For each objective that the user completes, they receive 1 entry into the drawing for the grand prize of 100 Steam games. (4 objectives*7prize periods = 28 possible entries per user)
Furthermore, for each 48 hour period that the user completes at least 1 objective, they have a chance of winning the top 5 games on their Steam wishlist.
Each individual objective will reward 5 winners. (4 objectives*5winners = 20 winners per 48 hours)
The grand prize of 100 games will be rewarded to 3 users who have completed any 10 objectives during the entire contest.
The games in which these objectives are based are also on sale for the same 48 hour period in which the objectives are activated.

Another week, another Steam promotion! This may be the biggest yet.
There's a chance to win 5 Steam games every 48 hours, with a grand prize of 100 Steam games on December 20th.
I'm not a member of any other forums where this contest is particularly interesting and I couldn't find any current threads about it. As I've enjoyed so much of TeamLiquid.net since I 're-discovered' eSports earlier this year that I thought I'd try and contribute something, even if it's not much.
I'll try to keep this thread updated as often as possible during the contest period; my apologies for any formatting errors, spelling mistakes, content fuck-ups, etc.
Note: I'm not affiliated with Steam or Valve to any degree.
