Why it's real

The money exists before you enter.

✓ Prizes are funded up front and held in escrow before anyone enters. A posted prize is a real prize.

✓ Judged blind against a published rubric. Names off, work only.

✓ Payouts through Stripe, direct to your bank.

✓ Free weekly competitions so you can try it without paying anything.

Track record

We've been running these already.

We've been running editing competitions by hand — collecting entries, judging them, and paying the winners ourselves. Real editors, real payouts, no platform behind it. EditComps is the same thing built properly: escrow, blind judging and automatic payouts, so it can run every week instead of whenever we can manage it.
