Accounts and eligibility
- Use one platform account per person. Keep access to your sign-in method secure, provide accurate information and do not impersonate another person.
- You may browse without signing in. Voting and supporting require a platform account. To enter a creator, you must manage and connect an eligible Instagram Creator or Business account. No minimum follower count is required.
- You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or participate, including voting, supporting creators and entering a Round. Parental permission does not waive this minimum age. Public pages remain available to browse without an account.
- You are responsible for having the rights and permissions needed to submit a profile image, name, description and other content. Do not submit unlawful, infringing, deceptive or abusive material.
Entering a Round
A Round runs from Monday 00:00 UTC to the following Monday 00:00 UTC, normally with 30 places. A complete, eligible Entry is assigned to the earliest available eligible Round in submission order. If that Round is full, the next available Round is used. The confirmed date is shown on your Entry.
For the first public Round only, complete eligible Entries wait without an assigned date until 30 creators have entered. We then confirm one shared Monday with at least 3 full days of notice in your account. Waiting Entries can be edited or withdrawn. Later Rounds have no minimum participation threshold.
Choose the category that best describes the creator and provide a one-sentence description of no more than 60 characters. Scheduled details can be edited before the Round starts; the category locks when the Round starts. The earliest repeat participation is subject to a 180-day gap from the end of the creator’s previous Round.
You can withdraw a scheduled Entry before it starts. It will no longer appear in the Lineup. Participation does not require an email address. If you add and verify one, we can send future Round-date, start and result messages; these are service messages, not a newsletter subscription.
What becomes public
Connecting a verified creator creates a public creator profile. Your Entry makes its creator identity, category, description, Round and results public on the platform, including relevant rankings, Awards and share graphics. Your private platform email and individual voter/supporter identities are not published as part of those pages.
You retain rights in the content you provide. You grant the operator the non-exclusive permission needed to host, copy, display and technically adapt that content for these platform features and the sharing you request, for as long as needed to provide them subject to the deletion rules. This is not permission to sell your content or claim ownership of your Instagram profile.
People may share public links or save copies outside our control. Removing content from CreatorsPop cannot recall copies independently saved elsewhere.
Votes, support and fair participation
- Each signed-in person can cast one Upvote per Entry while its Round is live and can remove it while voting remains open. Supporting a creator is separate: it continues across Rounds and does not itself count as an Upvote.
- Do not create duplicate identities, automate votes, buy or sell votes, coordinate deceptive engagement, evade restrictions or exploit faults to manipulate a result. Sharing your Entry and inviting genuine people to participate is allowed.
- Administrators may investigate suspicious activity and invalidate votes confirmed to breach these rules. Review signals alone are not proof. Corrections require a documented reason and may change scores, rankings and Awards.
- If you believe a decision is incorrect, contact hey@creatorspop.com with the relevant Entry or Round and an explanation. Do not include sign-in links or credentials.
Results and Awards
Round rankings are based on valid Upvotes. Equal scores share the same position, with the next position skipped as appropriate (for example 1, 1, 3). Finalized results are saved, but confirmed integrity corrections can produce a revised result with an audit history.
Weekly Awards recognize the overall Top 3. Monthly and annual Awards recognize the overall and category Top 3 using finalized Round results whose end falls in that period; the strongest eligible Entry represents each creator in that ranking context. Weekly category rankings are shown separately, without a separate weekly category Award.
Awards are platform recognition, not a cash prize or a guarantee of reach, followers, income or professional success. CreatorsPop is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by Instagram or Meta.
Disconnection, removal and rights requests
Disconnecting Instagram, withdrawing an upcoming Entry, removing a completed public Entry and requesting deletion of platform-account data are different actions. Limited non-public records may be retained where justified for result integrity, security or legal obligations. Retained identifiers can still be personal data.
A verified Instagram data-deletion request removes imported Instagram identity/content and associated public presentation, but is not an automatic erasure of your Firebase/platform account. For a complete personal-data request, contact the privacy address in the deletion guide. Statutory privacy rights remain unaffected.
Availability, changes and legal rights
The service depends on hosting, authentication, email and Instagram services. Interruptions or revoked Instagram access may prevent a feature from working. Contact us if a technical error affects an Entry; do not attempt to bypass access or eligibility checks.
Material changes to participation rules will be communicated appropriately. They do not silently rewrite an already finalized result. Mandatory consumer rights and liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded remain unaffected; these terms do not impose a blanket exclusion of liability or a compulsory foreign court.
- Consumer dispute information
- We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
