Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be good at art?

Absolutely not. This may be the one competition where being terrible could actually help you.

Can professional artists participate?

Yes — but professional skills do not guarantee victory. Plenty of trained artists cannot draw badly on purpose.

What can I use to create my art?

A5-size paper and any colour: pencil, paint, markers, crayons. Your work must be original. No AI, no tracing.

Where does the prize money come from?

The Weekly Prize Pool grows as more eligible entries come in — 70% of every entry fee goes straight into it.

How are winners chosen?

Every entry is scored by a mix of community voting and a judging panel — currently weighted at roughly 30% community vote and 70% judges' score. Judges look at creativity, originality, humour and sheer commitment to being gloriously terrible. Standings move all week; winners are announced every Sunday and paid after verification.

How much does it cost?

₹29 per entry.

Can I enter more than once?

Yes, absolutely — but you pay the ₹29 entry fee for every submission.

When do winners get paid?

After winner verification — see our Terms & Conditions for the full process.
