GIF Contest, Round 2 Results

Announcing the results of Round 2 of the GIF Contest.

Our Judges and paid helpers made over 500,000 unique judgments and ratings to select 285 winning entries containing thousands of GIFs. To account for the great number of high-quality submissions we received, we will be distributing an additional $10,000 on top of our initial budget – for a total of $60,000.

To see some high-quality, smooth and expressive GIFs created by the contest winners, simply open the GIF search section in your Telegram app. (Android: Emoji Icon > GIF, iOS: sticker panel > GIF. You can insert an emoji in the search field.)

Results
Each submission was individually rated 1-3 by several Telegram judges, who also considered ratings submitted by paid helpers.
The rating mainly reflects image quality, the overall usability of the submissions and their relevance for the chosen emoji.

In addition, our judges considered creativity, uniqueness and style consistency. Bonus points were granted to submissions that achieved excellent quality while maintaining a small size.
