# Oshi Points & Leaderboard

## In one sentence

Oshi Points are the reward points an AnimeOshi user earns for rating episodes, writing reviews, completing challenges, and participating in the community, and the Leaderboard is the ranked list of users by the Oshi Points they have accumulated.

## Overview

Oshi Points are AnimeOshi's gamification layer, a single running score that rewards the activity that makes the platform useful, above all, keeping your Oshi Diary by rating and reviewing the episodes you watch. They exist to recognize the fans who do the work of building credible per-episode signals and to give returning fans a visible measure of their contribution on the platform. The Leaderboard turns those points into standings, ranking users against one another on profiles and on each anime's detail page.

## Details

### How you earn Oshi Points

You earn Oshi Points through participation on the platform. The leaderboard runs on your reputation points; the more you contribute, the higher you climb.

* Rating episodes (the core activity); earn points for your score, your rating, and any attributes, tags, or reviews you add.
* Writing Episode Reviews and Series Reviews.
* Completing challenges, such as the Weekly Rating Challenge.
* Participating in the community and campaigns, fan art, comments, polls, playlists, and guild activity.

### Where points and the Leaderboard appear

Oshi Points and the Leaderboard surface in a few consistent places:

| Surface                  | What you see                                                       |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **User profile**         | A user's total Oshi Points, shown alongside their stats and badges |
| **Anime detail sidebar** | An "Overall Ranking" panel listing the top users by Oshi Points    |

The points figure on a profile and the ranking in the sidebar draw on the same Oshi Points total.

### How the Leaderboard is ordered

The Leaderboard ranks users by their Oshi Points total; more points mean a higher position on the leaderboard. For certain campaigns, higher-ranked fans on the leaderboard have a chance to win exclusive prizes.
