Ask for help. The team is always willing to assist with whatever problems you may have, and don’t be afraid to get family and friends involved—they might surprise you with the missing piece of your puzzle.

Get some sleep! You’re always more productive when you’re well-rested, so don’t burn through the night to finish things. Your health is a top priority! Speaking of…

Prioritize. Figure out what’s absolutely necessary and save fancy embellishments for later.

Search for references. If you don’t know how to do something, figure out how someone else did it!

Give good feedback. Good feedback doesn’t just help others—it helps you, too. We’re often blind to ourselves, so looking at another's work can be good self-reflection.

Receive feedback graciously. I mean—really receive it! You just got a goldmine of perspectives from people all around the world, so read and consider all of it! Don’t disregard them.

Browse the gallery. You’ll find some of the funniest, most enjoyable works here that might just inspire you in the future, and you’ll learn a whole bunch.

Be intentional. All creative choices should have a reason behind them, whether it’s as simple as being funny or as nuanced as the meaning of life.

Triple-check your work. Review your work multiple times before submitting. Check for missing audio or cut off endings.

Never give up! Something is better than nothing—if you can’t get it done on time, don’t be afraid to show us what you’ve got. You can always come back to add more later!
