Brand Battle FAQ: ⚔ What is Brand Battle? Brand Battle is a competition all about branding and identity. Competitors (referred to sometimes as battlers) are tasked to make brands or rebrands to fit a prompt set each round - examples include branding fictional/real companies, making identities based off a theme, redesigning other Scratch users and more. Winners of a Brand Battle are given the opportunity to host the next iteration of the competition. ⚔ How can I join Brand Battle? You can join the latest Brand Battle during the Signups round. This round allows anyone to enter, with only 32 entrants making it onwards to Round 1. If a Brand Battle is past the Signups stage, then you cannot officially join. However, you are free to follow the round prompts, it just won't be judge by Brand Battle or seen as an official entry. ⚔ How do I become a judge/host? Hosts of Brand Battles are usually winners of the previous iteration. You can become host by winning a Brand Battle. Asking to be a host will not do anything to help you. Judges are chosen because they are either a runner-up in the previous Brand Battle iteration or have experience judging Brand Battle and/or similar design-based competitions. Hosts choose their judges based on this criteria. ⚔ When is the next iteration? The next iteration of Brand Battle usually begins a few months after the previous one concludes. This allows the new host to be selected, for the host to select their judges, and to then create the competition itself.
