# Toolbox Contest 2024

We are looking for new and exciting tools from the community for the [CheckMates Toolbox](https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/CheckMates-Toolbox/ct-p/CheckMatesToolbox) that we look forward to sharing with everyone!

A submission to our Toolbox typically consists of a description of the tool, which can either be shell script, an expert-shell oneline command, or a Cloud Deployment template. If not a oneliner, your submission should either be a script attached to the entry.

Your entry must be labeled that corresponds to one of our Toolbox categories, which are:

- SmartEvent
- Scripts (which includes oneliners)
- SmartConsole Extensions
- Cloud Deployment
- Automation and APIs
- Telemetry
- SmartTasks

Not sure what to submit? Take a look at these submissions which were nominated for Contribution of the Year as part of our annual CheckMates Fest event:

All valid submissions will be eventually moved to the CheckMates toolbox. In addition, we will award random submissions with $50 gift cards and $300 gift cards to the best 3 submissions as judged by the CheckMates team. Good luck and we can't wait to share what you've developed!
