Welcome to the first Tree of Life Holi contest!

This contest is similar to Halloween contest and Decemberween contest, and will run from January 24 to March 10 for Holi. It would be fun to take over the DYKs for these holidays like we did for Hallowe'en. The scope is basically any article about organisms that are related to the holiday or that are colorful. Articles about phenomena such as luminescence or iridescence are also fair game. So are any South Asian wildlife preservations, legislation, or anything interesting like that.

Contest structure

The Tree of Life Holi contest will run until 10 March 2019, with the winner announced the following week. All entrants will receive a barnstar, but the winner will receive a better barnstar.

The rules are a bit modified from Decemberween's contest, with a new system to put heavier weight on article improvement. Improving article class will be rewarded with points, with bigger improvements and higher classes rewarded more points. You can update classes of articles you improve, but please do so honestly.

• You will also get 3 points for reviewing someone else's contest GA
• There will also be a bonus system for page views
• A new and improved system for DYK/GA/FA: for an article that passes DYK it's x1.5, for GA it's x2, and for FA it's x3, on top of the point values listed in the table below. Articles that are brought to GA and then nominated for DYK do not stack bonuses, the editor only receives the bonus for GA.
• Every new image added to an article that did not have one is worth 1/2 point.
• Every manual taxobox converted to an automated taxobox is also worth 1/2 point
• If you collaborate with another editor for an article, you can each claim points
