Requirements
Ready to enter the SodaStream Party Food Contest? Excellent, here's how it works.
Publish! - Publish a new Instructable that shows how to make a party food. Instructables must be published during the contest period to be eligible. That's from Jan. 31 to Feb. 13 (11:59pm PST).
Enter! - Upon publishing your Instructable you'll see checkboxes for open contests. Select the SodaStream Party Food Contest. If you missed it and it's eligible, it will show up below.
Now what? - Entries need to be accepted by a moderator before they're in the contest. This usually happens quickly, but can take up to 48 hours. What matters is the submission time, not acceptance time. So if you enter it at 11:59pm on the last day, it can be accepted the next morning and still be in the contest. And then it's on to the...
Voting Phase - After the contest closes for entries, it immediately enters the voting phase. At this time, any Instructables user can vote for as many entries as they want. Voting can be done on the Instructable page or here on the contest page. These votes help determine the...
Finalists - Half of the finalists are determined by the user votes, and the other half are determined by Instructables staff. It's our own checks and balances system. Then it's on to the...
Judging Phase - A panel of judges made up of Instructables staff, friends of Instructables, and respected members of the community judge the finalists. Each judge rates the entries on a scale of 1 to 9 and we average out the ratings to determine the winners.
Winners! When the winners have been decided they are announced here on the contest page. Both winners and non-winners will be notified when this happens so you don't need to keep checking. We do as much as we can to determine the winners as quickly as possible, but sometimes there are emergencies, lost Wifi connections, and other bits of randomness that may cause a delay. All the same, if you entered, we will let you know when the results are posted.
OK, then, good luck and have fun!
