If a regional rule conflicts with this general framework, the published regional rule controls for that community and season unless it violates applicable law.
Eligibility and entry
Participants must satisfy the age, location, account, language, channel, and registration requirements in the active regional announcement. Applications must be personal, accurate, and submitted within the stated period. One person may not use duplicate or deceptive identities to gain additional entries, referrals, rewards, or ranking positions.
Eligible content
Content must be original, useful to the intended community, publicly available for the required review period, and published through the eligible channels and formats. Required mentions, hashtags, language, topic, media, disclosure, and submission deadlines are defined by the regional rules. Recycled, plagiarized, misleading, artificially inflated, unlawful, or rights-infringing content may be rejected.
AI-assisted work
Tools may assist research, editing, translation, design, or production unless a regional rule says otherwise. The participant remains responsible for accuracy, originality, rights, disclosure obligations, and meaningful human contribution. Fully automated spam, fabricated evidence, impersonation, or undisclosed manipulation that misleads reviewers is not eligible.
Evidence, scoring, and review
Only evidence received through the stated process and within the eligible window is guaranteed review. Public platform data can change or be unavailable. Automated collection may be supplemented or corrected by manual review. Published scoring criteria, quality classifications, tie-breaks, exclusions, audit snapshots, and finalization rules apply. Obvious errors may be corrected without creating a right to a particular rank.
Rewards and recognition
A reward is earned only after eligibility, evidence, final review, and any identity or payout checks are complete. Amounts, pools, caps, currencies, allocation methods, roll-down rules, and payout timing come from the regional announcement. Participants are responsible for taxes, lawful receipt, and accurate payout information. No reward is guaranteed merely by applying or publishing.
Integrity and disqualification
Grounds can include fake engagement, coordinated manipulation, plagiarism, harassment, false identity or metrics, duplicate submissions, purchased activity, botting, tampered evidence, rights violations, sanctions or legal restrictions, and interference with reviewers or systems. Action may include exclusion of a post, score adjustment, disqualification, reward withholding, access removal, or referral for further review.
Changes, cancellation, and questions
A season may be corrected, postponed, shortened, extended, suspended, or cancelled when security, platform outages, integrity, legal obligations, force majeure, or material operational issues require it. Changes should be published through the relevant official channel. Use the community page and its verified regional account for rule questions before publishing.
