   Teams are encouraged to keep in mind the following guidelines, as well as the judging criteria described in Rule #4, in the development of their Submission:

   THE CHALLENGE:

   Design a working prototype that pushes the boundaries of interactive design:

   • Must demonstrate creativity, craft, and innovation using Figma’s products to create a code-backed interactive experience beyond static designs
   • Must use Code Layers to explore ideas and use them to build your final working prototype
   • Must include a distinctive visually expressive identity that incorporates Motion
   • Must show & document the process in your Figma file (exploration of ideas with code layers, how/where they used the agent, etc.) in tandem with final working prototype
   • Participants should leverage the Figma agent to help automate routine actions, build custom shaders or plugins, or help them animate with Figma Motion on the canvas

   The Submission itself, including its core concept, design, prototype and custom implementation, must be created during the Contest Period after release of the Challenge Prompt. Pre-existing projects or previously developed contest solutions may not be entered.

   Generally available libraries, APIs, plug-ins, open-source materials and other permitted third-party tools may be used by a Team if properly licensed and disclosed as part of its Submission.

   The use of generative artificial intelligence, including AI assisted design tools and agents, AI coding tools, Figma AI features (collectively, “AI”) or similar technologies is permitted; however, each Team must disclose such use as part of its Submission.

   All registrations and Submissions must be received by the applicable dates and times specified in these Official Rules. Incomplete registrations or Submissions, or registrations or Submissions that do not comply with these Official Rules or any instructions provided by Sponsor, may be disqualified in Sponsor’s sole discretion.

4. JUDGING AND WINNER SELECTION: All Submissions must be submitted by approximately 4:00 PM AEDT on December 2, 2026 or as more specifically defined at the Contest (the “Submission Deadline”). Following the Submission Deadline, all eligible Submissions will be evaluated by a panel of judge(s) selected by the Sponsor (the “Contest Judges”).

   STAGE 1 – SUBMISSION EVALUATION: The Contest Judges will each evaluate and score each eligible Submission in accordance with the following judging criteria and corresponding scoring, up to a maximum of twenty-one (21) points in total:

   1. Quality & Craft: Clarity, intentionality and cohesive craft of the Submission: must include a distinctive, visually expressive identity that incorporates Figma Motion. (Up to five (5) points)
   2. Creativity & Innovation: An original, ambitious and unexpected prototype: must create a code-backed interactive experience beyond static designs. (Up to five (5) points)
   3. Exploration on the Canvas: Highlight how multiple ideas/decisions ultimately led you to your final prototype (and why): must show evidence of your process in your Figma file - e.g. multiple & meaningful exploration of ideas across code layers, how/where they used the agent, visual system, motion ideas in tandem with your final prototype (Up to five (5) points)
   4. Product Expertise: Thoughtful, meaningful use of Code Layers, Figma’s agent, and Figma Motion across the broader Figma creative canvas - e.g. details of how/where did you explore ideas with Code layers, automate routine tasks or create plugins with Figma’s agent, animate with Figma Motion on the canvas, etc. (Up to five (5) points)
   5. Social Share Bonus: Sharing the Team's working prototype and project on social media in accordance with Sponsor instructions. (up to one (1) bonus point)

   Each Team’s scores on each criterion will be added to determine its final score. Up to ten (10) Teams (where enough eligible Submissions exist) with the highest initial scores may be selected as finalists (each a “Finalist Team”).

   In the event of a tie in determining the Finalist Teams, the tied Submission receiving the higher score for criterion “a”, above, will be ranked higher. If a tie remains, the tied Submission receiving the higher score for criterion “b”, above, will be ranked higher, followed by criterion “c”, and then criterion “d”, above. If a tie still remains, the Teams tied for advancement to the “Finalist Team Presentation” stage, below, will also advance.

   STAGE 2 – FINALIST TEAM PRESENTATION

   Each Finalist Team will present a live pitch to the Judges. Each Finalist Team may designate up to two (2) Team members to deliver the presentation on behalf of the Team. Presentations must be a minimum of thirty (30) seconds and a maximum of two (2) minutes in length. Sponsor reserves the right to enforce presentation time limits. The live pitch will be worth up to three (3) additional points and the Judges will evaluate each Finalist Teams according to the following criteria: (a) what was built and the inspiration behind it (up to one (1) additional point); (b) how Figma products were used (up to one (1) additional point); and (c) what makes the Submission "Unexpected by Design" (up to one (1) additional point). At the discretion of the Judges, Judges may ask limited follow-up questions following a presentation. Any such questions are intended solely to clarify the Submission and will not alter the judging criteria or scoring methodology.

   STAGE 3 – FINAL SCORES

   A Finalist Team's final score will be the sum of its Stage 1 score and its Stage 2 live pitch score.

   The three (3) Finalist Teams receiving the highest final scores following Stage 2 will be selected as the potential winning Teams (each, a “Potential Winning Team”). Each eligible member of a Potential Winning Team will be considered a “Potential Winner.” The Finalist Team receiving the highest final score will be the Potential Winning Team for the Grand Prize, the Finalist Team receiving the second-highest final score will be the Potential Winning Team for the Second Place Prize, and the Finalist Team receiving the third-highest final score will be the Potential Winning Team for the Third Place Prize.

   In the event of a tie in the final scores, the tied Submission receiving the higher score for criterion “a” in the Finalist Team Presentations, above, will be ranked higher. If a tie remains, the tied Submission receiving the higher score for criterion “b” in the Finalist Team Presentations, above, will be ranked higher, followed by criterion “c” in the Finalist Team Presentations, above. If a tie still remains, an additional Contest Judge (who did not participate in the initial scoring) will be selected by the Sponsor to evaluate the tied Submissions using the Stage 1 judging criteria only, and the tied Submission receiving the higher score from that additional Contest Judge will be ranked higher.

   Potential Winning Teams are expected to be announced at approximately 7:00 PM AEDT on December 2, 2026.

   The decisions of the Judges with respect to the evaluation and scoring of Submissions, finalist selection, ranking of Finalist Teams and selection of Potential Winning Teams shall be final.

   Upon successful verification in accordance with these Official Rules, each eligible Potential Winner will be declared a “Winner.”

   Each Potential Winner is solely responsible for ensuring that their financial institution is able to receive and process the applicable prize payment and for notifying their financial institution in advance of any expected prize payment, if necessary. Sponsor will not be responsible for any delays, holds, rejections, returns, freezing, failure to receive, or failure to process any prize payment, or for any fees, charges, taxes, deductions, currency conversion costs, exchange rate fluctuations, compliance reviews, fraud reviews, regulatory requirements, or other issues arising from or relating to a Potential Winner's banking arrangements, financial institution, payment provider, account status, or failure to notify their financial institution of an incoming payment.

14. Dispute Resolution: You and Sponsor both agree to resolve disputes related to your participation in this Contest or these Official Rules (each, a “Claim”) in binding arbitration instead of court, except that either party may bring suit in court to enjoin the infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

    What is arbitration? Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury. Instead, a neutral person (the “arbitrator”) hears each party’s side of the dispute and makes a decision that is finally binding on both parties. The arbitrator can award the same relief as a court could, including monetary damages. While court review of an arbitration award is limited, if a party fails to comply with the arbitrator’s decision, then the other party can have the arbitration decision enforced by a court.

    Can a Claim be part of a class action or similar proceeding? NO. YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE YOUR CLAIMS WITH SPONSOR SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS PART OF A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. SPONSOR AGREES TO DO THE SAME, WHETHER OR NOT YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION. ACCORDINGLY, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION, YOU AND SPONSOR BOTH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE OR HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS A PLAINTIFF OR MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION.

    What rules apply in the arbitration? The arbitration will be conducted under the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”). The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.

    How will the arbitration be conducted? How much does it cost? The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA or a comparable arbitration body in the event the AAA is unable to conduct the arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

    Unless the arbitrator finds your Claim frivolous, Sponsor will pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees if your Claim is for less than $10,000, and Sponsor will not seek Sponsor’s attorneys’ fees and costs if Sponsor prevails in the arbitration. The arbitration may be conducted in writing, remotely (e.g., by videoconference), in San Francisco, California, United States or at some other location that we both agree to.

    How do I start an arbitration proceeding? To begin an arbitration proceeding against Sponsor, send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claim to legal@figma.com, 760 Market St, Floor 10, San Francisco, CA 94102. If Sponsor requests arbitration against you Sponsor will give you notice at the email address or street address you provided.

    Instructions for Opting-Out of Arbitration. If you don’t want to agree to arbitrate your Claims as explained above, then you can opt-out of this arbitration agreement by notifying Sponsor of your decision in writing at arbitration-opt-out@figma.com, 760 Market St, Floor 10, San Francisco, CA 94102. You must opt-out within 30 days of the date you first agree to these Official Rules.

    Dispute Resolution in the Absence of Arbitration. The sole jurisdiction and venue for any Claims that are not handled by arbitration will be the state and U.S. federal courts located in San Francisco, California, and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND SPONSOR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

    This section (Dispute Resolution) only applies to Claims between Sponsor and individuals, and is governed by The Federal Arbitration Act.

    If any provision of this section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this section shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this section of the Official Rules will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of the Official Rules.

    This section of the Official Rules will survive the termination of your relationship with Sponsor.

15. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, to cancel, modify and/or suspend this Contest at any time if fraud, technical failures, including any network server or hardware failure, viruses, bugs, errors in programming, or any other errors or other causes (such as force majeure events) impairs the administration, security, integrity or proper play of the Contest.
