Challenges

What can I DO on a challenge?

• Follow to show support, and get updates about what's happening in the challenge.
• Accept a challenge to get emails with updates specifically aimed at submitters.
• Enter a Submission to win a prize.
• Share with friends to help get the word out about challenges you like or believe in.

What happens when I "Follow" a challenge?

• The Follow button uses the basic idea of following that you see elsewhere online. When you follow a challenge, you'll get general information about the challenge -- for example, an email about a change to the challenge dates, or a progress report from the challenge sponsor. You're interested in learning more. You want to know what's going on.

What happens when I "Accept" a challenge?

• The Accept This Challenge button is a sort of caffeinated version of the Follow button. When you accept the challenge, you're telling us that you're probably going to enter a submission, or you're at least going to think about it. So in addition to the general emails about the challenge, you also want tips and tools for submitters. You want all the details -- even the technical stuff.

Whatever you choose, we promise you won't get a ton of email, and you can always unfollow and re-follow at any time.
