Entry is free
Launch challenges are free to enter. Prizes are funded by GoldMindForever or a named sponsor, and the funder is always disclosed on the challenge page.
Challenges
Fair rules, published up front.
These baseline rules apply to every GMF challenge. Individual challenges may add requirements, never remove these.
Eligibility
You need a creator account in good standing. Suspended accounts cannot enter or vote. Some challenges add category, region, or age requirements, listed on the challenge itself.
Submissions
Each challenge states a submission limit. Before submitting you must confirm the work is yours or fully cleared, that you accept that challenge's rules, and that it meets community standards.
Voting integrity
One eligible account, one vote per entry per voting period, and every vote counts as exactly one. You cannot vote for your own entry. Votes are recorded and validated server-side and kept as an auditable record. Duplicate votes are rejected, rapid automated voting is blocked, and multiple accounts voting from the same suspicious source are held for review instead of counted.
Nothing about voting is purchasable
Tokens never influence challenge votes, rankings, placements, or winner selection. Purchased tokens, paid memberships, badges, and promotional placements never add vote weight, raise an entry's score, improve placement, affect winner selection, or change merit-based rankings. There is no way to buy extra votes, extra vote weight, a higher score, or a better placement in any challenge.
Totals cannot be edited
Entry totals are always recalculated from the recorded eligible votes — nobody, including staff, can type in a different number. Any staff review of an individual vote is written to the audit log with the reviewer and the reason.
Judging
Each challenge names its method: community votes, panel judging, or a mix. Results shown before review completes are marked provisional.
Disqualification
Admins may disqualify fraudulent or ineligible entries. Every action is logged with a reason, and the creator is notified. Anti-fraud signals are never published.
Prizes
Prize details, delivery method, and timelines appear on each challenge page. GMF never guarantees followers, ranking, discovery, employment, or representation.
