General Information

Periodically, users of HymnWiki may wish to host a contest. To do so, go to the HymnWiki forum for contests. Make sure you register with Nabble, if you haven't done so (it's free). Then, make a post, state your contest name or whatever in your subject, and state the terms of your contest in the body of your post. All contests should be related to HymnWiki and should be designed to promote its use and content.
