The Featured Bio Contest is an opportunity to recognize our existing members as well as to inspire prospective members to examine our group and join in on the fun. Furthermore, the contest endeavors to encourage current members to explore the SB118 Wiki and learn more about their fellow members and the adventures others have been having across the fleet.
Overview
Each month, the Featured Bio Contest Team reviews nominated character biographical wiki articles and selects those that meet the contest's minimum selection criteria to be showcased as Featured Nominees.
At the end of the month, one winning article will be selected from these Featured Nominees to become the Featured Bio of StarBase 118 on both the SB118 main page and through the Newsies, Reporter, and Publicity Teams. In addition, both Featured Nominees and Featured Bio winners are granted use of special badges that they can then add to their bios.
