Contestants are now welcome to submit their Android and iOS Sticker Apps to @ContestBot.

Choose “Sticker App Contest”, answer the bot’s questions, then upload a binary of your app and an archive with your source code.

Please make sure to start uploading in advance so that the process is completed before the deadline.

Android: The APK must be a signed release build with a unique package id.

iOS: Make sure your binary allows our UDIDs to run your app. UDID list:

Among other things, today we launched a platform for third-party apps that allow users to create stickers for Telegram (check out the docs).

We'd like to announce a competition for developers: create an Android or iOS app that helps users easily create unique stickers and submit it to @ContestBot before July 4, 23:59 Dubai time.

You can use any idea or design for your app, provided the app is user friendly and gives users an easy way to create new custom stickers for Telegram. The apps can create static or animated stickers (although apps that create animated stickers will be considered more advanced and may get higher prizes). For example, one can create an app that allows users to upload their own photos and add text on top. The app can automatically remove the backgrounds, apply fun effects and import the result to Telegram as stickers.

We will distribute a $50,000 prize budget among the winners. The best part: contestants will retain all rights for the apps they create, so they will be able to launch their apps as independent startups and potentially monetize them.

The Animated Sticker Contest begins tomorrow.

The task for the first round will be to create two sticker packs with at least 3 animated stickers in each. No sounds will be required at this stage.

All details will be published in this channel.
