I also noticed that some Formlabs people are being counted in this, but that seems kind of strange considering it’s their job to contribute ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/3X/2/3/23a67006d3c5f193980f65e6646e58e514953f42.jpeg) ---

They probably won’t be included in the actual prize giving so whoever is next most likely will get it ---

Hey @br4n_d0n good catch! I can 100% guarantee no Formlabs folks (or ‘Formlings’ as we call ourselves : )) will get a prize - they’re reserved for you all. As we get our new Rewards program up and running, we’re ironing out the last kinks (like how to exclude all staff on the Leaderboard) and we should be all set now. Thanks for the ping! Looks like @leonhart88 , @charger_01 and yourself are currently top 3! With @Andreasemilsson, @LEADNAV, @MattRForerunner and @SMute close behind - this quarter ends March 31! Good luck everyone! ---

Thanks for the reply @verdugod! The plush looks cool and is what I’d be going for followed by the hat. ---

Do you join the competition just by… like being on the forum? Or do I have to do something special? Time limitations will mean that I probably can’t get many points, but I don’t mind trying to be more involved to get into at least the random drawing. ---

It seems to be as long as you participate in using the forums you get points and are entered. [How You Earn Points](https://forum.formlabs.com/t/introducing-formlabs-forum-rewards/43835#p-129307-how-you-earn-points-2) ---
