Season pass is a series of contests where, with exception of the flash fiction tournament, everyone is given the themes and contest rules ahead of time. This allows authors to prepare for stories well in advance. Top 5 participants of each contest receive a season pass score, which will be updated from month to month. And to account for the possibility of someone not being able to participate in all contests, the final score of every participant will consist only of their 5 best results. So skipping one of the contests should not prevent you from winning the season if your other 5 contest results were great!
At the end of the season pass, a Season Pass Champion will be crowned!
I’d like to make a style suggestion, could we please emphasize the theme of the contest a bit more? That way there won’t be any confusion between the title of the contest and the theme stories need to meet.

Good idea. Does it pop out better now?
I think it does help. I normally would use color, but bold and underlined should do the job. Thank you
While our original plan was to keep the contests running as normal as long as we could, that seems no longer feasible.
With activity dying down in light of the forum shutdown interest in contests seems to fall as well.
In accordance with @RapeU's announcement here, all planned upcoming contests for the July-December 2026 season, and the community contest are cancelled.
There might be a final contest before November, but it is not yet decided.
