SCP-9000 Contest Hub
STRUCTURES
- A: Everything in this world is governed and confined by structures, whether physical or immaterial.
- B: Nothing is permanent. There is no structure in this world that will not, one day, return to dust.
CONSTRUCTS
- A: Everything that is meaningful can be broken down into base elements to be categorized, explained, and made ordinary.
- B: Nothing is absolute. Even the mundane and well understood can give rise to undiscovered mystery.
PATTERNS
- A: Everything is accounted for in the grand score of the universe, from its very first motions to its final, dying breath.
- B: Nothing is inevitable. There will always be an exception to the rule, an outlier that dares to break the cycle.

ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Post your entry to the site with the url '9000contest<yourusername>' with your site user name in place of <yourusername.> For example, if a user named TroyL were to post an entry it would have the url 9000contesttroyl. This page must be posted by you (or, if it is a collaboration, one of the collaborators).
2. Title your article with the format of `SCP-9000 — TITLE`. Make sure that you use an em-dash
3. Add the tag "9000" to your entry so it shows up on this page.
— Do not post before posting opens; this will result in a disqualification! —
4. Post your top five slot selections (excluding the 9000), in descending order if applicable, in the comment section of your article. Failure to do so may result in losing your place in the queue and your article being assigned an arbitrary placement. Note: if you make any changes to your slot selections, you must contact a member of the contest team as soon as possible for us to recognize the change. If you do not receive a response within 24 hours, please contact Naepic about the change. Failure to do so may result in your changes not being honored. Additionally, slot changes made within 24 hours before the end of the voting period will not be honored.
NOTE: The SCP-9999 slot will not be available for this contest. Do not include it in your slot selections.
TAGGING:
As previously stated, adding the tag "9000" to your entry will cause it to show up on this page. We encourage you to also tag your entries yourself if you feel comfortable with doing so. To make the whole process smoother, we have Laymen's Tagging Guide and a list of all current tags. Please make sure to consult these when self-tagging, they're great resources!
— Do not add the "scp" tag yourself! This must be performed by a member of the tagging team! —
If you have any questions, feel free to ask anyone in the tagging subteam for assistance, either via Wikidot PM or on MAST's official Discord server.
RULES:
- Be kind to others. Unsporting conduct will not be tolerated and can lead to disqualification of your entry.
- Placing is based on net vote total, in descending order. The prize for winning the contest will be your entry having the SCP-9000 slot. Runners-up get to choose other slots in the new Series in order of place of finish.
- Voting should be based on the merits of the article alone, not whether or not you believe it deserves to win the contest. Voting on a piece based on your desire to see it win or lose the contest is grounds for disqualification.
- Only one entry is allowed per user. Collaborations are allowed, but that will count as the one entry for all collaborators.
- Pre-existing drafts are allowed, so long as they have never been posted to the wiki.
- You are permitted to edit your article, but not wholly replace it. Although you are allowed to add and remove sections to your article, ultimately the central idea of your article should remain the same. This also means that any edits that would comprehensively replace or overwrite your original work will be prohibited. In the case of having an article with planned updates or something similar that we have seen in prior contests, contestants need to provide the finished product to contest marshals first. Any delayed posting updates should occur within the posting period. This is to help ensure that contestants are given the freedom to be creative with their works while at the same time preventing the possibility of some contestants being able to obtain "additional time" to work on their entry after the end of the posting period. The only edits allowed after the posting period are minor ones. If unsure over whether an edit would violate these terms, please consult a contest marshal.
- Contest entries will undergo normal deletion processes.
- ‘Structures’, 'Constructs', and 'Patterns' shall all be interpreted very broadly. So long as you can explain how your work relates to one of the three themes as a concept, in any interpretation, it'll likely be accepted. You are free to interpret the theme as a single theme or pick between them individually - your entry does not strictly need to fit all three at once. The theme is here to inspire, not constrain. If you're not sure if it'll count, feel free to ask one of the contest marshals listed below.
- If your contest submission includes images, we strongly encourage you to have
Naepic review them, either on Wikidot or on the official Discord. This is to ensure a quick review of their usability and ensure that no user wastes time working with copyrighted images. It also saves time having to track down authors after the posting period.
- There will be no extensions.
- 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 with the possibility of further disciplinary action being taken depending upon the act in question. Examples of shenanigans include, but are in not limited to:
- Downvoting all of your competitors' work within minutes of posting.
- Spamming other users with messages concerning your work.
- Spurring Malicious Upvoting/Downvoting, whether on your work or anyone else's.
- The contest marshals for the SCP-9000 contest are
Modulum,
syuzhet, and
sugarush. As stated above, if you have questions concerning the contest, feel free to reach out to them or another Community Outreach team member. The contest marshals will have the ability to disqualify entries for violations of the above-listed rules, egregiously poor sportsmanship not otherwise enumerated, or failure to fit the theme. All decisions are appealable to the contest marshals.
Special thanks to syuzhet, the instigator.
