PARTICIPATIONRULES.

1. Organizer and eligibility

Organizer: Cuke Media LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, United States. Contact: contact@cukecoin.xyz, monitored by the CUKE team. Write to that address for the company’s postal details.

Entry is free. No purchase, token ownership, trade, deposit or paid subscription is required or improves your chances. Participants must be at least 18, meet any higher local age of majority, control their registered X and Telegram accounts, and take part from a country where a free-entry creative award with a cash prize is lawful. If local law requires an authorization we do not hold, that country is not eligible and we say so on this page.

One entry per person. Multiple-account entries, impersonation and fabricated engagement are ineligible. Members of the CUKE team, the people who review the entries, and anyone living in their household cannot win.

2. Registration and schedule

Register your X and Telegram handles before taking part. You receive registration confirmation only after the server successfully records your entry. One registration covers subsequent weeks while the program remains open and you remain eligible; you can withdraw by contacting us.

The award starts on 20 September 2026 at 18:48 UTC+2 and runs every week. The first winner is announced on 27 September 2026 at 19:00 UTC+2, then on the dates published on the award page, always at 19:00 UTC+2 and using a fixed offset throughout the year.

The first period runs from 20 September 2026 at 18:48 UTC+2 to 27 September at 12:00 UTC+2. Later periods run from Sunday 12:00 UTC+2 to the next Sunday 12:00 UTC+2; the team reviews it between the cutoff and the announcement at 19:00 UTC+2. The program runs week after week until CUKE announces the end, with at least 7 days’ notice on @mistercuke and @cukecoins. Entries must be verifiable for the applicable week. Activity after the published cutoff counts toward the next eligible week.

3. Create your own CUKE content

Create and manually publish your own designs, memes, videos, GIFs, carousels and illustrations. Every eligible creative post on X must tag both @mistercuke and @cukecoins, so the team can find it.

Do not submit copied or reposted work created by another person as your entry, even with credit. You must have the necessary rights to material used in your original contribution. You may use the CUKE character, logo and images published on cukecoin.xyz and on the official CUKE accounts to make your own CUKE content for this award and for your own social posts. You may not use them on merchandise, paid advertising, tokens or products of your own.

AI tools are welcome for your own creative media, but the team always gives preference to original hand-drawn illustrations over AI-generated artwork, while considering quality, effort and creativity. Publishing and sharing must be manual.

4. Participate as a person

Participate consistently on X with relevant, thoughtful comments under posts from @mistercuke and @cukecoins, and join genuine conversations in the CUKE Telegram community at https://t.me/cukeclub.

AI-generated comments or chat replies, bots, automated posting, purchased engagement, duplicate or near-duplicate messages, coordinated spam and multiple-account participation are prohibited and can make you ineligible. Enthusiasm must remain relevant and authentic. There is no requirement to make financial claims, pressure people to buy a token or promise returns.

5. How the team chooses

The choice is ours alone, and it is final. CUKE of the Week is not a competition with a measurable score: it is a recognition given at the sole and absolute discretion of the CUKE team, based on a subjective editorial judgement of the work published each week. Taking part, posting often, leading the provisional leaderboard or having the highest message or post count does not create any right, expectation or entitlement to the prize. The team may give the week to the author of a single outstanding creation over someone who published far more, may decide that no entry meets the standard and award nothing for that week, may change the weight it gives to each criterion from week to week, and may disqualify an entry it considers copied, automated, bought or abusive. The team is not required to publish, justify or discuss the reasons for a choice, and keeps its own internal notes for its own use only.

By entering you accept this. Entry is free and voluntary: nobody pays anything and nobody buys anything, so nobody acquires a claim over the outcome. Once a weekly decision is announced it is final and is not open to appeal, revision or negotiation on the merits, and the team will not reopen a completed week. If you do not accept this, do not enter, and you are free to stop taking part at any time. CUKE may announce future changes, a pause or an end with at least 7 days of notice, as described above, and can correct an obvious mistake such as a wrong handle or a duplicate entry.

The team always decides. Quality can beat quantity: if one creation shows more originality, effort and care than a week of frequent posting, the team can give that week to its author. Message counts, post counts and the public leaderboard are signals the team looks at; they are not a score that picks the winner by itself. The team applies the criteria on this page and keeps an internal record of its reasons; that record is for the team, not a document participants are entitled to receive.

The team considers quantity, daily consistency and quality together across eligible X and Telegram activity. Meaningful contribution matters more than raw message counts. Originality, effort, usefulness to the community and respectful participation are considered.

Consistent with the current design, videos and GIFs receive the most consideration among formats, followed by carousels, then illustrations. A format or a high count does not guarantee a win. These are judgment criteria, not an automatic points formula.

Tie-break: compare quality and originality first, then consistency across the week, then the quantity of distinct qualifying contributions. The team keeps its own internal record of the reasons and uses an impartial reviewer where a conflict of interest exists. No random draw is used.

6. Provisional leaderboard

The leaderboard is a provisional team assessment. Authorized reviewers may update it as contributions are checked or errors corrected. Being shown first does not mean that a prize has been awarded. Updates follow the criteria on this page and the team’s own judgement of the work.

The final winner is announced separately after review. Public display uses a participant reference or the handle separately permitted by the participant. Declining optional handle publication does not reduce eligibility.

7. Prize and delivery

One eligible winner receives US$50 per award week. This is a community award, not an investment return. Previous winners may win again in a later award week.

The prize is US$50, paid in USDC on the Solana network, or by PayPal if the winner prefers. We contact the winner within 48 hours of the announcement by direct message from @mistercuke or @cukecoins, or on Telegram. The winner has 5 days to reply with a Solana wallet address or a PayPal address and to confirm that the registered accounts are theirs. We pay within 7 days of that confirmation and cover the network or transfer fee. If the winner does not reply within 5 days, or turns out not to be eligible, the team selects another winner for that week. No payment or token purchase will be requested to release the prize. Taxes and reporting responsibilities follow applicable law.

The amount is always US$50: when paid in USDC the transfer is made at 1 USDC = 1 US dollar. No $CUKE token is ever given in place of the prize.

8. Review, corrections and withdrawal

The team may request links or a proportionate explanation of authorship or account ownership. Unsupported suspicion or an AI detector score alone is not proof of misconduct. Confirmed rule violations can exclude the affected contributions or the participant, at the team’s discretion.

You may report an error or dispute to the organizer. Write to contact@cukecoin.xyz within 7 days of the announcement; we answer within 14 days. We correct factual mistakes, such as a wrong handle, a missed link or a duplicate entry; the editorial choice of the winner is not reopened. Decisions remain subject to applicable law and cannot exclude mandatory consumer or privacy rights. Any material future rule change will be announced in advance and will not unfairly change the conditions of a completed week.

9. Creative rights and privacy

You retain rights in your original work. Entry does not transfer ownership to CUKE or grant a blanket license for merchandise, advertising or commercial reuse. Separate permission is required for reuse beyond what the applicable platform features and a specific agreed license permit.

The CUKE Privacy Policy explains registration, activity review, public display and retention. Award participation is separate from newsletter signup.

10. Platforms and applicable terms

CUKE of the Week is organized by Cuke Media LLC, not sponsored, administered or endorsed by X, Telegram or Instagram. Participants must comply with the relevant platform rules. Instagram activity is not part of this program.

These rules are governed by the law of the State of Wyoming, United States, and disputes are dealt with by the courts of that state. This does not remove the consumer and data-protection rights that the law of your own country of residence gives you, or your right to go to the courts and authorities there.
