Spektt Showdowns — Official Contest Rules

1. CONTEST TYPES

Spektt hosts two types of Contests:

(a) Pulse Contests — Community showdowns open to all registered users. Prizes consist of digital badges, XP points, medals, and platform recognition. No cash prizes are awarded.

(b) Premium Contests — Showdowns with cash prize pools. Premium Contests will state the exact prize amounts and specific eligibility requirements in the Contest listing on the Platform.

2. ELIGIBILITY

To enter any Contest on the Platform, you must:

(a) Be at least 18 years of age at the time of entry. Age is verified at account creation. Users identified as minors (under 18) are automatically ineligible to enter Contests.

(b) Be a registered user of the Spektt Platform with a complete, verified account.

(c) Not be a resident of, or physically located in, any of the following jurisdictions where online contests of this nature are prohibited or restricted by law:

• • Qatar
• • United Arab Emirates (UAE)
• • Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

(d) Not be an employee, officer, director, agent, or immediate family member (spouse, parent, sibling, child) or household member of Spektt, its affiliates, subsidiaries, or any prize sponsor.

(e) Not have been suspended or banned from the Spektt Platform at the time of entry.

Void where prohibited by law. Spektt reserves the right to verify eligibility at any time and disqualify any entry that does not meet these requirements.

3. CONTEST PERIOD

Each Contest has a specific entry period, voting period, and results date displayed in the Contest listing on the Platform. All times are stated in West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1) unless otherwise specified. Spektt's system is the official timekeeping device.

4. HOW TO ENTER

(a) Download the Spektt app, create an account, and complete onboarding.

(b) Navigate to the Showdowns section and select an active Contest.

(c) Upload your original creative work (photo, video, or digital art) that meets the Contest category requirements and our Community Guidelines.

(d) Submit your entry before the entry deadline shown in the Contest listing.

Limit: ONE (1) entry per person per Contest, regardless of account type (Free or Pro). Submitting multiple entries will result in disqualification of all entries from that account.

5. ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF ENTRY (AMOE)

No purchase is necessary to enter. Free users who have reached their upload limit may request a free entry credit by emailing support@spektt.com with the subject line: "FREE ENTRY — [Contest Name]".

Free entry requests must be submitted before the entry deadline. One free entry credit per person per Contest. We will respond within 48 hours. Requests submitted after the deadline will not be honoured.

A Spektt Pro subscription provides additional uploads and features but does NOT increase your odds of winning. All entrants — Free and Pro — are limited to one (1) entry per Contest and are judged by the same criteria.

6. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS AND CONTENT STANDARDS

All entries must:

(a) Be your own original work. You must own all rights to the content submitted.

(b) Not contain nudity, explicit sexual content, graphic violence, or any content that violates our Community Guidelines.

(c) Not infringe any third-party copyright, trademark, or intellectual property rights.

(d) Not include content that was created with the primary assistance of AI image or video generation tools, unless the specific Contest explicitly permits AI-assisted work.

(e) Be submitted before the Contest entry deadline.

Spektt reserves the right to disqualify any entry that violates these standards without notice.

7. JUDGING AND WINNER SELECTION

Winners are determined by one or more of the following methods, as specified in each Contest listing:

(a) Community Voting — Registered Spektt users cast one vote per Contest. Votes are recorded and verified. Vote manipulation, bot activity, or coordinated inauthentic voting will result in immediate disqualification of the benefitting entry and suspension of the offending accounts.

(b) Judge Scoring — Selected judges score entries on stated criteria (e.g. creativity, technical quality, theme alignment). Judge scores are final.

(c) Combined — A weighted combination of community votes and judge scores, with the weighting stated in the Contest listing.

In the event of a tie, the entry submitted earliest wins.

Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received.

8. PRIZES

(a) Pulse Contests: Winners receive digital prizes including badges, XP points, medals, and profile recognition. No cash value.

(b) Premium Contests: The exact prize amounts in Nigerian Naira (₦) are stated in each individual Contest listing. Approximate prize structure for a standard Premium Contest:

• • 1st Place: as stated in Contest listing
• • 2nd Place: as stated in Contest listing
• • 3rd Place: as stated in Contest listing

Prizes are non-transferable. No cash substitution or prize exchange is permitted, except at Spektt's sole discretion. Spektt is not responsible for any failure to receive prizes due to outdated contact information or bank details provided by the winner.

9. WINNER NOTIFICATION AND PRIZE CLAIM (PREMIUM CONTESTS)

(a) Winners will be announced on the Platform and notified via in-app notification and the email address registered to their account within 48 hours of the judging period closing.

(b) Winners have FOURTEEN (14) CALENDAR DAYS from the date of notification to respond and provide the required information (full legal name, bank account details, tax identification — see Section 10).

(c) Failure to respond within 14 days, failure to provide required documentation, or ineligibility of the original winner will result in the prize being forfeited. In such cases, the next highest-placed eligible entrant will be selected as the alternate winner, who will also have 14 days to claim.

(d) If no eligible winner claims the prize within 60 days of the original announcement, the prize will be donated to a registered charity at Spektt's discretion.

10. TAX COMPLIANCE (PREMIUM CONTESTS)

(a) Nigeria: Cash prizes are subject to withholding tax in accordance with Nigerian tax law. Spektt will withhold 10% of the gross prize amount and remit it to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) on behalf of the winner. Winners will receive a net prize (gross amount less 10% withholding). A Tax Clearance Certificate will be issued to the winner upon request.

(b) International winners: Winners outside Nigeria are solely responsible for reporting and paying all taxes applicable in their jurisdiction. By accepting a prize, you confirm that you understand and accept this responsibility.

(c) Spektt reserves the right to request a Tax Identification Number (TIN), National Identification Number (NIN), or equivalent document before releasing any cash prize.

11. ENTRY LICENCE
