XploreU
Contests
Here’s where you tell us your story. Each week, XploreU and our sponsors will create new contests based on content, photo or video submissions. Contests will often be geared towards specific groups, such as experts, new members, or student ambassadors. When a contest opens, enter as soon as possible since the deadline is usually unknown to contestants.
Once the contest has closed to contestants, we release all submissions to the XU community on the contest page. XU members bid their points on the submissions they believe are most likely to win. Members can only vote once before the bidding deadline. If you win the most bids, you collect ALL points bid and the bidders double the points they bid on you. If they bid on you and you don’t win, the bidders lose those points. As the contestant you don’t lose any points if your peers do not select you.
