The SCP Foundation's world is vast, and full of many eclectic and niche Groups of Interest. From para-militaries to online shitposters, to pretentious artists, even one dedicated to animals — we've got it all. So this is what this contest aims to celebrate: the many GoIs that add flavor to the SCP Foundation!
Whether you're making a new one from scratch for this contest, remixing old SCPs into a GoI flavor, or going with tried and true methods, this contest asks you to form a team of no more than 3 users and write a story with whatever GoI(s) you want to use!
The Contest
You and your team will create three 3 pages minimum to qualify for the grand prize. These 3 pages are limited to:
- GoI Formats. You must have a minimum of one GoI Format per team.
- Tales
That's right! SCPs are not allowed for this contest! This is because of the theme of the contest, which is…
FOUNDATIONLESS
As long as the Foundation is not directly involved, it's good to go!
Your Team
Your team should consist of three people. You'll work together on the collection. Everyone must contribute significantly to the final product. It is expected that each team member will write at least one work.
Once the postings have been opened, you will not be allowed to add team members! Choose wisely.
After picking a team, decide on a cool name and edit this page. At the bottom, you'll find a simple form which you can use to include your new team on the page.
Being Classy
There are multiple ways to approach this project. You can get together with some of your friends, write stuff, and have lots of fun doing it—regardless of winning or losing. Or, you can write, get angry at your friends for not performing the way you want them to. You can complain about them, the rules, the contest, the judges, and hate your life.
Try to be a bit more classy. This is supposed to be a fun opportunity to add more to the site rather than make yourself upset, frustrated, or angry. People have quit over contests. You're better than that.
Dates
Team Building & Writing
26 July - 8 August 23:59 EST

Posting Period
9 August 00:00 EST - 23 August 23:59 EST
Post your team’s contest entries during this window.
Reading Period
24 August 00:00 EST - 30 August 23:59 EST
Read, rate, and celebrate everyone’s entries after posting closes.
Rules
The basic rules of the contest for the Writing Category are as follows:
Writing Category
Your team must consist of three people, all of whom must be announced. You may only be on one team. Each team will have a captain, but the individual members are responsible for posting their own work. Please pick someone who is actually around to be Captain, as all communication and questions about the contest should go through them to the organizers. Any other responsibilities the team chooses to invest in the captain should be discussed among the members of the team.
Format screws are fine. You may use one of the pre-existing formats for your chosen GoI if any exists, or you can create your own; if no format exists for the GoI, then you may create one.
A minimum of 3 articles must be written for the contest; there is no maximum number, but only the 3 highest-rated articles will count towards point total.
Teams may create hub pages for their work. However, hub pages will not count for scoring nor for the minimum article requirements.
You may not delete or edit an article once posted, regardless of performance. Articles that dip to the deletion mark will be subject to normal deletion practices, but they will not be removed until after the contest has ended. This should encourage everyone to work hard with their teams to have a superior product. What's posted is posted. Small corrections are fine, but significant edits are not.
Small corrections are defined as: fixing minor sentence wording, correcting grammar usage, changing spacing, etc. Large, substantive changes are not allowed until the contest has passed.
Each entry must be posted by its primary author. Collaborative entries between teammates are encouraged, but each author must contribute at least one 1 entry which was mainly written by them. If you rewrote someone’s work entirely, it's not really theirs anymore, and it wouldn't be fair for them to post something you spent four hours revising when they only invested ten minutes writing it. This does mean that one or two people will be writing more than one entry.
Tag all your entries with goicon-2026 or else they won't appear here!
You may enter both the Writing and Art categories. However, keep in mind that you may only submit one art piece per person in the Art category.
Any contestant who takes unusual and/or negative actions to increase their vote total, or decrease that of their competitors, will be disqualified for the involved contest and potentially banned from further contests, and possibly further disciplinary action.
Examples of Shenanigans
Examples of shenanigans include, but are in no way limited to:
- Downvoting all of your competitors' work within minutes of them being posted
- Spamming people with PMs about your work
- Spurring Malicious Upvoting/Downvoting, whether on your work or anyone else's
If you're not sure if something counts as shenanigans, then it probably does, but feel free to ask Naepic,
Uncle Nicolini, or
wackdog.
Art Category
Art Category Note: The Art Category is entered individually, not as part of the team requirement for the Writing Category.
You may enter both the Writing and Art categories, but each person may only submit one art piece. Art collaborations are permitted, but they still count toward each participating artist’s one art entry.
The basic rules of the contest for the Art Category are as follows:
Collaborations are permitted.
Art Plagiarism: Any art you post to the wiki must be compatible with the site's CC BY-SA license, for example, a CC-BY or a Public Domain license. If you trace, recreate, or heavily reference an image, it must also be compatible with this license and you must cite it. Failure to cite your sources in the above cases is grounds for disciplinary action equivalent to literary plagiarism.
Any and all mediums of art are welcome, as long as they comply with the Site's policy.
You may enter both the Writing and Art categories. However, you may only have one entry per person in the Art category.
Tag your entry with goicon-2026 or else it won't appear here!
Any contestant who takes unusual and/or negative actions to increase their vote total, or decrease that of their competitors, will be disqualified for the involved contest and potentially banned from further contests, and possibly further disciplinary action.
Examples of Shenanigans
