Qrazy Authors Contest Rules
The Qrazy Authors Contest is designed to reward users who create interesting, useful, and high-quality content. Every month, the best authors receive cash prizes and internal Qrazy Points.
1. General Provisions
Participation in the contest is free and automatically available to all registered users of qrazy.net.
By publishing content on the platform, the user automatically becomes a participant in the contest and agrees to these Rules.
2. Contest Purpose
Our goal is to build a community where people share knowledge, experiences, stories, ideas, and meaningful discussions. The contest encourages authors to create content that is genuinely valuable, engaging, and enjoyable to read.
Any original publication that complies with the platform rules may participate, including:
- real-life stories;
- tips and life hacks;
- questions;
- discussions;
- personal opinions;
- scientific hypotheses;
- theories;
- philosophical thoughts;
- recipes;
- analytical articles;
- and any other interesting original content.
There is no "correct" topic. A fascinating life story, a unique scientific theory, or even a great cooking recipe can become the winning publication if the community genuinely appreciates it.
3. Contest Period
The contest is held every calendar month.
All publications posted between the first and the last day of the month automatically participate.
Winners are announced during the first weekend of the following month after the results have been verified.
4. Prizes

5. Eligible Content
Publications from all categories of the platform are eligible, including:
- Questions
- Discussions
- Theories
- Debates
- Polls
- Opinions
- Stories
- and all other platform categories.
Every publication must comply with the platform rules and applicable laws.
6. How Winners Are Determined
Winners are selected automatically using Qrazy's internal publication ranking algorithm. The algorithm evaluates multiple quality indicators rather than relying on a single metric.
Primary Ranking Factors
- Meaningful community discussions.
- Number of unique users participating in the discussion.
- Comments and replies.
- User reactions.
- Real page views.
- Overall quality and presentation of the publication.
- Originality of the content.
- Reading time.
- Read completion rate.
- Repeat visits.
- Bookmarks and saves.
- New followers gained after publication.
- Author's publishing consistency.
- Other internal engagement metrics.
Different factors have different weights. For example, meaningful discussion is considered much more important than page views alone.
The ranking system is designed to reward quality and genuine community engagement rather than simply publishing a large number of posts.
7. What Does Not Improve Ranking
The following activities do not provide an advantage:
- publishing a large number of short posts;
- posting repetitive content;
- artificially increasing page views;
- asking users to react or vote;
- reaction exchange groups;
- coordinated commenting between related accounts.
8. Prohibited Activities
To ensure a fair competition, any attempt to artificially influence the contest results is strictly prohibited.
- artificially increasing page views;
- manipulating reactions or votes;
- manipulating comments;
- using bots or automated software;
- using multiple accounts;
- purchasing engagement or traffic;
