[Registration Closed] Hosting a Private Contest: The Snow Cup

How many times have I thought that since I started writing on note?

I want to win a contest. I want to be featured in a spotlight article. I want to be like that person.

In the vast ocean of note, I felt like a single grain of sand on the seafloor, watching creators who shone like glittering fish. By studying writing and reading many notes, I am grateful to have had some of my work recognized little by little.

But behind that, there are also many things that were not chosen.

How can I get chosen?
To find out, I thought I would first stand on the side of the chooser. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I wanted to know what kind of thoughts the organizers of a contest have, and how works are submitted. I wanted to learn that.

This is the first reason.

And the second reason.

I feel very fortunate to have people who say they like what I write and who support me. Thank you to everyone who always supports me.

I wanted to give back in some way the revenue I received from selling paid notes and from support.

The third reason.

I saw a note from someone who, like me, wrote, "I want to be chosen just once." I understood that feeling all too well. Looking at past contests, it is common for the same people to win repeatedly.

Official contests with many participants have limited winners. However, I thought that if a small account like mine held a private contest, the hurdle would be lower and it would be easier for many people to win.

I have always wanted to write #ContestWinner in my profile, and I have been very envious of those who do.

The fourth reason.

It is about gaining experience. If the center exam is the real deal, there are also mock exams, and national tests, and so on... What I want to hold is an exam within a single local cram school.

Before taking on a big contest, I thought it would be good to practice basic things like "meeting the submission requirements" in a very small contest.

There are currently two contests being held. Please use this as practice for them.

A bonus fifth reason.

Next month marks my one-year anniversary of starting note.
Also, I started a membership in November. This is to commemorate that.

For the reasons mentioned above, I have decided to host a private contest. I shouldn't make the introduction too long, so here is the contest overview.

Since this is my first time hosting a contest, I'm sure there will be some shortcomings. If you have any feedback, please contact me via "Creator Inquiries" rather than the comment section.

I look forward to your participation.

[Notice]
I launched a membership in November.
This contest serves as a commemorative cup for that.

How did it actually go, hosting a contest?
I plan to reflect on that within the membership.

I would appreciate your support with that as well.
