You have to be No 2 of the wiki and also have more useful edits than any other user. And as you may have read on the blog post there are other criteria which qualify users to become a bureaucrat. We are still quite at the beginning, in one week only a rollback will be appointed and three months after a chat moderator. The really hot phase won't begin before the second half of this year and we don't know how much users then have entered this wiki and are also serious competition to you and other users who are on the top of the contest at the moment. That's also a reason why this contest lasts that long.
