And with that, DEPARTMENTCON2022 comes to a quiet, celebratory close. In the near-two months this contest ran, we got 165 entries from 42 teams, of which 23 teams and their 124 entries ended up qualifying for victory. An incredible showing, by any margin — the biggest contest the wiki has ever had, in fact, by a margin of 20 entries (shoutout Jamcon 2020). Thank you to every single person who participated, whether you were able to qualify or just post, or even if you never posted and just read some of the fantastic entries (seriously, take it from someone who read all of them - they're great.). This is the first contest I've run on the site, and you guys and your insane, wacky departments made it one to remember.
