ContestBot is now ready to accept submissions for the Telegram App Icon Competition.

Start the bot, choose “App Icon Competition”, answer the bot’s questions, then send:
- A ZIP-archive with the following structure:

submission.zip/ ├─ 📁icon_1/ │ ├─ 📁android/ │ │ ├─ folder_contents │ ├─ 📁ios/ │ │ ├─ folder_contents ├─ 📁icon_2/ ├─ demo.png

Where:
- submission.zip – is your archive;
- icon_1/2/3, etc. – are separate folders for each icon; the folder must contain the source files.
- android and ios – are platform-specific folders inside the icon folders;
– folder_contents – your icons adapted for the relevant platforms. For Android you must additionally follow the provided sample structure.
– demo.png – is an image that provides a summary of your work and serves as a brief overview. This can be a single canvas with all icons placed in a grid so anyone can take a quick look. Please avoid sending home screens packed into device mockups, they are not helpful.

You will also be required to post your demo.png file on contest.com after the deadline. (An announcement for this will come at a later date)

Note:
For submissions with only 1 icon, you can directly include android and ios folders in your archive without a separate icon folder.
