+The [[Online Sequencer Event Committee]] hosts a variety of official events, all of which can be found under the events category on the [[Forums|forum]].
 == Monthly Contest ==
+The monthly contest is a recurring points-based contest hosted by [https://onlinesequencer.net/members/2740 Kirbyderp]. 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.
+=== Guidelines ===
+Except in special cases, the guidelines for the monthly contest consist of the following:
+* Entry limit of 2 sequences per person.
+* Committee members are allowed to enter the contests, but will not enter their example sequence nor will they vote for their own entry.
+* Sequences made prior to the current Monthly Contest are allowed, although entering the same sequence in different Monthly Contests is not.
+* 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 that 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. Winners of the monthly contests are decided by the Event Committee members. The staff votes for three entries that best fit the theme of the contest.
+=== Points ===
+Contestants are awarded "OS Points" depending on how they placed that month, which is shown in the table below. OS Points are then added to the Grand Leaderboard.

+As of January 6th, 2022, contestants have the option to out of receiving OS Points via this forum thread [https://onlinesequencer.net/forum/thread-6439.html here]. If a contestant wishes to opt back in to recieving OS Points, they may do so.
+=== Rewards ===
+At the end of the year, three winners are determined based on the total amount of OS points they have accrued over the entire year. Winners are placed in the Contest Winner [[Forums#Group Memberships|display group]], which provides them with a yellow name and a trophy badge next to it. Previous monthly contest winners can be found [https://onlinesequencer.net/forum/thread-3009.html here].
