How to enter
You are automatically entered in the contest simply by editing pages, creating new pages, adding C# source code examples, or answering questions on C# Online.NET Forums.
How to win
A winning strategy might be to pick a particular section to work on and develop over the month. Both the C# Language Reference and the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) need further development. For example, you might decide to beef up our C# Code Snippets. Or, you might want to create a comprehensive section on C# generics. Perhaps you would like to contribute a few articles on topics that interest you for our C# Articles. If you, also, know the Java language, you might want to develop C# for Java Developers further.
However you choose to participate in creating the World's best C# encyclopedia, follow the Contributors Guide and be sure your edits fit in with the general style of the site and of the particular section you edit. And, remember: it is quality that matters. Quanity comes into the equation only if the quality is there.
Good luck!
