Hi BelYT, thanks for getting involved in this reward. Your submission hit the minimum requirements of the brief, but there was an emphasis on quality that's reflected in the prize. A few things that counted against your submission in that regard:

• The vertical alignment for shortform content is great, but more than half the screen space was taken up by static images. Many creators zoom in or alter the resolution to retain the vertical orientation while keeping the gameplay footage in a more prominent position. The images were also cut in half, with text and characters' faces interrupted.

• We didn't see a great deal of added value in the reel itself - it was simply a series of gameplay clips with some transitions, and no additional editing flair or audiovisual touches. For this reward, we were hoping to see some editing choices that accentuated the gameplay.

• We also weren't sure why you chose the gameplay clips you did - they didn't seem to stand out?

Your submission may have qualified on a lower-prized or less exacting highlights reel reward, but a higher reward prize will usually require a higher standard of quality, and with only seven prizes of $35 each, we intentionally set a higher bar on this one, which I think the reward description makes clear.

Hope this helps - you're welcome to delete or edit your submission and try again.
