NEW RULES FOR PICSART CONTESTS TO ENSURE FAIR PLAY In the interest of making our contests more fair, we are announcing new rules to ensure that users compete on a level playing field. To start, the periods of submission and voting will now be separate. During submission, users can still see the entries of their peers, but voting will only take place once submission closes. Entries will be displayed in random order to ensure fair treatment for all of our users. Users can request clarification and adjust submissions that don’t comply with contest rules, but once voting begins, no more entries will be accepted. The duration of contests has also been extended, giving users ample time to perfect their entries and vote for their favorite submissions during each respective period. What are Contests About? PicsArt contests are a great way to improve your skills, have fun, and scoop up new followers. Enter different contests to test and try different skillsets, whether it’s photography, image-editing, drawing or graphic design. Contestants are featured regularly on the Daily Journal in special galleries and articles. Even if you don’t win, you can still get featured by sharing a cool pictorial or a time lapse video tutorial on how you created your entry. You can also create something so unique that it gets featured at a later time. PicsArt Monthly |65
