'''Competitions''' are numerous in the Rebel Squadrons, but rarely do they affect all members. For this reason the [[Operations Office]] (or some other entity) should oversee an ongoing set of RS-wide competitions in which all members can participate and earn significant rewards. This will both boost activity and increase quality by inspiring members to better their contributions.

== Examples ==
Possibilities abound. At this very moment [http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/news/read?id=970 "The Logistics Office Needs Planet Names"] is happening--as an added bonus, why not award a lower-tier medal for each planet name that is accepted? Or award [[RS-wide merits]] (though that system is not yet in place)? This is one of the chief reasons that the [[Medals]] system was revamped: to allow for rewards to be used in this way.

There should likely be no less than three ongoing competitions at any given time. They can range from a single day to a month or two, or a "first correct answer is the winner" format. Consider several of the possibilities of these competitions:

* "Name that quote from SW" -- first winner
* "Design best new logo for Logistics Office" -- two weeks
* "Find best YouTube video involving podracing" -- one week, prizes awarded for 1st through 3rd places
* "Best short story about a mishap involving Kaz, Sair, and a Tusken raider, under 1000 words" -- two weeks
* "Best suggestion for improving RS website" -- one week
* "Best pun on the word 'bantha'" -- one week
* "Name that planet" (with descriptions given by LO as hints) -- first winner
And so on! Clearly there are many, many competitions -- "create best competition"! -- that can be given, but we are not doing it. A drive should be made by the leadership to advertise these and reward winners with good medals, along with recognition in SotRSs, etc.

== Summary ==

If, however, we connect the competitions to RS-wide medals, and RS-wide recognition, there should be enough demand to get it off the ground.
