Motivation
The judging process is very time consuming. When the winners are chosen there is a need to create a transaction from a multisig wallet and sign it by custodians to transfer prizes to the winners. Tonos-cli is a great tool but it takes time and effort and advanced technical skills to work with it, write commands etc. The idea of this contest is to offer multisig custodians handy tools that can speed up the process and make it more user-friendly.
General requirements
The submission can be any client and secure software: web dApp, application for PC/Mac/etc platform, browser extension, iOS or Android app. There are two major principles that should be considered while applying: security of master-phrase and friendly interface. The solution should give the users an option to create, see, check and sign a transaction from a multisig wallet in several clicks/taps.

Procedural remarks
- All submissions must be accessible for the jury to open and view, so please double-check your submission. If the submission is inaccessible or does not fit the criteria described, the submission may be rejected by jurors.
- Contestants must submit their work before the closing of the filing of applications. If not submitted on time, the submission will not count.
- All submissions must contain the contestant’s contact information, preferably a Telegram username by which jurors can verify that the submission belongs to the individual who submitted it. If not, your submission may be rejected.

- If your submission has links to the work performed, the content of those links must have the contestant’s contact details, preferably a Telegram username so jurors can match it and verify who the work belongs to. If not, your submission may be rejected.
- The work must be uploaded to the PDF and any links can only be used as support for the submission, but that only the work in the PDF will be judged.
- If the number of participants is less than the amount of prizes available, the excess prize awards are void.
Multiple submissions
- Each contestant has the right to provide several submissions if they are all different from one another. If they are too similar, or in any way appear to be partially the same work done twice, or if they appear to be one whole body of work divided into parts to create several submissions, jurors have the right to reject such submissions.
- If the contestant wants to make an additional submission to replace a previously published submission, the contestant must inform the jury about this fact and indicate which submission is the one to be judged. In this case, only the indicated work will count. If the contestant fails to indicate which submission to judge, only the first submission made will count. The Jury will reject all others.
