Rules

The short version

Glowtown quests are free, friendly creative challenges. Make something, enter it, and you might win something handmade by Chromelore. Be kind, make your own work, and have fun.

1. Who can play

You need to be 18 or older and a Glowrider (that just means signing in with your email). It's free to join and free to enter, and you never have to buy anything.

2. How quests work

Each quest has a prompt, an opening time and a closing time (shown on the quest page, in your local time). Entries must arrive before the quest closes. Weekly quests usually allow one entry per Glowrider; each quest page says if it's different.

3. What you can enter

• Your own original work, in any medium the quest allows (image, video link, sound link, writing…).
• AI tools are welcome, as long as the idea and the final piece are yours and you have the right to share everything in it.
• No hateful, explicit, violent or harassing content, and nothing that copies someone else's work. Entries like that are removed.

4. How winners are chosen

Chromelore judges every quest and picks the winner based on creativity, originality and how well it answers the prompt. Sparks ✦ from other Glowriders decide the separate "Community pick" shout-out, but don't decide the prize. If several entries are equally strong, the winner may be drawn at random from a shortlist. Chromelore's decision is final.

5. Prizes

• Each quest shows its prize: for example a poster, a postcard or a hand-drawn sketch by Chromelore.
• Prizes can't be swapped for cash or anything else.
• Winners are contacted by email and asked to reply with a postal address. If a winner doesn't reply within 14 days, Chromelore may pick another winner.
• Chromelore ships worldwide and pays the postage. Any customs or import fees in the winner's country are the winner's responsibility. Chromelore isn't responsible for parcels lost or delayed by the postal service.

6. Your work stays yours

You keep all rights to what you make. By entering, you allow Chromelore to show your entry, with credit to your Glowrider name, on Glowtown, chromelore.xyz, the newsletter and Chromelore's social media. Ask anytime and your entry will be taken down.

7. Your privacy

Your email is used only to sign you in and to contact you about quests you enter. You'll only get the newsletter if you choose it. Postal addresses are only collected from winners, by email, and only used to send the prize. You can delete your Glowrider account at any time from your profile.

8. The small print

Chromelore may change, pause or cancel a quest, or remove entries or Glowriders who break these rules. These rules may be updated; the version on this page is the one that applies. Questions? Email hello@chromelore.xyz.
