Telegram Designers

🏆 Design Competition 2024 Prize fund: Up to $30,000 Deadline: 23:59 Dubai time @ April 27th, 2024 Who can participate: Everyone Telegram announces a competition for UI designers. The top prize is $5,000, and the winner may get a chance to join the Telegram Design team. The Task is to create 3 short demo videos for 3 different features in the same manner as the demonstrations from the Telegram Blog. Each video should offer a brief overview of a feature that currently does not exist in official Telegram apps. You are welcome to use any ideas (e.g., in-app payments or a feed for channels). Be creative, but don't get carried away by things like a major app redesign. It is mandatory to cover both iOS and Android – at least 1 video out of 3 must be made for a different platform. Entries featuring all videos for both platforms are likely to get higher chances in the final scoring, provided that they fulfill the evaluation criteria. Evaluation Criteria: While evaluating submissions, the judges may apply the following criteria to determine the winners: Clarity – the general audience must have a clear understanding of how the feature you are displaying works. Consistency – the video should be looped, with smooth transitions between screens and all elements should be consistent and balanced. Completeness – you must present a finalized flow for your feature. Your video should show an entry point from existing Telegram interfaces, a brief overview of the feature's main components and a transition back to the entry point. Submissions: We will publish instructions how to submit your work closer to the deadline.

The Members Grid allows users to view 15 to 20+ more members at once without scrolling a lot while making the appearance more attractive. Along with it is a button to switch between list view and grid view for those who like the older way better. There's also an additional section for admins, bots, and contacts to keep all the members organized. The sections can be collapsed to make it easier to view other members.

🧠 A smart suggestion, which we instantly implemented. We sent 2000 euro to the creator of this submission to appreciate his great work 😌 (Pavel)
