For our next challenge, let’s embark on a healthy competition and celebrate multiple types of engagement here in the forum!
At the risk of taking a theme / metaphor too far, given that it’s World Bee Day this month (on May 20th), let’s celebrate the buzzing knowledge-sharing “hive mind” of this community with a variety of different awards for the many types of participation that make this community as sweet as honey. After all, bees are builders too! (Or, maybe I ran out of theme ideas and went with Oprah's approach 
)
What will this challenge focus on? As some of you may know, we have a points-system for recognition called Tooltips. We’ll base our challenge on participation actions that also earn you ToolTips added to your profile, accumulated throughout all time. For the next 25 days, we invite you to pick one or more of the below accolades you’d like to aim for! At the end of the month, we’ll grant badges associated with each honor, and give you a shout out here for all to appreciate! We’ll also send you swag if you earn any of these 
When? This challenge runs May 6-31 (yes, any Tooltips earned yesterday and today already count!).
Who? Anyone with a Retool community forum login can participate! 
:Throughout the month, keep an eye on this May Challenge Leaderboard for the latest buzz and to see your fellow hive builders' progress! (also linking Global Leaderboard for reference)
Shoutout to @pyrrho who is already at the top spot this week, @bobthebear in second place, and @Cole_Diffin in third!
