Official Rules

Last updated: 5 November 2026

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

This is a skill-based contest. Winners are chosen by judging, not by chance.

Entry period: open now. The closing date will be announced on the challenge page.

1. Sponsor

The Deploy With Embarko Student Challenge (the “Challenge”) is run by SuperHeroes Inc., 651 N Broad St, Suite 201, Middletown, Delaware 19702, USA, operator of Embarko (the “Sponsor”). Questions: hello@embarko.ai.

Instagram, X and YouTube do not sponsor, endorse or administer this Challenge and are not associated with it. Apple, Sony and Rockstar Games do not sponsor or endorse it either.

2. Who can enter

  1. The Challenge is open to students in all countries who are currently enrolled at a school, college, university or recognized educational program, and who are at least 13 years old when they enter.
  2. Entrants under the age of majority where they live must have a parent or legal guardian’s permission to enter. The parent or guardian must accept these rules and any prize on the entrant’s behalf.
  3. The Challenge is void where prohibited or restricted by law, including applicable sanctions and export laws. Entrants are responsible for making sure their participation is legal where they live.
  4. Employees and contractors of the Sponsor, and their immediate family and household members, cannot enter.
  5. The Sponsor may ask any potential winner for proof of age and student status. Entrants who cannot provide it will be disqualified.

3. How to enter

  1. Register at embarko.ai/challenge by completing the entry form. An Embarko account is not required.
  2. Build a website using any AI tool and deploy it on Embarko at a yourname.embarko.app address. When the AI agent offers to keep the site, accept, or the site is deleted after 24 hours.
  3. Make a video between 40 seconds and 3 minutes long that shows the website, filmed on a phone or recorded on screen.
  4. Post the video publicly on at least one of Instagram, X or YouTube with #DeployWithEmbarko and a link to the website. Posting on more than one platform is optional, and gives the entry more reach.
  5. Submit the website link and every post link through the entry form before the deadline.

Each person may hold one entry. Submitting again with the same email address and phone number replaces the earlier entry, and only the latest entry is judged. Entries must be by one individual; team entries are not allowed.

The website must stay live and the posts must stay public until winners are announced. Entries whose website or post is offline at judging may be disqualified.

4. Entry requirements

Each entry must:

  • Be the entrant’s own work and not have won a prize in another contest.
  • Not infringe anyone’s copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights. This includes music, images and logos used in the video.
  • Not contain unlawful, hateful, sexually explicit, violent or misleading content, malware, or anything that breaks the Embarko Terms of Service or the rules of the platform it is posted on.
  • Not use bots, paid promotion, purchased followers or other artificial means to increase reach.

The Sponsor may disqualify any entry that does not meet these requirements.

5. Judging

Judges appointed by the Sponsor give each eligible entry two scores, one for the website (Work) and one for the video (Video). The reach of the submitted posts also counts toward the score. The highest total score ranks first.

PartWhat the judges look at
WorkHow the site looks; originality of the idea; whether it works on a phone
VideoOpening hook; easy to follow; storytelling; how it shows Embarko
ReachViews and engagement on the submitted posts, as visible on the platform at judging. Counts toward the score.

Ties are broken by the higher Work score, then the higher Video score. The leaderboard on the challenge page opens after judging, on Nov. 10, 2026, with names and ranks. The judges’ decisions are final.

6. Prizes

250 prizes are available. Approximate retail values (ARV) are in U.S. dollars.

If a prize cannot be delivered to a winner’s country, the Sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater value or its cash equivalent. Prizes cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash except at the Sponsor’s discretion.

The Sponsor pays standard shipping. Winners are responsible for any taxes, customs duties and import fees in their country. U.S. winners of a prize worth $600 or more must provide a completed IRS Form W-9 before the prize is sent and will receive a Form 1099.

If fewer than 250 eligible entries are received, unclaimed prizes will not be awarded.

7. Winners

Winners will be announced on the challenge page leaderboard on or about Nov. 10, 2026. The Sponsor will contact potential winners by the email address on their entry.

Potential winners must reply within 7 days and provide a shipping address, proof of age and student status and, where required, a signed eligibility declaration. A potential winner who does not reply in time, cannot be reached, or is found ineligible forfeits the prize, and the Sponsor may award it to the next-ranked eligible entry.

8. Your content

Entrants keep ownership of their website and video. By entering, each entrant gives the Sponsor a free, worldwide, non-exclusive license to display, share and feature the website, video, name and city in connection with the Challenge and Embarko’s marketing, without further payment, for two years, except where the law requires otherwise.

9. Privacy

The Sponsor collects entrants’ names, email addresses, phone numbers and entry details to run the Challenge, contact winners and deliver prizes. Information is handled under the Embarko Privacy Policy. Winners’ names and ranks will be published on the leaderboard.

10. General conditions

  • The Sponsor may cancel, suspend or change the Challenge if fraud, technical failure or anything else beyond its control affects its fairness. Changes will be posted on this page.
  • The Sponsor is not responsible for entries that are late, lost, incomplete or not received because of technical problems, or for platform outages on Instagram, X or YouTube.
  • To the extent the law allows, entrants release the Sponsor from liability for any loss or injury arising from participating in the Challenge or accepting or using a prize. Nothing in these rules limits rights that cannot be waived under consumer protection law.
  • These rules are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, except where local law requires otherwise.
