin/team leader may also decide to create an announcement for specific forum to attract users to specific contest.
Future Official Contests @ Urdu World Forum
With immediate effect, from now on, all future contest will be and will only be conducted in above mentioned contest forums. Which means there will be no poetry contest in poets section or Ghazal section or for that matter any other such section. Instead it will be held in Contest area.
Current Official Contests @ Urdu World Forum
There are different contess going on currently, and there is no need to move those contests in Contest forum, but where possible get the votting/results announced in contest forum. But future contests should be in newly created contest forum only.
If I missed any important point please do let me know, if you have any other idea to improve it further feel free to shout.
Wa.Salam
