Complete Your Profile

After registering, you'll be prompted to complete your profile. While some fields are optional, we recommend filling out as much information as possible to enhance your experience on the platform.

Profile Information:

  • Required Information

    • Email address (if not using social login)
  • Recommended Information
    • Profile picture
    • Bio/About me
    • Areas of interest or expertise

A complete profile helps competition hosts learn more about you and can increase your chances of success in certain competitions. It also helps other users connect with you for potential collaborations.

If you registered with an email address, you'll need to verify it before you can fully use the platform. Check your inbox for a verification email from Competition Platform.

Email Verification Process:

If you don't see the verification email in your inbox, check your spam or junk folder. If you still can't find it, you can request a new verification email from your account settings page.

Set Your Preferences

Once your account is verified, take a moment to set your preferences. This helps us personalize your experience and ensures you receive relevant notifications.

Key Preferences to Configure:

  • Notification Settings:Choose how and when you receive notifications (email, in-app, etc.)
  • Privacy Settings:Control who can see your profile and contact you
  • Competition Interests:Select categories of competitions you're interested in

You can access and update these preferences anytime from your account settings page.

Account Security Best Practices

Protecting your account is important, especially if you're participating in competitions with valuable prizes. Follow these security best practices:

  • Use a Strong, Unique Password

    Create a password that's at least 12 characters long with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.

  • Enable Two-Factor Authentication

    Add an extra layer of security by enabling two-factor authentication in your account settings. This requires a verification code in addition to your password when logging in.

  • Keep Your Email Secure

    Since your email is linked to your account, make sure it's also protected with a strong password and two-factor authentication if possible.

  • Be Cautious of Phishing Attempts

    We will never ask for your password via email. Be suspicious of any emails asking for your login credentials or personal information.
