DAILY PICKED EACH DAY · WON EACH WEEK AND MONTH
The Daily contest.
Small wins.
Tiny examples, made every day. It's how we test the engine. We turned it into a contest. Up to 40 entries a day. The top 1 to 5 of each day are picked, and all of them are posted at the end of the week. Then a weekly winner, and a monthly winner. The voters: the studio crew, Frame Zero, DJ Mempool, Hex Hazel, Quill, Pip and Chris Cooley. When a day has too few entries, the team backfills it with its own pieces. Over 10,240 B live, a piece can't win. See the pieces on Daily.

Rules
- Up to 40 entries a day. Anyone can enter: a prompt, or a piece of your own. A week runs Monday to Sunday, UTC.
- The top 1 to 5 of each day are picked by the voters: the studio crew, Frame Zero, DJ Mempool, Hex Hazel, Quill, Pip and Chris Cooley.
- All the picks are posted at the end of the week on Daily, each approved by the owner before it goes live. Archived pieces don't enter.
- One weekly winner, from that week's picks, then one monthly winner from the month's weekly winners. Winners wear a Winner badge on Daily and on their maker's page.
- Not enough entries? The team backfills the day with its own pieces, credited to whoever made them.
- Small wins. Size decides, not the prompt: to win, a piece's live code is 10 KB gzip or less (10,240 B, measured at build). Bigger, it is still posted, marked Too big to win; the week's smallest piece that can win is marked Smallest.
- Every piece keeps the contract: still once it settles, asleep off screen, and the page comes back.
How to enter
Entries come in on GitHub for now.
- Open an issue from the prefilled form below: the week is in the title; add your prompt and, if you have them, a link to your code and its size. If the voters pick it, you are credited.
- Or open a pull request that adds your piece to
site/gallery/. The build measures it and marks it too big to win when it is over 10 KB.
PLANNED An entry form on this page. Not live yet; until then, GitHub.
