Dear ladies, the final 3 months have begun and it'll soon be clear who will be in the top10 to fight for the Miss Dukascopy Title.
No finals come without making the competition more exciting and serious. Therefore, some things will change.
Let's deal with July first.
Starting with August, we are introducing the extended Cheerleader Committee, that will include Dukascopy Team members from different offices - Geneva, Hong Kong, Riga, Kiev. In this respect, we'd like to encourage participants to post Contest content in English to make it easier for us to evaluate participants' performance. To facilitate your collaboration and enforce the international status of the Contest, we will be giving 100 extra social points to the participants who post at least 50% of content in English.
Rule changes:
The final 3 months are going to be more exciting in terms of the tasks you are going to make and more demanding - the title of Miss Dukascopy is at stake and the sponsors are continuing to sign up to support the contest. The overall prize fund for the Miss Dukascopy 2014 title now exceed USD 150 000.
Good luck further on!
P.S. Rules will be amended shortly.

- We've spotted that some of the participants were using bots and chain registrations to boost their ratings. This is not acceptable. Therefore the likes/comments obtained that way will be deleted.
- Starting with this month, to like content user will have to validate both his e-mail and mobile phone. What is more, no more than 10 likes for one participant will be registered for 1 day. Please note that in the process of due diligence we might be calling random fans to ensure they are real people. In case of fraud, popularity points will be deleted TOTALLY.
- Mathematical algorithms will be running to ensure that there is no bot-like behavior with liking/commenting. This output will be registered and the fake likes/comments will be deleted.

Rule changes:
- Dukascopy rating is introduced. It will be based on the subjective opinion of the extended committee on grounds of content quality and fairness. In other words - if you are fair, honest and doing a great job from our perspective - you'll have great rating. This will make 25% of the total evaluation
- Social points - you'll receive 10 points instead of 50 when your friend instalsl the mobile application. Instead of 5 points for conversations, you'll receive 10. We want to encourage participants to actually use the app. All the fake installations will be reduced from rating. Note that attempts to lawyer around the rules will eventually become evident and will negatively influence the Dukascopy Rating.
- Dukascopy Compliment - 100 social points are awarded to the participants on the monthly basis given that at least half (50%) of their posted within the scope of Miss Dukascopy content is in English.
- No more than 10 likes to one participant are allowed to be placed by a single user within a single day.
