As a QC (Qualified Contributor), one of the perks is the chance to qualify for a gift every quarter (or every 3 months)!

Every 3 months, the top 50 Contributors will receive prizes based on their positions on the Community Page’s Awesome Contributors leaderboard!

The prizes will be broken down into 3 tiers based on ranking, including a bonus tier for the top 3 Contributors each month. (Please note that this is separate from the annual QC gift.)

There are four quarters in a year, and thus four times a year you can qualify for the quarterly gift:

  • Spring Quarter: January 1 – March 31
  • Summer Quarter: April 1 – June 30
  • Fall Quarter: July 1 – September 30
  • Winter Quarter: October 1 – December 31

Here’s a breakdown of the tiers and the rewards:

Bonus Tier

Top 3 (Monthly)*

Tier 1

Top 1–15 (Quarterly)

Tier 2

Top 16–30 (Quarterly)

Tier 3

Top 31–50 (Quarterly)

*At the end of each month, the Top 3 users will qualify for the bonus tier. However, if you rank in the Top 3 more than once within a quarter (3-month period), you will not be eligible to win again until the following quarter. This will ensure that there will always be a total of 9 unique users who will receive the bonus prize within each quarter.
