3 tips to win a Contra Challenge from someone who already won 3 🏆
1️⃣ Guidelines are your Bible 🤝🏼 If they ask for a link and a photo, include both. Not just text. Not just a visual without context. Make it easy to say yes.
2️⃣ Only post when your entry is ready. ✅
3️⃣ The entries that won for me weren’t the ones where I tried to “hack” the theme. They were the ones that felt strong, clear, and fun to create. That confidence shows! ⚡️
Don't be afraid to participate if the challenge is about a tool you have 0 experience with, try it, play with it and have fun!
This is your sign to participate, especially the #FigmaMakeathon with the $100k prize pool.
Worst case? You learn a new tool.
