Description of the announced contests

Hello Maker World team. I love your contests and I enjoy participating in them. However, I have a small request. Could you please add some short descriptions to the contests announcements?
Water Spray contest example.
The name may suggest that the contest will involve various types of toys, gadgets, tools related to water spraying. I spent the last week perfecting my sprinkle rockets and now when the contest is launch it turns out it’s about water guns using the electric water spray kit and it turns out that my rocket doesn’t quite fit the theme. I could have spent this week building a water gun if I had known that this was what the contest was about.

Dear Sevro,

Thank you so much for pointing this out. In our update in May, we will incorporate more detailed descriptions into the upcoming schedule to avoid further confusion and misunderstandings.

@MakerWorld Can you confirm if entries without the kits will be disqualified or penalized, such as through point deductions?

Also, the “Electric Water Spray Kit” is mentioned under Theme & Prize, not Contest Rules.

To be honest, I’m hesitant to enter the contest because of this.

Yes, thank you, this has been pointed from multiple users to add the description of the contest before when it is on the upcoming contest bar.

especially titles such as Crown contest…

Thank you for your quick and promising answer. The description for the contest announcements will certainly increase the number of models matching the theme :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi protoboard.
Using our official kit is suggested, not requested.
Sorry for the confusion. Thank you very much.
