+# Requests

+## How we prioritize contributions and requests
+Our team reviews all request, evaluating them for the following:
+- Clarity
+- Relevance
+- Feasibility
+
+Based on the evaluation, we determine the priority of each request and allocate resources accordingly. We prioritize requests that are clear, relevant, and can be completed in a reasonable amount of time. **All examples request should be made as early as possible. For larger examples, this should be at least two months in advance of the requied date.** An accompanying high quality PR increases the chance we can address the request.
+
+Please note that some requests, such as bug fixes and security issues, take priority over new code examples. Additionally, we have finite resources and our own priorities that guide the development of code examples. If you have any questions or would like to contribute, please refer to our [contribution guide](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).

 ## Tributaries
 
 The AWS Documentation includes source code examples from several additional sources. These sources are called tributaries, flowing into the "river" of AWS Documentation.
