You can nominate yourself or someone else who has done splendid contributions to MDN for an MDN Star Badge. Please include the person's profile, and explanation of why their contribution is splendid (with links), as well as your own username.

Users who receive the MDN Star Badge will also be vouched on Mozillians.org, the directory of Mozillians.

MDN Contributor of the Month

Each month we will feature one MDN Contributor on the "about:community" blog and MDN social media channels. The Contributor of the Month may be selected from the nominees for the MDN Star badge during the preceding month, during the first MDN Community meeting of each month.

An MDN Contributor of the Month will be recognized in the weekly Mozilla project meeting as a "Friend of Mozilla", and in MDN social media channels.
