More of this below can be find in POST #1 of this thread.

How To Enter:

1. Pick a chicken related topic. We suggest writing an article that is not already covered in our Learning Center, but is a topic that would be a good addition to one of the sections in the Learning Center.
2. See here for article/member page/coop page writing tutorial: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/953810/coop-pages-and-member-pages-tutorial-and-feedback/0_30
3. Create a well worded & detailed title. Example: “How To Raise & Process Chickens for Meat - Tips & Pictures” is much better than: “Meat Chickens”
4. Write a unique high quality article with around 750 words (more is fine as long as it is good / helpful info). It must have at least one picture relative to the subject. Bonus points if you add more pics (pictures are usually worth 1,000 words, but in this contest they are worth about 10 - 50
   
   )
5. Post a reply to this thread with a link to your completed article(s) - A maximum of THREE article submissions per member will be allowed.

Rules:

1. All articles must be posted in the Member Pages section
2. All articles must be written by you and must be unique (do not copy from other sources)
3. Sorry, articles and pages submitted to our previous contests will not count for this contest.
4. All articles must contain accurate information, and must be a minimum of 500 words (shoot for 750+), and should contain pictures relative to the subject matter
5. Please spell check your article(s)
6. BYC retains full license of articles submitted

Pick a chicken related topic.

This might be why it was asked.

Is there any chance that this could be closed at a year if we don't have 40 entries by then? We're at 22, so only about halfway there. If we keep getting entries at this pace, it could take two years to have enough. Maybe closing at 40 entries or a year, whatever comes first, is a better idea?

Maybe contest should be XX entries or one year, whichever comes first?

As a professional procrastinator I will have to think on this and see how I feel about this before commenting....
