Contest Guidelines

1. As long as entries are your own original works, they can be of anything format that you wish, including but not limited to: animated GIFs, short videos, original songs, cover songs, dance videos, MMD videos, written tributes, illustrations, cosplay photos, etc.

2. Reprinted or copied works will not be accepted.

3. Entries will be accepted between August 12 and September 15. You can continue giving “Likes” to entries until September 18, 12:00 am (CST). Winners will be announced after the contest concludes.

4. Entries must be about the Medium 5 characters, and each must comply with each one’s terms of use.

5. Entries must contain the hashtag #五维介质创作赛# to be entered into the contest. Entries celebrating Stardust’s birthday can also be tagged with #星尘2019诞生日#. Furthermore, be sure to include some words of recommendation in the entry description (where it says “粉丝动态” for video uploads, and ” 作品简介” for illustration uploads below) for your entry to attract fans. Tags alone will not get you into the trending lists.
※Please keep in mind that the majority of Bilibili users are Chinese-speaking

6. If you are submitting non-video entries, please write a entry description recommending your entry, and tag your upload with #五维介质创作赛# (entries celebrating Stardust’s birthday can also be tagged with #星尘2019诞生日#) , and this will greatly increase the chances of your entry being seen by others. Illustrations can further be tagged with #原创绘图# (“original illustration”), photographs with #摄影#, cosplays with #Cosplay#, etc.
※Looking up how your desired tag is written in Chinese can help.

7. Any kind of advertisement content used for commercial intent will not be acceptable (this is including but not limited to video watermarks, promotional trailers, etc.)

8. Video content that is explicit or violates any laws or policies will not be accepted.

9. Bilibili holds all the final decision-making power in this contest. If you have any questions, please contact the users 大家的音乐姬 or 诺诺小熊猫
