Hello all you HP staffers! I am but a humble writer asking you to PLEASE start a new contest! I think it is great for the site, promotes web traffic and encourages writers to create quality content. PLEASE?
Contests are fun and motivating, but I'm sure that they take lots of time to organize and run. I don't expect that the HP staff are ready to set up a new contest so soon after the March one! Another contest in the future would be nice, though.
That is true, I wish there were a way for the community to start contests that the HP staff could promote somewhere so the majority of writers could see the contest and partake in it.
Kathleen, since it is poetry month have you tried either Frank Atanacio's or Sunny River's poetry challenge?
I didnt do their challenge, I found it hard to keep track of all the pieces everyone contributed, so I made my own poetry hub which I know you read because you left a lovely comment at the end
Hopefully May will bring in some new challenges, I thrive off challenges!
I know that it is hard to keep track of Frank's but Sunny's is just for fun. You pick a theme from a list and write a poem.
If you like a challenge to get you motivated, why not try the 30 hubs in 30 days challenge? Its not officially by HP but it could really help.
I like the 30 in 30 challenge, because I love challenges lol, but I would really like a community based challenge that helps me grow my HP network

A Contest will provide friendly competition that will boost creativity. I am not sure how many people need this creative boost as much as I do but I am pretty sure many of us will appreciate the contest.

We had three or four HP contests last year. This year, I don't think there has been one yet. I know one was cancelled.The contests challenged me to write. Therefore I say, bring them back!

A few months ago a contest was announced that it would be approaching, and then put off.. The last contest I remember was the review a product contest, and I remember winning one of the daily prizes. I would prefer a new contest, as on top of my busy writing schedule already, eventually I will run...

I just sent this off to "Team HubPages in an email. What do you think?Good job breaking up the vertical sites to be more specific. I think it will work. I have an idea for writers to run by you. I have always been a fan of challenges among the writers here. Sometimes, the HP team steps in with...

Does Hubpages send a notification email when they are having a contest, or do I need to watch the blog to find out about them? How frequently do they happen?Thanks!

I'm always confused by the hubmobs and contests. I understand that they are different things. There is hubmob, who all attack a given subject; there are contests, which run for a specific amount of time. Sometimes the two run together, when a contest is run and the hubmobbers...
