Getting Started

Participant Guide

Everything you need to know to create an account, log in, and compete — from start to finish.

Step 1

Create an Account

  • 1.Click "Sign In" in the navigation bar at the top of any page.
  • 2.Select "Create a new account" and enter your email address and a secure password.
  • 3.Choose a display name for your account. A display name is required — accounts without one will be denied from creation until a name is entered. Your display name must also be distinct from your email address; names that are identical or closely similar to your email will not be accepted.
  • 4.Verify your email address by clicking the link sent to your inbox.
  • 5.Your account is ready. You may use it for all future competitions.

Step 2

Log In & Join a Competition

  • 1.Visit the Competition page to view the current active season and its prompt.
  • 2.No application is required — simply being logged in is sufficient to participate.
  • 3.Read the prompt carefully and familiarise yourself with the grading rubric on the About page.
  • 4.You may begin writing immediately. The submission window lasts 40 days.

Step 3

Prepare Your Submission

  • 1.Write your creative response to the prompt. There is no minimum or maximum word count stated, but length should serve the work.
  • 2.Format your document as a Microsoft Word file (.docx) or PDF (.pdf). No other formats are accepted. Maximum file size is 20MB.
  • 3.Ensure your document contains only your original work. AI-generated content and plagiarism are strictly prohibited and will be automatically scanned and manually reviewed.
  • 4.Do not embed any executable code, scripts, macros, or malicious content in your file. Uploading files containing malware or viruses is a bannable offence.
  • 5.Give your document a clear, descriptive file name.

Step 4

Upload Your Submission

  • 1.Navigate to the Submit page (accessible while logged in during an active competition).
  • 2.Upload your file using the file upload button. Only one file may be uploaded per submission.
  • 3.Your first submission may be uploaded at any time before the deadline.
  • 4.You may resubmit once every 24 hours. Each resubmission permanently deletes your previous file — only your most recent upload will be graded.
  • 5.All files are automatically scanned for malware, viruses, AI-generated content, and plagiarism upon upload.

Step 5

Integrity Review Process

  • 1.Once the submission deadline passes, a co-host will manually review every submission for signs of AI-generated content or plagiarism.
  • 2.This manual review must be completed in full before judges are granted access to any submission.
  • 3.Any submission flagged during this review will be clearly marked, and the assigned judge will be notified of the concern before grading.
  • 4.Submissions that are clearly in violation may be disqualified at this stage without proceeding to judging.

Step 6

After the Submission Deadline

  • 1.Once the co-host integrity review is complete, submissions are passed to human judges.
  • 2.The judging period may take several weeks depending on the volume of submissions.
  • 3.You will receive a private feedback document containing your score breakdown and written commentary from the judges.
  • 4.Access your feedback at any time from your Profile page.
