Sorry for the late reply, but I see that @wakeupkitty picked up my slack :)

Is it finding posts that I think are epic and underappreciated?

That's it exactly! We run the contest weekly, Tues-Sunday. Check out @pifc's page, but here's this week's contest page. Maybe have a look at one of the entries to get an idea of how your entry might look. Hope to see you join us any week @theartofori :)
