You must be at least 16 years of age to enter and be a legal resident of the US
as of April 1, 2022. If you are a current BuzzFeed full-time employee (including
full-time contract employee, freelancer, and intern) or have been employed with
BuzzFeed within the past six months, you are not eligible for this challenge.
Posts must adhere to the Community Rules and the User Agreement. Entries that
violate the Community Rules or User Agreement can be removed and/or disqualified
at BuzzFeed's sole discretion. BuzzFeed is not responsible for any user who is
unable to create an account or post for any reason, including technical issues.

Any participant who opts in and is eligible for a payout will be asked to
provide necessary information confirming your eligibility, including banking
information for ACH (direct deposit) payment, your W9, and an executed document
to be signed confirming your earnings and the amount, so that we can get your
payment to you — more on that below! Please note that opting in does not
guarantee that any post is eligible for the challenge, or that it will be
featured on our site in any way.

If you fail to provide this information, we will be unable to send the payout
your way!

You can track your traffic and statistics by looking at your own personal
dashboard (guide here), and you can check out our official weekly challenge
leaderboard to see how you're ranking. 

If the total pageview count on your posts published between April 1, 2022, and
April 30, 2022, is high enough to rank you in the top 5 and you meet our
eligibility requirements, you earn a payment! We will contact you via the email
address connected to your account. (We will not count any pageviews accumulated
on these posts after May 15, 2022, at 12:01 a.m. EDT.)

If you have earned a payout, a BuzzFeed Community team member will email you by
Thursday, May 26, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. EDT at the latest to let you know if you
have earned a payout. This person’s email will end in @buzzfeed.com — please do
not provide any information to an address that does not end in
@buzzfeed.com. Please also be sure to check your spam just in case our message
gets caught.

You will have 10 business days after our initial email to you to return the
signed affidavit form confirming your eligibility and provide us with banking
information for ACH payment, your W9, and an executed document to be signed
confirming your earnings and the amount so that we can get your payment to you.
If you do not respond within 10 business days, you will, unfortunately, forfeit
your earnings and be unable to claim any payment. Once your information has been
provided to us and is verified as valid, our team will process it and get your
payment (in US dollars) to you via ACH within 30 days. Please remember that you
must be 16 years of age and a legal resident of the US to claim your payment,
and this information will have to be verified before your payment is sent your
way. In the event that you are at least 16 but still considered a minor in your
jurisdiction of residence, BuzzFeed reserves the right to send payment to your
parent, who will be responsible for fulfilling all requirements. Earnings are
subject to taxation. BuzzFeed will disburse a 1099 tax form to all participants
who receive a payout, which will be sent postmarked by Jan. 31, 2023. 

If you do not receive a message by May 26, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. EDT, this means
you will not receive a payment, sorry! In the case that you have traffic data on
your dashboard for posts that were not removed or disqualified published between
April 1, 2022, and April 30, 2022, that qualifies you as a recipient of earnings
and you have not heard from us by May 26, 2022, please reach out to us
at communityhelp@buzzfeed.com no later than June 1, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. EDT.

The #1 way that a post goes viral is by getting noticed by one of our Community
editors and being promoted within our network. A post is only promoted on our
network if a Community editor selects and edits the post for promotion. 
Promotion entails any combination of the following levers:

➡️ Running on the BuzzFeed.com homepage, vertical feed pages, and site units

➡️ Getting posted to one of BuzzFeed’s social channels

➡️ Posts with high SEO potential will rank on Google

However, you can use your own accounts to promote your Community post as well,
like making TikToks about your post, putting your list or quiz in your bios, in
Facebook groups, or whatever else you can think of!

Any post that elicits invalid and inorganic traffic activity that artificially
increases the number of pageviews to your post will be disqualified. This
includes spam, invalid queries, duplicate posts, invalid impressions generated
by any person, bot, automated program, or similar device, impressions generated
by payment of money or other inducements to third parties, false representation,
or any offer to trade views to posts.

We’re excited that you’re joining our challenge. Before you submit your post,
you should know that any Community post chosen by our editors for promotion will
likely be edited to fit BuzzFeed's editorial standards.

Our editors choose what content can be promoted across the site and social
networks. They typically select posts that check at least one of the following
criteria:

✅ Fits in with current trends of what’s performing well on the site 

✅ Fits with BuzzFeed’s editorial voice and standards

✅ Relevant to a topic that our users are searching for on the site

✅ Fills a content gap that our editorial staff is not currently writing about

✅ Originality and exceptional cleverness in voice, frame, or topic

✅ Does not violate our Community Rules or User Agreement 

✅ Is in English

We’re thrilled to have so many fantastic submissions, but not every post will
get promoted. Check out our most recently promoted Community posts for
inspiration and keep trying!

➡️ Make sure your headline, thumbnail, and post description are enticing and
would make someone want to click into the post.

➡️ Consistent capitalization and punctuation, as well as correct grammar and
spelling usage, are all huge pluses.

➡️ Make sure any quiz you make has at least five questions and that each result
includes at least a couple of sentences.

➡️ A list can be anywhere between 8 and 100 items, but unless each list item is
very in depth, we suggest at least 15 items in a list.

➡️ We get LOTS of personality quizzes on Community, so it can help to branch out
by making other types of quizzes.

➡️ Ensure that your quiz results are accurate and don’t feel completely random —
readers are more likely to share and engage with quizzes that resonate
personally with them.

➡️ You can check out tips to make your best quiz ever here, and tips to make
your best list here!

Yes! If you are eligible for a payout, our team will reach out to you via the
email associated with your Community account, so please make sure it’s
up-to-date! Please do not provide any information to an address that does not
end in @buzzfeed.com.

If you need to check or change the email address connected to your account, you
can do so while logged in at https://www.buzzfeed.com/settings. Having trouble
with this? Email us at communityhelp@buzzfeed.com before the Challenge ends on
April 30, 2022, and we’ll help you out.

   So you get lots of free entries and the best payout for 3,4,5 is $100? So the
   optic you’re going with is Buzzfeed doesn’t value real writers enough to
   compensate well?
