Join contests and climb the leaderboard for exposure and community.
Making great content is one thing; getting it seen is another. Challenges are community contests inside OnZero where you enter your work, get in front of other creators, and climb a leaderboard. They are the lowest-pressure way to start building a public track record.
Why challenges are worth it
Beyond the leaderboard, challenges give you a theme to work against, which sharpens your skills faster than open-ended practice. They also put your character in front of an audience that might follow, collaborate, or buy - exposure that is hard to earn any other way when you are starting out.
- 1Browse the open challenges and pick a theme that fits you.
- 2Create an entry featuring your consistent character.
- 3Submit your entry and follow your spot on the leaderboard.
A recognizable character helps your entries stand out and makes people remember you across challenges. The same face showing up week after week builds a following.
Challenges build exposure and reputation. The next step is turning that recognition into something tradable - and that is where the marketplace comes in.
