Summer Contest 2020
Hello, everyone! We're pleased to annouce the beginning of the third contest of the Italian Branch, the Summer Contest 2020. It's a bit different from the previous ones, and we hope you all enjoy the novelties we're bringing you! Without further ado, let's move on to the rules:
Rules:
- There's no mandatory theme in this contest: instead, the staff will give writers and groups three random tags chosen among the "attributive tags" associated with Foundation pages. The participants will have to write an SCP entry or a tale based on those tags. Contact an admin or a mod in the Discord chat or via private message on Wikidot to request the tags.
- When the tags will be disclosed, you may replace them with three other random tags twice at most.
- If some tags are completely irreconcilable, you may request one be replaced randomly. This may be done twice at most.
- Your entry must be set in the IT fictional universe.
- All types of entries - both main list ones and joke ones - are allowed, as well as tales.
- You may participate either alone or in a group.
- Every user may be part of one group only.
- You may participate with more than one entry (in that case, write “it-summer-contest-2020<username><entry number>”).
- The entries which won't be included among the "Participants" before the end of the contest won't count.
- The jury will consist of eleven users who won't participate in the contest, chosen between staff and regular users. They will be selected after the end of the writing phase and will pick the contest winner taking into account the users' poll as well.
- The winner will be exhibited in the website home page, in the IT newspaper and on the IT social media accounts. Moreover, some additional, little surprise might be coming!
Dates:
Start: 15th June 2020
End: 4th August 2020 at 20:00
Winner Nomination: 7th 9th August 2020 at 12:00
How to Participate:
To participate in the contest, contact the staff to receive the random tags. Once your work is done, post a new page titled “summer-contest-2020<username>”, where <username> must be replaced with your Wikidot username. Afterwards, once published, you may rename it by clicking on "Rename" at the bottom right, so as to display the desired title in the table. In case you're part of a group, specify the name of the person designated group leader. The rest of the participating users must be listed in a comment to the page.
The entry doesn't have to be fully reviewed or approved to participate in the contest, but a honed work will be better-regarded than one which wasn't fully revised.
After posting the page, add the "it-summer-contest-2020" tag and contact a staff member, who will proceed to put the link into this page.

Top 5 Entries

#3: "The Obsidian Butterfly" by C0S0
#4: "Ötzi's Cloak" by Dr Vulpes

Bear in mind that only the winning entry is entitled to immediate publishing. Therefore, all the other entries in lower positions must be sent back to the IT forum for reworking and improving. However, we suggest Krampus go back to the forum as well, because we noticed some tiny language and tone mistakes.
