Introduction

January's competition has now closed. The winners will be announced soon. February's competition page is here.

If you contribute any new code, or solutions to problems in the following categories, please add your content (that you write for a Forum or Blog) to TechNet Wiki, and then add a link to your TechNet Wiki article below, to let us know.  This is a TechNet Wiki awards program, so we only want WIKI LINKS for articles created in January 2020, not old, external forum or gallery links. If you have already made a contribution  on the forums or gallery, simply copy it into the wiki and reference the original article, like shown here.

One winner in each category will be selected each month for glory and adoration by the MSDN/TechNet Ninjas and community as a whole. This includes a dedicated blog post in the Wiki Ninjas blog, a tweet from the Wiki Ninjas Twitter account, an announcement on your forum, and other acknowledgement from the community. 

Winners will be voted on by 5 judges. The judges consist of 3 TechNet Wiki Community Council members and 2 Microsoft Employee SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) and/or MVPs. The judges will be looking for articles that are thorough, technically accurate, visually clear (images might help, but aren't necessary), and well written. (Any community member can help with the "technically accurate" part by reviewing the articles below and either fixing inaccuracies in the article or commenting  on them--asking questions or suggesting fixes.)

The articles must be written in January 2020, must be in English and article should be related to Microsoft product only**.** However, the original blog or forum content can be from before January 2020.  Make sure you aren't taking credit for someone else's content (you have to be the original author of the original content and the Wiki article). The categories listed are targeted to the most popular forums/technologies and ones that we are able to support. We will add more categories as we go (please don't add more categories, instead, leave a comment at the bottom to suggest a new category).

How to Enter

1. Create a new TechNet Wiki Article

YOU CAN COPY YOUR CONTRIBUTION FROM MSDN/TECHNET FORUMS OVER TO TECHNET WIKI (IN January 2020) TO QUALIFY FOR THESE AWARDS.

You can also create a new article not related to your forums contributions. 

Steps

  1. Log into TechNet/MSDN with your Microsoft credentials
  2.  Add your content as an article to TechNet Wiki: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/add.aspx%20  

If you are copying and pasting your MSDN/TechNet forum solutions over to TechNet Wiki, please give some introduction to the problem, make sure your steps are clear, and then link to the original forum post. You can also paste in your blog posts (rather than forum content).

2. Tell us about it

To add a link to your article:

  1.  Log into TechNet with your Microsoft credentials
  2. Click the "Edit" tab, above this article title, and copy in the URL  to your TechNet Wiki article into the appropriate section.

 

Note

Do NOT add your article candidate into the COMMENTS section.

Your article will NOT participate in the competition as the judging tool can only detect articles in the body of this article, not in the comments.

Make sure to add the link IN THE ARTICLE, in the sections below.
