Deadline Extended for the Wix Studio Challenge

Due to the fourth of July holiday in the U.S. and some confusion around submission guidelines, we have decided to extend the deadline for the Wix Studio Challenge and give participants an extra week to work on their projects.

The NEW deadline for the Wix Studio Challenge is July 14. We will announce winners on July 16.

As such, we'll take this opportunity to clarify some elements of the challenge below.

All projects must be created with the Wix Studio Editor

The Wix Studio Editor and the standard Wix Editor are different platforms. To ensure you are working in Wix Studio, new users should take the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the Wix Studio page
  2. Click "Start Creating"
  3. Create an account
  4. Select "For a client, as a freelancer or an agency" and click continue
  5. Click "Go to Wix Studio"
  6. Click "As a freelancer"
  7. Select "Web Development" and click continue
  8. Click "Start Creating"

Usage of Wix Apps and Design Templates

You may use any App on the Wix App Market including those made by Wix (ie. Wix Apps), but you must start your project from a blank template. Please do not use any pre-built visual design templates.

Submission Template

The submission template should have pre-filled prompts for you to fill out. On the off chance that it does not, please ensure your submission includes the following:

  • An overview of your project
  • A link to your Wix Studio app
  • Screenshots of your project
  • Insight into how you leveraged Wix Studio’s JavaScript development capabilities
  • List of APIs and libraries you utilized
  • List of teammate usernames if you worked on a team

Here is the template again for anyone who was having trouble previously:

Challenge Overview

If you’re new to the challenge or couldn’t participate because of our previous deadline, consider this your lucky day!

We challenge you to build an innovative eCommerce experience with Wix Studio. Ania Kubów is our special guest judge, and we have $3,000 up for grabs for one talented winner!

You can find all challenge details in our original announcement post:

We hope this extra time gives all participants the opportunity to build something they are truly proud of! We can’t wait to see your submissions.

Happy Coding!

Hello, I would like to ask a question regarding the challenge, can I use icon files and images from the freepik free plan? If so, how should I reference their use? Should I create a website page or add a references file on github?

I can't speak to any individual license but if you have a license that allows you to use their icons and images then you can.
