Happened to me, just last week. One day I logged in and saw the big orange label under my avatar.
I THINK it automatically comes with a number of "best answers" in a Yahoo Answers category. For over a year, I had participated in YA by just answering questions from the top of the home page, in no particular category. One week, I decided to concentrate on the Drawing and Painting forum and soon, there I was, a "top contributor."

Lots of answers in the category, with a certain number of Best Answers for them (latest rumor says 45 answers in 30 days & 10% BA, but the exact formula is the Yamster's secret and changes from time to time!). The Yamster himself explains all about it at this blog:

Well.... you can cheat by posting answers to questions that no one else has answered to beef-up your percentage of "best answers" but then you're missing the point. Just participate and have fun and maybe use a nice subtle avatar like mine that people will remember. :-)
