<p>The wolf tears into the throat of the fawn and it dips its head back to give the wolf better access. It's never learned to fight; it's old enough now to know that innocence never pays yet still young enough to believe it will be different this time.</p><p><br/></p><p>But it never is. The wolf leaves, then comes the bear, then the fox. They all come and they all leave. The fawn is always left behind, a bleeding gaping wound.</p><p><br/></p><p>It shouldn't be hard to understand when to stop. To fight or to flee. At some point, hope becomes a sickness, rotting from the inside as the fawn is let down by people who should have protected them.</p><p><br/></p><p>The fawn grows into a deer. We are all mosaics of people we have ever loved. The deer embodies this statement in a literal sense, whittled down to a fragment after losing itself in others. A stray puzzle piece from having bite marks caved into its skin over and over. </p><p><br/></p><p>The deer should move and protect itself but it won't ever. It's too used to being prey and is it really abuse if it consents to what's happening?</p><p><br/></p><p>So it bows its head and blocks its ears. It licks its wounds clean and waits for another predator to pass by.</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
