 We have a bug bounty of sorts for PRs, outlined in the readme
 
 If you're thinking about creating submitting a new environment, please contact us first. There's a very small number of things that we'd like to add in the main PettingZoo repo that we haven't already done.

@@ -42,3 +43,24 @@ To use it you first need to have _Make_ installed on your local machine:
 - Windows: `choco install make` (https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/make)
 
 Then `make help` should give all the available commands and you can use `Tab` when writing the command if it's too long to write. For example to run all the tests, one would write `make test-all`.
+
+## Contributing tutorials
+Tutorials are a crucial way to help people learn how to use PettingZoo and we greatly appreciate any contributions. However, we have a few guidelines for tutorials:
+
+### Tutorial content
+- Tutorials should be written in single .py scripts with clear comments explaining the code and thought process with a naive user in mind.
+- Tutorials should be within their own directory within `/tutorials/`, with the directory name being the tutorial theme.
+- Tutorials should come with their own **fully versioned** `requirements.txt` file that minimally lists all required dependencies needed to run all .py scripts within the directory.
+- The `requirements.txt` file should include `pettingzoo`, fixed to the current release (eg. `pettingzoo==1.22.0`).
+
+### Adding your tutorials to the docs
+- Create the directory `/docs/tutorials/<TUTORIAL_THEME>`.
+- You should make a `.md` file for each tutorial within the above directory.
+- Each `.md` file should have an "Environment Setup" section and a "Code" section. The title should be of the format `<TUTORIAL_THEME>: <TUTORIAL_TOPIC>`.
+- The Environment Setup section should reference the `requirements.txt` file you created using `literalinclude`.
+- The Code section should reference the `.py` file you created using `literalinclude`. 
+- `/docs/index.md` should be modified to include every new tutorial.
+
+### Testing your tutorial
+- Tutorial themes should be added to `.github/workflows/linux-tutorials-test.yml`, by adding the theme name to the `tutorial` part of the `matrix`.
+- When making a pull request, tests for the newly added tutorials should run. We cannot accept any tutorials that fail any tests, though we can provide assistance in debugging errors - feel free to reach out for advice at any stage!
