Do I Have to Submit a Picture With My Challenge Submission?

While you don't have to submit a picture with your submission, it is highly recommended! Let your colleagues see you in your element while you're participating - and feel free to celebrate others' submission pictures also by reacting or commenting!

Who Can See My Challenge Submission, Once Submitted?

Most Shaka Challenges are meant for public eyes and to spark public chatter; however, there are a few Challenges that encourage mindfulness and self reflection. You will be notified if only your administrative team has access to your submissions, otherwise assume all participants can see your submissions. Keeping this in mind, it's always best practice to keep submissions appropriate - if you wouldn't post it in a public channel, don't submit it via Shaka Challenges.
