In case you missed it, the deadline has been moved to January 31, 2026.

We are getting some great entries that are on the longer side. There is definitely room for some 10-20 minute quickstart/quicktip-type lessons that teach one thing very quickly. This would be good for the node-reference category for sure.

Two updates for the contest:

1) The deadline has been moved to January 16, 2026 so that no-one has to lose out on their new year's eve festivities.

2) There is now a Submission Form [docs.google.com] to fill out when you complete and publish your lesson. This will help us better organize the entries as they come in.
