A minimum 3 kb expansion and full article cleanup -25 points (if the article was a stub you'll only get the 25 points once)
Uploading an original photograph (no geograph or flickr photos). Each photograph has to be of a different building to get points for each. – 5 points for any subject of the county contest which is currently running, 15 points for any photograph on the hotlist.
Tackling a Core Article – 50 points
A Good Article – 200 points. Though editors can nominate an article at any time during the contest, for the points to count an article must be nominated within the three day subcontest schedule relative to that county. The points will be given on the day that the article is nominated, even if nobody can review it until days later. However, if the article is worked on and not nominated/ready for nominating by the end of the three day subcontest then the points won't count towards that subcontest and will just be added to the main scoreboard. If an editor puts in a decent effort on one article in one day and nominates before the end of the day the contest organisers will do their very best to get that article reviewed on the day or get somebody else to review it so the points can count towards that day, though expect to have to wait a day or two. As long as the nominator doesn't nominate an underdeveloped article and think they can buy more time with editing it. Naturally it is fine for people not competing in the contest to improve and submit whatever articles they want from across the West Country, but points won't be given.
All Good Articles should pass GA by the end of the Challenge to be included.
For winning a mini County contest, the winner will be rewarded with a bonus 500 points, 200 points for 2nd and 100 points for third. Winning a County contest may prove to be vital to winning the overall Challenge towards the end.
After each subcontest has concluded the winners will be announced and the points will be carried over to the main content scoreboard at the end of each set of three days.
Remember that to scoop the £10 each day it is the number of points accumulated which counts. Whoever gets the most points from 0:00 GMT to 23:59 GMT of each day wins the prize. This contest is largely about basic improvements to important articles.
