🏆 Telegram iOS Contest 2022, Round 1: Results

We were pleased to see 68 developers, both newcomers and accomplished contest veterans, participate in this competition to implement a feature-rich media editor from scratch.

For such a complex task with a tough deadline, many contestants delivered solid apps. However, no submissions in this round qualified for🥇1st place. For this reason, we will be giving smaller rewards to a larger than usual number of apps. Congratulations to the winners – the number of people on today’s podium indicates a growing community of skilled programmers.

Remember, winning Telegram Contests is the only way to join the Telegram Team.

When evaluating the entries, we first rated how well an app implemented the minimum requirements, then separately reviewed any of its extra features. Smooth, high-quality drawing was the top priority.

🥈2nd and 🥉3rd Place were reserved for submissions that achieved the minimum requirements, while apps that were close to the criteria but lacked polish and stability were awarded 🎖4th Place.

After many hours of testing and deliberation, we are now ready to announce the results. Everyone is welcome to check the detailed reviews for each app on contest.com. Here are the winners!
