Hello Episodians!
We are celebrating our new forums with an art contest, running from today, March 2nd - April 2nd! We’re looking for small, simple badge icons that will be made by and voted on in the forum community. We will announce the contest winners when we launch the new badges at the end of the April!
What are badges?
Badges are icons that you earn to reward you for participating in the community. You earn them for giving / receiving a like, completing your profile, inviting a friend to the forums and many other things! Once the badges are turned on you can see what badges you’ve earned by checking out the Summary tab on your Profile and scrolling to the bottom or by tapping the badge link in your menu.
Each badge has a symbol and a name, ex:
The rules
These icons must follow our content guidelines, art rules and be submitted through the contest entry form before the deadline, April 2nd.
We are looking for art submissions that best represent the badges’ meaning. You can use Episode Art Assets if you want, but its not required. Unfortunately, using Episode Characters or assets from any of our Hollywood stories (such as Demi, Clueless, Dolan Twins, etc.) are not allowed.
Only one entry per person for each badge is allowed. You can submit more than one badge… Please do not submit more than one image per badge - we will only keep the first one.
Art submitted must be:
- No larger than 50 x 50 pixels
- Less than 1MB in size
- Circular in shape
- a .png file
Winners will get their art icon on the badge with an Episode blue border around it, a shout-out on Instagram, artist credit in a permanent forum post and have their name in the badge’s description.
Timeline
- Submission period: March 2nd - April 2nd
- Voting period: April 3rd - April 16th
So, which badges are we making icons for?

- First Vote: You cast a vote in your first poll
- Ice Breaker: You posted your first comment or reply
- Speaking Up: You started your first topic
- Good Samaritan: You flagged a post that was subsequently found to be outside of our guidelines by forum staff.
