== Overview ==
The '''monthly contest''' is a recurring points-based contest hosted by [https://onlinesequencer.net/members/2740 Kirbyderp]. It was launched in September 2018 alongside other limited events as a part of a "beta test". During the beta test period, both monthly contests and limited events would award "OS points" to the Grand Leaderboard. But as of 2019, limited events no longer award OS points, leaving the monthly contest as the only event to use the Grand Leaderboard.

Every month, a forum thread is posted to announce the theme for the month. Unless stated otherwise, the submission period for the monthly contest begins on the 1st of the month and ends on the 21st of the month at 11:59 PM EST.

*Making a remix of an existing song is allowed.
*Editing an entry after the entry period is strictly prohibited and will result in that entry being disqualified.
*Collaborations on entries are allowed, but any points the piece might receive are divided up equally between the contributors.
*The standard Online Sequencer Rules will apply and any entries violating a rule will automatically be disqualified.
===Voting===
After the submission period has ended, the voting process begins. The Event Committee members decide the winners of the monthly contests. The staff votes for three entries that best fit the theme of the contest.
