The sun is bright, the air is warm, it's summertime! (anyone see where I got that from? :P) It's finally summer and the wiki is ready to swim into high gear! To celebrate this soon to be amazing summer, we have TONS of events planned for us all to enjoy this summer! Recently I posted a preview telling you a little bit about the summer events (video is above). Now I'm going to lay it all down for you!

Summer Day Specials
As we thought and thought about how we would do the summer events, at the summer event planning sessions and admin meetings, we soon came to the conclusion that we wanted an event to keep users excited everyday! So the summer day specials were born! The summer day specials are special mini events that will occur almost everyday from July to September. Each special will be a fun mini activity for you to do. So ya know, if your bored on the wiki one day, just come over, check the current day special and participate! It's really fun! A schedule for the summer day specials will be released very soon. But for now, I can only announce the first one which be two days:

Fourth of July

Mini profile decorating contest!

July 4th-5th

That will be the very first. It's simple, just decorate your profile with a Fourth of July theme! The admins and event committee will quickly decide a winner and announce it!

Schedule for the summer day specials coming very soon!

Austin & Ally Wiki Awards
Yes it's happening! OMG YES IT'S HAPPENING! If any of you know me, I'm a huge fanboy, and this is something I'd fanboy about! The Austin & Ally Wiki is having it's first ever awards! This idea was presented a whole lot at the summer event planning session so the admins thought, hm, why not! For these awards, you will be able to choose nominees and then vote. The categories will be broken into divisions: Character Division, Cast Division, Episode Division, Wiki Division, User Division, Pairing Division, and Song Division! Like the summer day specials, this event will last all summer except it is definitely not a mini event.

The awards will begin with choosing nominees which will start very soon. Like very as in it could start tomorrow or even tomorrow. So, are you excited?

Fan Art Contest
The fan art contest is back! Last summer we hosted a huge fan art contest and it was a huge success! So like many people suggested at the summer event planning session. We are bringing it back! It will be the same as last year except we might add a bit more. This will start later in the summer.

To see all of last year's fan art submissions, go here.

Wiki Podcast
And lastly, I want to quickly announce our upcoming wiki podcast! A podcast is basically a series of audio talk shows. Kind of like a radio show except it's not on the radio and it's split into episodes. These podcasts will be hosted by the admins and will talk about different Austin & Ally topics! And YOU can also be featured! In each episode, we will have different users from all over the wiki speaking! All you have to do is email us and we'll tell you what topics you can cover. Right now we are developing the first episode so we will not be taking submissions yet. But once we get the series up and running we will!

EX: You can see an example of what the podcast will be like here.

And that's what's coming up this summer! Can't wait!
