Cash challenges
PICK A CHALLENGE.
POST YOUR SHOT.
WIN THE CASH.
VAULT helps businesses market and interact with people in a fun, authentic way. Brands and Sponsors will fund a real cash challenge; anyone with a phone can enter. No portfolio, no follower count, no experience required. The community votes on finalists, then the sponsor or the crowd picks the winner and escrow pays out.

The loop
FUND. SHOOT. VOTE. PAY.
- 01
A sponsor funds a pool
The prize is locked in escrow before the challenge goes live, so everyone knows the money is real.
- 02
Anyone enters with proof
One photo or a short video shot on your phone. No stock, no AI-generated entries, no experience needed.
- 03
The community votes
Upvotes decide the finalists. The sponsor or the crowd picks the winner — every brief clearly states who decides.
- 04
Escrow pays out
The winner is paid to a verified bank account once selection and checks are complete.
For sponsors
MARKET BY CHALLENGE. ENGAGE WITH CASH.
Turn your marketing budget into an interactive campaign people actually want to join. Post a brief, set the pool, and receive dozens of real, on-brief entries from real people — authentic content and audience engagement for less than a single agency shoot. You pick the winner from the community's finalists.
For everyone else
NO SKILL NEEDED. JUST SHOW UP & FOLLOW THE CHALLENGE RULES.
Entering is free and open. Snap it, upload it, and let the crowd decide. Spectators keep the feed honest by voting on what actually deserves the pool.
For creators
SHOW YOUR WORK. BUILD YOUR PARTNERSHIPS.
Post and share photos or short videos to your public Showcase feed. Brands browse real work, discover talent, and start conversations that lead to paid collaborations — not just challenge wins.
Why VAULT
STRAIGHT RULES, NO SURPRISES

No portfolio, no follower minimum, no gear list. A phone and an idea is the entry ticket.
Community-judged
Upvotes pick the finalists. The sponsor can also choose the winner — every brief clearly states who decides.
