The models people love most, the makers who give the most, and every community winner so far. Winners are picked by the numbers, automatically, every Monday and on the 1st of the month.
At the end of each week and month the site adds up a Community Score for every model that got attention: likes, downloads, people commenting, and adds to other people's repositories. The top score wins, if it has a few likes behind it.
Liking your own model counts for nothing. Likes from brand-new devices count for less, and a pile of likes landing in one hour gets damped. New work gets a small bonus, and last period's winner a small handicap, so wins get spread around.
A badge on your profile, points to sponsor models, a post in the Discord and a winner's role there. Milestone badges come by themselves too: first share, likes, downloads, followers and more.
