8. All photos and videos submitted are screened by our team before going live. Only approved entries will be published on the Website and issued a unique competition entry profile.

Votes received after the closing time will not be counted. Entries close 3 days before the end of the month to allow our team to approve photos and videos. Children entered during this period will participate in the following month’s competition.
11. A registered and logged-in account is required to vote, earn free daily votes, play games, and make vote purchases on the platform. Creating an account is free. Voting and all vote-earning mechanics are only available to users who are actively logged in at the time of participation.
Voting is available through the following methods:
a) Free Daily Votes
Registered users who are logged in receive 8 free votes per day, automatically credited to their account at midnight each day. Free daily votes reset every 24 hours and may not be accumulated or carried over. These votes may be cast for any entry on the platform. Free daily votes are only awarded to users who are logged into their account – votes are not credited to accounts that are not active or logged in at the time of the daily reset.
b) Games Votes
Registered users who are logged in may earn bonus votes by playing games on our Games page. For every 1 minute of active, verified gameplay, the user earns 5 bonus votes, credited automatically to their account. Active gameplay means the user is actively interacting with the game – votes will not be credited for inactive sessions or open browser tabs where no activity is detected. Full games rules are set out in Rule 12.
c) Spin the Wheel Registered users who are logged in may spin the Cutie Clash vote wheel once per week for a chance to earn bonus votes. The number of votes awarded depends on where the wheel lands. Spin results are final and non-transferable. After spinning, the user may elect to watch a short advertisement to double the votes earned on that spin. Watching the advertisement is entirely optional. The ad-doubling mechanic applies to that spin’s result only and does not apply to any other votes in the user’s account.
d) Purchased Votes Additional votes may be purchased via credit or debit card and other payment methods as listed on our Buy Votes page. A registered and logged-in account is required to make any purchase. Current vote bundle pricing is displayed on the Buy Votes page and may be updated from time to time.
e) Flash Double Days From time to time, the Promoter will announce a Flash Double Day on the official Cutie Clash Pageant social media channels. On a Flash Double Day, any votes purchased via paid methods during the announced window will receive double the votes for the same price; meaning the purchase price remains unchanged but the votes credited are doubled. Flash Double Days are announced at the Promoter’s sole discretion, on random dates, with no fixed schedule. Free daily votes, games votes, and spin the wheel votes are not doubled under this mechanic. The doubling applies only to purchases made within the announced Flash Double Day window and will be clearly communicated on social media at the time of announcement.
12. Games – Specific Rules:
Games are available on the Games page of the Website and are accessible to registered users who are logged into their account. A valid, active login session is required to earn votes through gameplay.
Bonus votes are earned at a rate of 5 votes per 1 minute of active, verified gameplay. Votes are credited to the user’s account automatically at each 60-second interval of confirmed active play. Active play is defined as gameplay during which the registered user is demonstrably interacting with the game. Sessions where no interaction is detected will be paused and will not earn votes until activity resumes.
Six games are available on the platform. Users may play any combination of games, and votes accumulate across all games played within a session or day.
Games must be played manually by the registered user. The use of bots, scripts, automated tools, or any form of software assistance to play games, simulate activity, or earn votes is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate disqualification of the relevant account and forfeiture of all votes earned.
Votes earned through games are credited to the registered user’s account and may be allocated to any valid competition entry on the platform.
The Promoter reserves the right to add, remove, or modify games and their associated vote reward rates at any time without notice.
Any technical errors that occur during gameplay that result in incorrect vote allocation should be reported to hello@cutieclashpageant.co.za. The Promoter’s decision regarding disputed game votes is final.
13. To maintain fairness for all participants, the Promoter reserves the right to review and audit voting activity, gameplay sessions, and account behaviour at any time. Any patterns that appear irregular, fraudulent, or in breach of these Rules — including the use of multiple accounts, vote manipulation, automated voting or gameplay, or coordinated artificial vote inflation — will result in the suspension and disqualification of the relevant entry or user account. Votes or gameplay time removed in this way will not be refunded or reinstated.
14. Voters must have the account holder’s or bill payer’s permission before making any purchased vote transactions. The Promoter is not liable for any unauthorised charges. Proof of authorisation may be requested before any prize is awarded.
15. All vote purchases are processed securely via our third-party payment providers. The Promoter does not store payment card details. In the event of a technical failure during a vote purchase transaction, please contact hello@cutieclashpageant.co.za with your proof of payment and we will investigate and resolve the matter as quickly as possible. Completed vote purchases are non-refundable unless a confirmed technical error on the Promoter’s side prevented the votes from being credited.
16. At the close of each competition month, prizes and recognition are awarded as follows:
16.1 Top 3 Winners
The 3 entries with the highest total vote count at the close of the competition month are declared that month’s Top 3 Winners and each receive a prize as detailed on the Prizes page.
