No, you don't lose any points for running a contest. I shall reconfigure your noobiness, since only three active users joined before me. :D

You start with 100 points for joining this year. You lose.... 10 for making a signature on your own, but then gain 5 for stuffing up the coding a couple of times xD. Then you lose 20 for using the IRC and lose another 10 for making a lot of blogs. And you WILL lose 50 when you reach 1000 edits.

So you're on 65 noob points.
