We are attaching a breakdown of the Final Results for each submission.
1. Final Results:
Initially, for preliminary testing published on contest.com, we ran each test in a separate process. This allowed us to fully evaluate even solutions that crashed or hung on specific tests. However, this method disrupted many participants' performance optimizations and introduced substantial noise into the results.
Therefore, for the final evaluation, we executed all tests in a single process using a grader closely resembling the provided contest-grader.cpp. Consequently, solutions that crashed or hung on any test received a final score of 0.
2. Post-Contest Corrections:
After announcing preliminary results, several participants submitted bug fixes via comments on contest.com. Although we typically do not accept post-contest corrections, one corrected solution turned out to be significantly faster than any solution submitted during the contest. As an exception, we decided to evaluate all corrected submissions and include them in the final standings. To maintain fairness, these late submissions incurred a 20% penalty on the prize amounts awarded.

🏆 Telegram Android Contest 2024, Round 2: Results
In this Round, the contestants were invited to upgrade the interface of the existing in-chat camera and enhance it with the features from the Stories.
The judges greatly enjoyed the testing stage, taking thousands of photos, recording countless videos, and making more collages than they ever had before (and likely never would again). We would like to thank everyone for their contribution!
The core criteria we initially applied during evaluation was app performance. Each submission was tested on a high-performance device to ensure that the changes introduced by the contestants did not compromise the app's smoothness. This particular aspect proved to be quite challenging for the majority of contestants.
The rest we evaluated was the amount and quality of the features implemented, as specified in the contest task.
Please meet the winners!

🥇Earnest Pug
2nd PLACE – $4,500
🥈Dreamy Crab

Who can participate: Everyone, even if you didn't join Round 1
Results: December 2024
Telegram is hosting a contest for Android developers to enhance and upgrade the in-chat camera.
THE TASK
Adapt the existing in-chat camera with the camera for Stories, including all its features:
– Collages;
– Dual Camera Mode;
– Front Camera Flash;
– Widgets (for interactive widgets, i.e., reactions or links, your app may just apply a non-interactive entity over the canvas)...
Your implementation must remove any story-related restrictions or controls. Specifically, your app must not impose a limit on video length and should exclude interface controls that are only relevant for stories. Your app must retain the existing in-chat camera interface and flow before user opens the camera (i.e., the preview within the attachment menu).
Contest Requirements:
General
– Your app must provide a consistent and smooth recording experience that aligns with the device's native camera app.
– No third-party UI frameworks are allowed.
– The submission must be consistent with the existing Telegram for Android codebase.
– The app's stability and performance must not be affected with the changes you made.
– The app must be free of significant flaws (including crashes, visual glitches, noticeable element blinking, layout errors, and more).
❗️Your app must precisely follow the provided design mockups.
Note:
Submissions that introduce improvements to video recording are likely to receive higher scores in this contest.
Evaluation:
During the evaluation stage, we will review your code and test the submission on a wide range of Android devices.
Winners may be offered a chance to join the 🛫 Telegram Team.
Submissions:
Contestants will be able to submit their entries to @ContestBot at a later date. We will further clarify the submission instructions closer to the deadline.

🏆 Telegram iOS Contest 2024: Results
We appreciate your patience as we evaluated the results of this contest. The complex task and the initial requirements we outlined proved to be challenging to the majority of contestants.
Out of a total of 23 entries, 7 were disqualified for introducing changes that broke the application build process.
After confirming that the remaining apps could be built and included the features outlined in the contest task, we proceeded to the testing stage.
After many hours of testing and cross-checking the submissions, we discovered that only 4 out of the remaining 16 apps were able to play the HLS streams. Unfortunately, the approach used in these apps is far from optimal and, as a result, cannot be used.
Since we were also working on the same task under the release cycle with an even tighter deadline, here’s the approach currently used in the iOS app:
After evaluation, we have decided to split the prize fund in half and increase the total prize pool for Round 2 by an additional $25,000. Stay tuned for updates in Q1 2025.
Meet the winners!
2nd PLACE – $6,500
🥈Classy Whale
🥈Bold Wasp
3rd PLACE – $3,000
🥉 Tall Penguin
🥉 Subtle Cow
We have also decided to award 12 other contestants a bonus of $500 for their contributions, and we hope to see them in the prize-winning spots next time. (More details and check if you are on the list – on contest.com)
