Quirkies Announces GIF Contest Winners and Monthly Creative Challenges
**Quirkies has selected over two dozen winners** from its first community GIF contest, with thousands of dollars in prizes distributed via The Quirk Wheel. The web3 brand, which has accumulated 64M GIF views, launched the contest across 20+ categories to engage its community in content creation.
**Key developments:**
- Winners announced in Discord under #gif-contest-winners
- Some categories had multiple winners, others none - to establish quality standards
- Monthly contests will continue with new categories
- GIPHY account cleaned up, removing low-quality and inappropriate content
**Brand direction:** Quirkies is positioning itself as a family-friendly brand focused on "laughter, fun, and abundance" while avoiding political, substance-related, or violent content. The initiative aims to make community-driven GIF creation a core part of Quirkies culture.
The contest featured Kirk the Quirk, the brand's main character, with quality standards maintained throughout the selection process. Future monthly challenges will offer ongoing opportunities for community participation and rewards.
