The Challenges
The field keeps narrowing. The Round 3 videos are in and we’re judging them right now, cutting the round into episodes, which is why this page runs ahead of what you’ve seen on the channel. Nobody’s pretending it airs live. When the Round 3 episode airs September 13, voting opens and you help pick the three finalists.

Questions
How do I submit?+
It depends on the round. Earlier rounds were submitted right here on the active round above. Round 3 contestants submit on their private Top 12 hub using the link and password in their email. Read the full rules →
Can I edit my submission?+
Yes — just submit again before the deadline. We always use your most recent entry, so there’s nothing to undo. Read the full rules →
What if I miss the deadline?+
Late entries aren’t accepted — the form closes at the posted time (shown in ET). Set a reminder; the countdown beside the form is the source of truth. Read the full rules →
When are results announced?+
After each round closes and judging wraps, results air on the Measure Twice channel and will get posted here after the results video goes live. Advancing competitors are also notified by email. Read the full rules →
Who judges?+
The Measure Twice team, which includes the Star Creators — Perkins Builder Brothers, HAXMAN, and Stud Pack. Later rounds add a public vote. Read the full rules →
How are winners notified?+
By email to the address on your application, and publicly when each round’s recap goes live. Keep an eye on your inbox between rounds. Read the full rules →
Can viewers vote?+
Yes. A public vote opens later in the season and it feeds directly into who makes the Finals, so if you want a say in the final three, that’s the moment. We’ll announce the window on the channel and here when it opens — watch for it, because it won’t be open long. Judging otherwise sits with the Measure Twice team and the Star Creators.
