I love contests that test my knowledge on various subjects.

Art contests are definitely my strongest choice in terms of something i might win at, but my favorite thing to enter are actually raffles

Everything's up front, known, and all you have to do is buy a ticket and maybe you win a surprise later that perks your day up xP low energy fun.

I dunno what a contest would be for an auction wolf. Like, do you mean bidding on an auction? I suppose that could be considered a contest. It feels more like normal sales stuff to me though.

I prefer to bid on currency than wolves. Currency stays in my bank account until it's spent. Wolves age out very quickly and are easy to find an equivalent unless they're really something truly special.
