🎨 Android Design Contest

Prize fund: $30,000
Deadline: 23:59 on October 5th (Dubai time)
Who can participate: Everyone
Results: October 19th, 2023

Telegram is hosting a new design contest for its Android app.

The Task:
Create a detailed redesign concept for the Telegram Android app. Your concept should maintain the app’s core essence and lightweight feel while introducing an improved visual aesthetic with updated elements.

The guidelines of Material Design 3 may also be used for additional reference. To be eligible for any rewards, your submission must include all the areas and components outlined below.

Minimum Requirements:

Chat List
• Bottom Navigation Bar

Chats
• Private Chats (including Secret Chats)
• Channels (both admin and subscriber perspectives)
• Groups (including those with topics enabled)

Profiles
• User Profiles
• Group and Channel Info pages

Settings
• Main Settings Page
• User Info

Your design should thoroughly consider various scenarios and encompass all related elements and components – such as pinned messages, service messages, shared media, stories and more.

For the Chat List you can include an optional version with a white header (and an alternate translucent appearance).

Submission Format:
1) The layouts can be implemented as static .png files. For any animation demos, use .mp4 format (without sound).
Source files and properly structured Figma projects are also welcome.
2) If you include videos, you must also provide several static .png images from each video that serve as a storyboard.
3) If you use complex animated icons, they must be in lottie json or .tgs format.

Submissions that include detailed visualizations, such as videos showcasing your project from a general perspective and offering in-depth views of elements like transition flows between screens and interface animations (including buttons) are more likely to receive a higher place in the prize rankings.

@ContestBot will begin accepting submissions at a later date. We will further clarify the submission instructions closer to the deadline.

🤖 Telegram Mini App Contest

Prize fund: $50,000
Deadline: 23:59 on October 9th (Dubai time)
Who can participate: Everyone
Results: October 31st, 2023

Telegram is launching a contest for developers of Mini Apps like this one. One of the goals of this competition is to create a variety of examples and reusable tools for future Mini App developers.

The Task:

The task is to build any useful Mini App for Telegram and publish its client and server code on Github.

Your submission must include:
• A GitHub repository containing the source code of your example Mini App, built from scratch. You can use any programming language for the server-side code. The source code of your app must be easy to understand and reusable for any developer starting to build Mini Apps for Telegram. For more, see the “Mini App requirements” section below.
• Comprehensive and organized documentation in English, including a setup guide. Ensure the guide addresses every element of your solution, and the documentation details all potential errors and exceptions. It should be written in a user-friendly way that is approachable even for inexperienced developers. Translations in other languages are welcome too.

---

Mini App requirements:
• Design a simple yet functional app. For reference, see @DurgerKingBot or @wallet.
• Your solution should include at least one fully functional Mini App example. Example apps are allowed to showcase fictional services or generate placeholder data, such as creating a mock store.
• It is strictly prohibited to implement a browser view of actual webpages, the Mini App must be a separate entity built from scratch solely for its purpose. For example a "Weather App" submission that only provides a browser view for an existing weather website is not allowed. That said, actual webpages are allowed for authorization flows where a user is required to sign up or log in to use the service.
• Recommended Mini App categories include games, dating, community management, venue booking, e-commerce, сontent editing, etc.
• Each additional Mini App example can qualify for extra rewards, but only if it represents a different app category.

Evaluation Criteria:
We will evaluate each submission's code and documentation quality from the developer perspective, as well as its example Mini Apps from the user perspective. The app should be useful for developers, users, or both.

Thankyou Guys. 🥺🥺🥺

If possible we can check what happens at Level 10.

⚡Boost this channel

The day has come. Telegram channels can now post Stories!

Stories on Telegram are more visible than in most apps, because they are displayed right on the main screen. Obviously, we couldn’t let channels flood users with Stories without reasonable limits: this would create too much noise in your Chats.

This is why we designed the Boost system. With Boosts, users can give their favorite channels the ability to post stories. More boosts mean more stories per day for a channel. Every 24 hours users can reassign their boost.

In the future, boosts will also unlock other features for channels, such as custom reactions, emoji statuses or custom backgrounds. We’ll also introduce more ways for channels to get Boosts.

To prevent abuse, only Premium users can boost channels. It shouldn’t be hard to collect Boosts for channels with real subscribers, while those with fake followers may struggle (larger channels need more Boosts to unlock stories).

Let the Boost Hunt begin! 🏹
