Frequently Asked Questions
Just a few minutes. Educators create a competition, choose engagement options (like voting, comments, judge ratings, or monetary support), and decide if it stays classroom-only or connects to a larger group competition.
Educators invite Students to submit entries, and can also share the link with families, community members, and professionals. These participants may request to join as Judges or Partners, but Educators approve every request.
Educators stay in control. Every Judge, Partner, and comment must be approved by the educator. Comments are only visible once approved, ensuring a safe and supportive experience.
