# Announcing POAP Rewards for Top Contributors! We at OpenZeppelin are lucky to have such an amazing community of contributors. (That's you!) Developers benefit greatly from your help. ## The League of Elite Contributors To recognize the amazing job that community members are doing, we now offer a monthly reward system. At the end of each month, our moderators will give unique POAPs to those who go above and beyond. ## How You Can Win ### Answer Questions Leave the forum a better place whenever you visit. The most helpful thing you can do is solve a problem faced by a fellow developer. Read through the recent posts and see if you can help in one of these ways: - **Give them the answer.** Doing so will help others in the future who get blocked by similar problems. - **Point them in the right direction**. Has someone (here or elsewhere) else solved a similar conundrum? - **Point them in a better direction**. Even if you don’t know the full solution, some skillful Googling can make all the difference. - **Ask important questions**. Sometimes a problem feels overwhelming because it’s a monolith. Asking better questions helps break things down into solvable pieces. ### Stay Within Scope - **Keep things focused**. This forum is the ideal place for questions and support focused on OpenZeppelin Contracts and Defender. If you notice a post that deals with a different product or service, consider directing the OP elsewhere. - **Keep things clean**. Flag posts that are inappropriate. - **Keep things specific**. When you have a question, it is useful to share code snippets. - **Keep things clear**. Ask for context and clarity when you see vague or poorly worded posts. - **Keep things fresh**. You can [request a new tutorial](https://forum.openzeppelin.com/t/guides-and-tutorials-requests/838/8) if you would like a new guide/tutorial to be created. ### Share Appreciation and Give Due Credit - **Follow the plot**. Before posting, see whether a similar question has already been asked. If so, and you find a solution there, be sure to click the post’s heart symbol to award it a like! Feel free to contribute your situation details if that might be helpful to someone in the future who is facing a related issue. - **Say thanks.** When someone answers your question, flag their post as the solution. - **Give props**. Anytime you see a post that adds value, click the heart. - **Show the way.** If you see someone ask a question that has been answered in the past, post a link that directs them to the solution. That helps them and it helps anyone else who happens to arrive at that post via web search. ## Monthly Awards At the end of each month, forum moderators will give awards in the form of POAPs to winners in the following categories: Most Questions Answered ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/zeppelin/original/2X/9/9c0cd32fb056e10c6ca8d009d7fde41cb3d36369.png) Awards given to the top three contributors who receive the highest count of Questions Answered each month Most Helpful Tutorial ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/zeppelin/original/2X/d/dcc95f7462b56282db2283e5f0b09dd209bc9dfa.png) Award given to the person who posts the highest quality original instructional content. Think guides, walkthroughs, and tutorials showing an interesting use case for OpenZeppelin Contracts and Defender. Most Upvoted ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/zeppelin/original/2X/f/f17d091768351f5b48dfa576e8c51bd13349c872.png) Awards bestowed to top three contributors for receiving the most likes/upvotes (total) in a given month. Forum moderators will award each category every month. For awards based on monthly totals, these reset each month; if you didn't win last month, keep at it! If you see other ways of adding value to the forum (such as creating your own FAQs for questions you see asked a lot), just go for it. Be creative. ## The League of Elite Contributors Hall of Fame At least half the fun of a POAP is people knowing you have it—so we’ve got you covered. We also maintain a [Hall of Fame page](https://forum.openzeppelin.com/t/top-contributors-hall-of-fame/29434) to showcase awardees by forum user ID. Think of it as a leaderboard. So, that’s the deal. Now, show us what you’ve got. ---
