How to score
Challenge pointsANY TIME · JULY 14–31 · 1 PT EACH
There's one big list of challenges — it's below. No schedule, no daily assignments. Any video, any challenge, any point in the month.
- ☐Your video meets a challenge's requirements? Mark the relevant boxes when you upload it to the portal. That's the whole claim process.
- ☐Each box you mark is worth 1 point.
- ☑One video can hit several challenges at once — one point for each.
- ☐Challenges are optional. But points don't earn themselves.
Staff will be spot-checking videos to make sure they do meet the qualifications. If you falsely mark a video as having completed a challenge when it does not, we will be very mad at you and likely deduct points.

The challenges
The whole list, live all month. At any point, if your video meets any of these, mark the box when you upload it — each one it meets is worth 1 point. The list is final unless it isn't.
JUL 14 — challenges begin/ JUL 29, MIDNIGHT — judge submissions due/ JUL 31 — final tally, award ceremony
Fine print, such as it is: challenges only count for videos uploaded to the portal with the challenge boxes marked. Judges' decisions are final. Categories may be added mid-month. If you prank someone, you are responsible for cleanup. Questions → message keltan.
