Alternatively, you can search "TikTok Creator Growth Challenge" (for US) or "틱톡 성장 챌린지" (for KR) directly within the TikTok app to enter the official event page.
Q9: How long does it take to get the results after applying?
After submitting your application, the official TikTok and iMerl teams will jointly review your off-platform influence and content quality. You will typically receive the review result via email or in-app notification within 3-5 business days.
Q10: Are there any variables in the final reward distribution?
The final reward distribution is subject to the official review results after the project ends. The platform reserves the right to disqualify you from rewards if your account is found to have violations (such as fake followers, plagiarism, etc.), severely mismatched content quality, or fails to meet the basic rules of the program.
