The Rules
  • What to make: a post about Metroboard. Video on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube; video or image on X. The board has to be the star — real, powered on, and clearly the subject.
  • Name it: say or show “Metroboard,” tag @designrulesco, and put #Metroboard in the caption.
  • Disclose it: add #MetroboardContest to your caption.
  • Hit the line (views): Your post needs at least this many views on its platform to qualify for a prize.
    • Instagram 250,000
    • TikTok 400,000
    • YouTube Shorts 500,000
    • YouTube video (3+ min) 150,000
    • X 2,500,000
  • What you win: the top post over the line wins 10 Metroboards. Everyone else over the line splits 10 more. One prize per person.
  • When: post between Oct 19 and 11:59 p.m. ET on Nov 15. We record view counts the morning of Nov 16.
  • Enter it: submit each post’s link at designrules.co/win-submit. If you don’t submit it, it isn’t entered.
  • Keep it real: organic views only. No boosting, no bought views. Leave the post up and unedited until we’ve verified winners.
  • Don’t own a board? Use our free kit of clips and photos.
  • If you win: you’ll send us a screen recording of your post’s analytics, your video files (including a version without music), and you film an unboxing when the boards arrive.
  • US residents 18+. Read the full official rules.

Tips

  • Post early. Views are counted on Nov 16 no matter when you posted. A post on Oct 20 gets four weeks to climb; a post on Nov 14 gets two days.
  • Post everywhere. Every platform is a separate entry. The same video on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube is three shots at the line.
  • Say “Metroboard” clearly. It’s a requirement, and it saves you answering “what is this?” fifty times in the comments.
  • Keep a copy without music. If you win, we’ll need one. Easiest to export it before you post.
  • Turn off “Share to Facebook” on Instagram. Facebook views don’t count toward the threshold.
  • Don’t boost it. Paid promotion disqualifies the post, even a little.
