{{Note|The sweepstake is over.}}
Welcome to the '''2020 Guild Wars 2 Anniversary Wiki Sweepstake'''! To celebrate the upcoming eighth anniversary of the game, the wikis are hosting sweepstakes. Find out more below!

== Duration ==
This sweepstake is open from the '''25th of August, 2020, until the 15th of September, 2020'''. Sign-up opens and closes at '''{{UTC time|19:30}}''' on the respective start and end dates.

== Prizes ==
'''60 winners will be randomly chosen''' out of the pool of eligible participants on the English wiki. Every winner will receive a 400{{gem}} gem code, distributed by each wiki's sweepstake representative after the sweepstake concludes. 
This sweepstake is sponsored by NC Interactive. The following Contribution Terms apply and can be viewed [[Guild Wars 2 Wiki:August 2020 Anniversary Sweepstake/Contribution Terms|here]]. Many thanks to our wiki liaison [[User:Stephane Lo Presti|Stéphane]] for providing us with the prize pool.

== Eligibility ==
''Every wiki user who contributes a minimum of five substantial edits during the sweepstake time frame is eligible to enter the raffle.''

== Rules ==
'''Update 2020/09/11: The rules have been updated and are highlighted in red.'''
#Only users with a [[Special:CreateAccount|wiki account]] can participate in this sweepstake. To sign up, you need to add your account name to the list at the end of this page.
#To be eligible for the '''raffle prizes''', a minimum of '''5 substantial edits''' is required.
#You may only enter the sweepstake with one account per wiki. Multiple entries with additional accounts will be disregarded, and you will be disqualified.
#'''Please note that due to legal constraints, wiki editors residing in Belgium, Italy, Spain, and Sweden are not able to participate in this sweepstake. We are deeply sorry.'''

== Which Edits Qualify, Which Do Not? ==
#Edits have to be a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_is_an_article%3F#Namespace mainspace] contribution (for example, (re-)writing guides, creating new pages and templates, and fleshing out existing articles).
#Uploading images counts. '''5 images equal one edit of 100 characters.'''
#Changes to user pages do not count.
#While appreciated, small edits (such as fixing typos, formatting, and/or adding interwikis and similar infobox values) and maintenance work (like flagging pages for deletion) do not qualify for this sweepstake.
#As a guideline, edits should count more than 100 characters (including spaces) (~roughly 20 words or 100 bytes).
