In addition, two (2) qualified entrants will receive the Final Prize: a $300 payment that will be applied to your first teacher payment on or around Feb. 16. The Final Prize winners will be determined solely based on the quality of the entry submitted and the skill shown by the teacher. All entries will be assessed by the Skillshare Curation team, and then separately by at least two Skillshare staff members. The entries that best adhere to Skillshare’s Class Quality Guidelines will be selected as the winner. Some teachers will receive coaching from the Skillshare Community team during the Challenge and others will not.
