The Curator Test helps us ensure that the most powerful lyrics contributions are coming from the most experienced contributors. It gives access to the mission system and rewarded contributions, and so it's essential that it functions in a controlled and measured way.

This is why you may occasionally see the test showing as closed.

This means that the mission system for your language is currently full and so not open to new applicants.

When exactly the test is unlocked again will depend on the specific situation of your language's mission list. As soon as the list is ready for new contributors, the test will be re-opened, and you'll be able to take and pass it to claim your place in the missions.

In the meantime, you'll remain able to hone your contribution skills and guideline knowledge, through your website contributions. This will help you ensure that, once the test is open, you'll be able to gain and keep your Curator status for many albums to come!
