Posts in ‘News features & updates’

At eYeka, the whole team is in a perpetual state of alert to improve the website according to your needs. We develop our tools to closely follow your suggestions, simplify the site’s access and functionalities. Thus some new functions replace older ones that became obsolete.

Today we would like to talk to you about the «Upload media» function in your eYeka account. To participate in contests, a few of you got lost in the actual steps on how to use this function. Unfortunately, uploading this way was not meant to enable you to engage in our contests! Therefore, we have decided to modify this function because too many creations got lost in limbo…

“But how do I participate in contests?”

Everything happens on the contest page where you can access the summary, brief, contents, discussion forum, and the upload page in just one click! Thus you’re confident to engage in that particular contest!

Another thing is you can now submit PDF entries into our contests! A lot of you were wondering whether you can actually submit PDF files for insights contests, and now we are happy to inform you that yes, you can do it!

These improvements are ongoing and reflect our will to ease your experience on eYeka. We will keep on doing out best for you, our #1!

This is only the beginning, let’s co-create the future together! Don’t hesitate to ask us questions, share comments and ideas by clicking on the “Support” tab (it’s located on the left side of your screen on our website)

Hi everyone,

Good news! Philips has decided to increase the prizes of the contest. They appreciate your effort and creativity in making the videos/animations, and so they would like to award you with higher prizes!

The new prize structure will be as follow:

1^st Prize: EUR 5,000
2^nd Prize: EUR 2,500
3^rd Prize: EUR 1,500

So now we have a total prize of EUR 9,000 for you!

Exciting? We think it is, and we hope you think so, too

Another thing is, the contest deadline will be extended to 11 December 2011. Reason being is because we didn’t receive 20 entries as a minimum number in order for Philips to select the winners.

Some of your entries will be featured on Philips.com/plus as well!

So come on guys, tell us your personal story of how health and well-being looks like in your community.

We look forward to inspiring stories from you

Today we have something new for you on eYeka. In our efforts to bring you the outstanding services you deserve, we are trying to simplify everything as much as possible and make it user friendly.

Below, on the image, you can see how we have restructured our website:

What used to be on “My groups” is now directly on “My eYeka”, saving you some extra clicks!

This is only a first step to make it easier for you to keep track of the contests you have joined. Furthermore, we have added a link saying “Calls for entries” – follow it and discover all that is running on eYeka at the moment.

At the moment you can only see two contests but we will shortly add more info on all the contests that you have joined. Please, bear with us, just a little longer!

There is something new on eYeka!

Early risers may have noticed a new section on their “My eYeka” page. Indeed, a new feature has been launched today: The eYeka Reward Badges!

Taking up a system which has already been used by the most avant-gardist online communities, the use of badges is a dynamic reward process which enlightens your activity on eYeka. A single type of badges can display a variable amount of stars which are representative of the activity that you reached on eYeka.

5 types of badges have been defined so far:
- Awarded Prizes
- Received and Given Votes
- Received and Given Comments
- Call For Entries Participations
- eYeka’s Home Page Showcases

Find out more about the designs and the different categories of badges below.

This rewards system is brand new on eYeka and the Beta version is currently available. Therefore, we can’t wait for your feedback on this new feature! So please, do not hesitate to leave your comments on this blog post and to share your thoughts on how to improve the system. Also, let us know if you feel like taking care of the design of these badges at the time of a call for entry, not for a brand this time, but for yourselves! You’ve got an overflowing creativity, and we know that!

Wishing you a fully starred profile, we can’t wait to read from you!
