Many chances to win rupees, ranks, market items, and much much more! If you are currently running a contest on NS2 post a link to it here and we will gladly add it to the list. If you have a suggestion for a contest feel free to post it there can never be enough suggestions! One thing though is please do not suggest a prize. The contest staff will assign appropriate prizes for each contest.

In this thread you will find all the contests on NS2. They will be split into continuous and events. Some contests will have ranks as rewards but have not yet been finalized. Also to let you guys know Camp Star is coming back and will run for the whole month of December. Sign ups will be starting on November 17 and last until the 23.

With out further adieu here are the contests on Nsider2!

Please post a link to the contest so I can add it in.

Thanks ^_^

Sounds like a good plan to get more activity.
So, will most of these new plans be taking place after the Market Upgrade?

most likely, because most have rupee prizes,
