FAQ

Diplomas are published in the participant’s personal account after the competition results have been finalized. You can only download the diploma from the child’s personal account. To do this, you need to log in either under the child’s credentials or the representative’s credentials.

In the child’s personal account, click the “Diplomas” icon to display all available diplomas (located at the bottom of the page).

If a representative has multiple children, you need to access each child’s personal account separately and download each child’s diploma individually.

Diplomas are published only for completed competitions where results have been finalized. Check the release date of your diploma in the Rules of the specific competition in the “Competitions” section. Different competitions have different diploma release dates.

If you accidentally posted a non-competition entry, your work was not entered into a contest. Consequently, no diploma will be issued. Competition entries must be submitted via the competition section, and each entry is labeled “Participated in the competition” with a voting button.

In the “Diplomas” section of the child’s personal account, select the diploma that needs editing. Click “Edit” and make any changes or add any data in the “Teacher” or “School” field as you want them to appear on the diploma.

After making changes, download the updated diploma again.

Only one diploma is issued per competition, regardless of the number of entries submitted. The diploma’s status is determined by the highest rating of any of the entries. For example, if you submit 10 entries for one competition and one of them makes it to the finals, you’ll receive a “finalist” diploma (not a “participant” one).

You will receive one diploma per competition. If you participate in three competitions, you will receive three diplomas.

Prizes are awarded to winners in competitions that specifically include prizes in their rules. Information about prizes can be found in the rules of each competition by clicking the “Rules” button.

At the organizers’ discretion, prizes may be changed or additional prizes may be awarded to certain participants. If a competition includes prizes, they are awarded after the diplomas are published. The organizers will send information about the timing and procedure for delivering prizes to the representative’s email within 15 days after the diplomas are issued.

Information about the type of prizes can be found in the competition rules. If the prizes are certificates, they will be sent to the child’s representative’s email.

Winners receive diplomas with the corresponding honorary status, and a medal icon is assigned to their entry. When people visit your profile, they’ll see your high-quality submissions.

The winning entry is published in the competition results. Winners’ works are listed under “Winners” in the search filter in the general feed of works.

Winners and finalists are determined solely based on the jury’s evaluations. Our platform’s mission is not to select the “best” but to give children a free opportunity to showcase their creativity in a competition format and to encourage the development of their talents.

Usually, prizes are awarded to the winners only in those competitions where they are specified in the competition rules. Prizes may not be included in all competitions.

Each competition and each work is evaluated by several independent jury members specializing in different fields. The evaluation of each work is based on the overall average score of all jury members.

If a participant has multiple entries in one competition, the scores are not combined. Each entry is evaluated separately, and the diploma reflects the status of the entry with the highest score.

Factors that may influence the evaluation of a work:

1. How well the work matches the competition theme, category, and format (photo/video).
2. Compliance with the rules and criteria stated in each specific competition.
3. The quality of the photo or video and sound. It’s difficult for the jury to accurately evaluate an online entry with low-quality images or sound.
4. The aesthetic quality of the image or video.
5. Having a title for the work and a brief description. Clear and meaningful comments about the work: how, when, and with what materials it was created, etc.
6. The number of works the participant has in this area, to understand the level, independence, and experience.
7. Additional information about the participant in their profile (interests, hobbies, experience, etc.).
