🏆 Digital Freedom Contest: Clarifications and Submissions We are glad to provide clarifications regarding the numerous similar questions we received: Q: How many videos can be submitted? A: You can submit multiple videos across different platforms – e.g., 3 separate videos for X and 2 for TikTok – or one video for each qualifying platform (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat or X), provided each separate video gained at least 10,000 views. Videos that gained fewer than 10,000 views will not be accepted for the competition and will not be eligible for a share of the prize fund. Note: Videos we deem low-quality or suspect of having generated non-organic views will be excluded. Q: When will submissions open, and how can I send my video(s)? A: We will post a separate message in this channel in the coming days, once @ContestBot begins accepting submissions. You will have at least several days to submit your work, so do not worry – you will not miss it. Note: @ContestBot is the only tool you will use to submit your work. Q: I'm worried that my video will be stolen and submitted by someone else. A: You must include your Telegram @username in the caption of the video on the external platform. This username must match the @username of the account from which you will submit the video. Videos that does not have a proper @username caption, will be discarded from the evaluation.
