Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Your Idea vs 1,000 Other Marketers?
It is an online marketing challenge from BluePMS Software Solutions Pvt Ltd. You create a single original marketing asset, publish it on ConnectsBlue and promote it on your own channels. Instead of a private judging round, the outcome is decided by public engagement and votes on a live scoreboard.
How much prize money is on offer?
The challenge carries a total cash prize pool of ₹10,000, shared among the winners. The exact distribution between winning entries is announced on the official leaderboard rather than fixed in advance.
Who can take part in the challenge?
Students, freelancers, professional marketers and creators are all eligible. Participation is on an individual basis, which makes it a good fit for solo talent who want to demonstrate their abilities.
What kind of content should I submit?
One original marketing asset. The organisers give examples such as viral hooks, meme-based advertisements, short-form videos, social media creatives and innovative campaign concepts. The idea is to produce something that instantly captures attention and drives organic engagement.
What is the deadline for the competition?
The listed deadline is 14 June 2026, and the competition window runs from 14 June 2026 to 29 June 2026. Your asset needs to be built, published on ConnectsBlue and promoted within that period.
Do I need access to ConnectsBlue?
Yes. Publishing your submission on ConnectsBlue is a requirement, since that platform is where entries live, where engagement is recorded and where the rankings take shape.
Can I use paid advertisements or bots to generate votes?
No. Paid advertisements and automated voting are strictly prohibited, and the organisers reserve the right to review and remove any content that breaks the rules or is inappropriate or offensive.
Do I need DPIIT recognition or MSME registration?
No such requirement is listed. This is an individual marketing competition rather than a startup funding scheme, so DPIIT recognition and MSME registration do not form part of the entry criteria.
How are the winners decided?
By total public engagement, reactions and votes recorded against your published asset. Entries with the highest numbers climb to the top of the scoreboard, and the prize distribution is then announced on the leaderboard.
Does the organiser take equity in return for the prize?
No. The challenge awards cash prizes rather than making an investment, so no equity or stake in your work is taken. It is a competition, not a funding round.
