Writing Contest | FAQ for the First "GBase Technical Article" Writing Contest
As 2022 begins, General Data Technology's first "GBase Technical Article" writing contest is in full swing. Our editor checked the "GBase Contest" tag on the modb.pro community and found 23 technical articles already published, but fewer than 10 submissions were received via our backend. Many bloggers still have questions about the contest. This article collects common issues encountered during the submission process and provides answers to help you better understand the rules. Only bloggers who register through our backend are eligible to win the grand prize. We welcome all bloggers to submit their articles for a chance to win JD.com E-gift cards worth up to 1,000 yuan and other great prizes!
Q1: How do I know my submission is successful?
A1: Submission involves two steps. Step 1: Publish an original technical article on the modb.pro community (https://www.modb.pro) that meets the contest requirements. Step 2: On the GBASE WeChat official account, type "Contribute" and click the submission link that appears. Fill out and submit the submission form to complete your entry.
Special note: Many participants think publishing an article on modb.pro is enough and forget the submission step. Without completing the submission process, our review team cannot confirm your participation. So be sure to register via the backend!
Scan the QR code to follow the GBASE WeChat official account, send the word "Contribute", and tap the submission link that appears to enter.
Q2: Can an author have multiple articles shortlisted?
A2: Each author may submit multiple articles, but at most two can be shortlisted and considered for the participation award and the Excellent Article selection (you cannot win both). Participation awards are based on the number of shortlisted works. One shortlisted article earns a minimum JD.com E-gift card of 50 yuan; two shortlisted articles earn at least 100 yuan. GBase certified learners who have two articles shortlisted can also receive an additional 100-yuan voucher for training certificates.
Q3: When will I know if my article is shortlisted?
A3: Preliminary reviews of the previous month's submissions are conducted at the beginning of each month. The first review period will begin after the Chinese New Year holiday. Check the preliminary results by typing "Preliminary Review" in the GBASE WeChat official account after February 15.
Q4: How can I see all contest entries?
A4: On the modb.pro community, browse or search the "GBase Contest" tag page to view all submitted articles.

Q5: I just started learning GBase and can't write in-depth technical articles. Should I feel embarrassed to participate?
A5: We always encourage GBase learners to write and share their study notes and related articles based on their own experience while learning, promoting knowledge exchange around domestic databases. All GBase students are welcome to join the contest. Even if your articles are not shortlisted, you can still get a 100-yuan certificate voucher (redeemable for a paper certificate).
Publish original technical articles with GBase in the title and tags on the modb.pro community. Each article earns 20 points. When an article reaches 100 pageviews, you earn an extra 5 points, up to a maximum of 50 points per article. If you publish 2–5 articles before March 30, 2022, and accumulate 100 points, you can contact Trainer Shen to request a 100-yuan voucher for a paper certificate.
