Q & A

Q1: Can I submit more than one entry? Yes. However, each user (as defined by account, phone number, address, or email) may receive only one award. Q2: What qualifies as a valid submission? A valid entry must include a 3D model created using a 360° capture device and be published on Instagram, Facebook or r/insta360 Reddit. The post must include the hashtag #Turn360to3D and tag @antigravity_global. Q3: What are the originality requirements? All submissions must be original. Any music, images, or other assets must be properly licensed. False or misleading information will result in disqualification. Q4: When will I know if I’ve won? Winners will be contacted via direct message on Instagram or Facebook within 10 business days after the results are announced. Q5: Can I participate without owning a 360° camera? Yes. You may apply to borrow equipment through the Think Bold Challenge Fund, which provides access to supported devices. Q6: How are entries evaluated? Entries are assessed across five dimensions: Creativity (30%), Modeling Quality (30%), Interpretation of Theme (25%), Social Media Impact (10%), Product Utilization Bonus (5%). Final rankings are determined by total score, from highest to lowest.

Competition Rules

Competition Rules Each participant may submit multiple entries. However, only one entry per user is eligible to win (accounts sharing the same phone number, address, or email will be considered a single user). Entries must be submitted via Instagram, Facebook or r/insta360 Reddit with images or videos that include a 3DGS Splat or another 3D model created from a 360 capture. All entries must be original. Any music, images, or other materials used must be properly licensed and free of infringement. Submission of false information will result in disqualification, and the participant will bear all associated liabilities. By entering, participants grant Antigravity and Insta360 a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use submitted works for display, distribution, and derivative creation. If an entry involves third-party intellectual property or likeness rights, participants must secure full authorization. Any disputes or liabilities arising from infringement shall be the sole responsibility of the participant.
