New Rising Star pathways starting today! 🌟

[#1]

We’re very happy to announce that we’re launching brand new ways to become a Rising Star!

Up until now, you could become a Rising Star by having five answers accepted on the community forums.

We want to acknowledge the variety of ways that members can positively contribute to our wonderful community - so we’re now broadening our Rising Star requirements to include more types of contributions!

You can now become a Rising Star in one of the following three ways:

1. EXISTING: Have 5 answers accepted

2. NEW: Post 1 article (note: you must be a Contributor to write an article) and receive 20 likes from the community

3. NEW: Start 5 discussions in one or more of our community groups and receive 20 likes from the community

Plus, in case you haven’t heard already, we launched our new Contributor ranking for members who are on their way towards Rising Star status. Join our private Contributors group for exclusive activities, article and discussion ideas, and more.

If you need a recap on all our community ranks and what it means to be a Rising Star, check out our Member Journey page. Once you’ve become a Rising Star, you’re a step closer to becoming a Community Leader! You can find out more about our Community Leader programme here.

We’re so excited to see more people becoming Rising Stars! 🌟

Dear @Angelie Stephens

Thank you so much for sharing this exciting update and for adding more ways to become a Rising Star! I’m thrilled to share that I’ve recently received the Rising Star recognition 🌟 and have already applied for the Community Leader opportunity. I’d be very glad if you could consider my application and would love to hear any updates. Looking forward to contributing even more to this wonderful community!

@Andy Gladstone I’m currently looking to connect with the community manager or someone responsible for Atlassian activities in Yerevan, Armenia as I've applied for Community Leader opportunity in my city. Would you be able to help me find the right contact or point me in the right direction as a Community Leader already?

You can tag them under my https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Community-Kudos-Feedback/Excited-to-Join-the-Atlassian-Community-Leaders-Program-in/ba-p/2908971#M2963 post as well, so that @Angelie Stephens 's post won't be spammed so much.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!
