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.

The '''monthly contest''' is a recurring points-based contest hosted by [https://onlinesequencer.net/members/2740 Kirbyderp]. It was launched in September of 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.

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].
