How does the growers of the month contest work? how do you even compete?

Could you say I helped you by upvoting this comment? Maybe I'll win GROWER OF THE MONTH.

I looks like the previous question was answered by a second account to see if you can answer your own questions and win :)

i would just adjust : when you get a point ( for selected answer to question with diary attached to it ) you are enrolled automatically, no need to "pre-join" in event page. rat race, sometimes fun, sometimes not.

You answer questions like this one. But this question won’t count for a point because the question needs to be tied to a diary. The moment someone selects my answer as a solution I automatically get pooled into the contest. You initially have to join the contest and confirm your credentials and contact info like any other contest. But after that, all you have to do is answer people’s questions to compete. Then subsequently your answer needs to be selected by the person who asked the question to get the point. Again only questions tied to a diary count for points. I don’t play. It’s too much drama and people finger pointing at other people and accusations of cheating. I withdraw when I see I’m in the list.
