Official rules Version 1Draft
These rules are a draft. They take effect only when approved, before the contest opens.
1. Who runs this
Autumn 2026 is run by [SPONSOR_LEGAL_NAME], [SPONSOR_ADDRESS] ("Powstik"). To reach us, use the contact form at powstik.com/contact.
No purchase is needed to enter or win. Buying anything does not improve your chances.
2. Who can enter
You must be 13 or older and have a Powstik account with your birth year set.
If you are 18 or older (by birth year), you are in the Open bracket. If you are 13 to 17, you are in the Teen bracket.
Powstik staff, and people who live with them, cannot win prizes.
The contest is void where the law does not allow it.
3. How to enter
Press Join on powstik.com/pow and accept these rules. The contest runs from July 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026 (UTC).
You enter once. Entering is free and never required to use Powstik.
4. How points work
You score 10 Proof Points for each proof you log during the contest that a real person, other than you, verifies.
Open bracket only: you also score 10 points for each verified proof logged during the contest by someone who joined Powstik through your link. Each person counts for the first person whose link they used, and that never changes.
You are qualified once you have at least one verified proof of your own.
Ties are broken first by likes on your contest proofs, then by who qualified first.
Sharing is rewarded but never required. Points only ever come from verified proofs.
5. Fair play
Every proof must be your own real work. Verifiers must be real people who saw the work.
Swapping verifications, fake accounts, or paying someone to verify you will remove you from the contest. Accounts under review for this are left off the boards until the review ends.
Powstik decides on fair play. A person, not an algorithm, makes that decision.
6. Prizes
Open bracket: first place wins a MacBook Air. Places 1 to 100 each win one year of Arena.
Teen bracket: places 1 to 100 each win one year of Arena. There is no hardware prize in the Teen bracket.
Prizes cannot be swapped for cash. If a prize is not available, Powstik may give one of equal or greater value.
Winners are shown by rank only after Powstik checks their proofs. Teen winners are never named in public.
7. School prize
A school is ranked when at least 3 different students at that school are qualified. Its score is its students' own verified proofs, 10 points each.
Ties are broken by the number of qualified students, then by which school reached that number first.
The top school wins a MacBook Neo, given to the school, not a student. The school claims it through powstik.com/contact.
Schools appear on the board only as a school, country and total. No student is ever named.
8. Claiming a prize
We contact winners in the app within 14 days of the contest closing. Winners have 30 days to claim.
Teen winners need a parent or guardian to agree before a prize is given.
Winners are responsible for any taxes on their prize.
9. Your information
We use your account details only to run the contest and deliver prizes, as described in our privacy policy at powstik.com/privacy.
10. Changes
