+
+### Guidelines
+
+When making a submission...
+
+- Make sure you are clear and concise
+- Link the contributor, using either their username on platform they originally posted from. If in doubt, use any handle you find
+- Try not to use emojis to help it easier to read
+- If there are multiple sources, use the
+  `[[1]](LINK) [[2]](LINK)` format
+- Use **bold** and _italics_ sparringly
+
+For example:
+
+- [@pawlean](https://www.twitter.com/paulienuh) hosted [a community event in Paris.](https://guild.host/gitpod)
+- [@axonasif](https://www.twitter.com/axonasif) created several new contributions to `gitpod-samples` [[1]](https://github.com/gitpod-samples) [[2]](https://github.com/gitpod-samples)
+- [@ghostdevv](https://twitter.com/onlyspaceghost) supported the [**exciting meet-up in London**](https://twitter.com/onlyspaceghost/status/1691560381116752161)!
