2. CWS Events
At CWS, we have regular events to engage members, inspire creativity, and motivate language creation. This article gives you an overview of what these are! Most events are run for one month in the year (with the exception of LotM) and require you to join the relevant clan*. But don't worry, we give you heaps of warning!The annual events are run by CWS staff, and there is generally planned to be one event every second month; we don't want to overload you!
*All members by default are joined in the LotM clan - however you can opt out if you wish.
Most events are designed to help you with your conlang building: such as the Lexember and Gramuary events, or encourage you to use the language either in writing (CoWriMo) or as part of something culturally significant to your language speakers' culture (ConDesign).
If you have ideas for some events that CWS can run, feel free to submit a detailed suggestion report and we'll consider the idea. If we go ahead with it, you might even be able to run it!
[top]LotM (monthly)
 | Language of the Month When: Every calendar month Run by: @LotM Bot |
On the first of the month before, we open up the floor to nominations. This is a chance for members to nominate languages that have caught their eye, or that they simply love for whatever reason. Around mid month, nominations close, and the languages that are nominated are put up for a vote. The winner is the language with the most votes by the end of the month.

[top]Gramuary (annual)
 | Gramuary When: January Run by: @Gramuary Bot |
Gramuary is a bridge between the progression of Lexember (creating vocabulary) and CoWriMo (actually using your conlang). We set discussion topics throughout the month to inspire and motivate you to develop your conlangs grammar more in depth. This is an opportunity to discuss grammatical structures, seek opinions or help, or simply to test the flexibility of your language.
Each Gramuary topic will include a number of challenges in three difficulty levels.

 | CoWriMo When: February Run by: @CoWriMo Bot |
We set regular goals throughout the month so that we can track progress. There have been some pretty interesting articles so far for CoWrimo!

[top]Lexember (annual)
 | Lexember When: December Run by: @Lexember Bot |
Each day during December will have a theme for which you will need to create a word (or more!) related to this theme, and post it to that day's thread. Some members get creative and create images with sample sentences, but creating words is the primary goal!
