The results of the Second Instant View contest are in. Congratulations to the winners!

Thanks to your work, we are launching Instant View support for 2,976 new websites today. Once this is done, quick and slick Instant View pages will become available for all Telegram users who share links to articles from those websites.

Warning: Publishing your template from different accounts is not allowed.

If you have been doing this, you must recall all copies of your template so that only one remains in the contest by 14:00 UTC on March, 13.

Contestants using multiple accounts after March, 13 to submit templates may be disqualified.

Note that each template has a 72-hour window for reporting issues, regardless of when it was submitted.

E.g., if a template was submitted 20 minutes before the reporting period for the currently winning template ends, you still have 3 days to submit issues for that new template. Please do this – it will help our arbiters reach a decision faster if the winning candidate gets disqualified.

Please do NOT use issues on other templates to report problems with the winning candidate.

500 fresh domains were just added to the contest. Get them while they’re hot!

There was an issue that could prevent users from creating appeals on admin decisions in certain cases. It is now fixed.

You can create appeals for issues on domains where no winner was officially announced.
