Hey guys,
Just wanted to make a
quick little MASSIVE announcement to point out the awesome contests and giveaways that we are running at the moment

Who doesn't love a good giveaway? Who doesn't love getting something for their efforts and expertise? Well then, we have the goods for you!
Right now, we currently have four active competitions/giveaways running and one coming up soon (not to mention a few other surprises

) All of which are giving away a total of 150+ Million NP in prizes!!! We also have a new Userbar/Rank Bar contest in which you can win some $ for your efforts!
Ok, so, we're looking at introducing some new ranks around the site with various additions of new sections/awards. As you can see, our current ranks/userbars above are pretty sweet but we need additional ones. However, seeing as the fellow who made them seems to be rather inactive lately, we have decided to open up the opportunity for the rest of you to show us your hand at creating a set based on the guidelines set out in the
contest thread. There are some pretty good prizes to go with 1st, 2nd and 3rd places too. Who doesn't love to be paid for their time and efforts in creating a masterpiece? Well, good news for you! We are offering $25, $15 and $10 to the first three placings respectively. Rules and Guidelines for the contest are listed in the OP of the thread.

J.B. Elephant Shoono is running our annual Great Neocodex Scavenger Hunt! Get on over to the thread found here for your chance at 25 million NP in prizes!!! This has always been a great source of fun for the forum and is a great way to get to know your fellow Codexians and what they look like (providing they enter with their actual face).
For starters, we are currently having our
Annual Advent Calendar giveaway, which is being ran by our very own
Jebuiz y'Scot! Head on over and check it out and put your name down for a chance at a cool prize! If you wish to add to the donations pool and give back to the community this festive season, please feel free to PM Scot, he'll gladly accept any donation you wish to make.

Come and check this tournament out and sign up for the opportunity at some choice prizes!
