Introduction
If you contribute any new code, or solutions to problems in the following categories, please add your content (that you write for a Forum or Blog) to TechNet Wiki, and then add
a link to your TechNet Wiki article below, to let us know.
Submissions for June are now
closed. July submissions should go
HERE. Winners are announced in
this blog post.
This is a TechNet Wiki awards program, so we only want WIKI LINKS for articles created in June, not old, external forum or gallery links. If you have
already made a contribution
on the forums or gallery, simply copy it into the wiki and reference the original article,
like shown here.
One winner in each category will be selected each month for glory and adoration by the MSDN/TechNet Ninjas and
community as a whole. This includes a dedicated blog post in the Wiki
Ninjas blog, a tweet from the Wiki Ninjas Twitter account, an announcement on your forum, and other acknowledgement from the community.
Winners will be voted on by five judges. The judges consist of 3 TechNet Wiki Community Council members and 2 Microsoft Employee SMEs (Subject Matter Experts -usually the people making the technologies). The judges will be looking for articles that are thorough,
technically accurate, visually clear (images might help, but aren't necessary), and well written. (Any community member can help with the "technically accurate" part by reviewing the articles below and either fixing inaccuracies
in the article or commenting on them--asking questions or suggesting fixes.)
The articles must be written in June 2013 and must be in English. However, the original blog or forum content can be from before June. Make sure you aren't taking credit for someone else's content (you have to
be the author of the original content and of the Wiki article). The categories listed are targeted to the most popular forums/technologies and ones that we are able to support. We will add more categories as we go (please don't add more categories,
instead, leave a comment at the bottom to suggest a new category).

Some technologies that are being considered to add for July: FIM, SQL Server Database Engine, and Excel 2013 (+ PowerPivot + Power View). Leave a comment with more suggestions!
