🏆 Design Contest 2026, Round 2
Deadline: 23:59 Dubai time @ May 17, 2026
Who can participate: only those who secured 🥈2nd or 🥉3rd places in Round 1.
📱 Telegram announces an express round of the Design Contest for selected winners of our previous competition.
The Task:
Identify weak spots in existing features of our official apps (Android, iOS, Telegram Desktop) and propose improvements – fixing the flaws and making the target features more elegant, convenient, simple, clear, or even more modern.
Contest Requirements:
1. You may submit up to 2 features.
2. Submissions must be in Before / After format.
3. Static only mockups are acceptable when no animation changes are involved.
4. Anything is within the scope – copy, spacing, colors, visuals – as long as the change noticeably improves the user experience.
Standout submissions will receive additional reward of up to $1,000 per each feature you improve. The best of you may get a chance to join the Telegram Team.
🏆 Design Contest 2025: Results
🧠 Our most challenging Design Contest to date turned out to be a great success. This time, designers faced the complex task of crafting not just a standalone feature, but the foundation of an entirely new way to communicate on Telegram – and to manage that flow.
🌈 It was truly rewarding to come across so many gems out of 192 submissions – thank you. We spent more than a hundred hours reviewing each one, and dozens more discussing the ideas that stood out.
With so many strong concepts in play, none decisively outperformed the others – so no one secured 1st place.

📱 Telegram is hosting a contest for iOS developers to bring Liquid Glass effects to older versions of iOS.
THE TASK
Implement custom versions of some of the Liquid Glass effects and the relevant interface flows into Telegram for iOS so these appearances work on iOS 18 and older.
You must precisely replicate the animations and look and feel (highlight on tap, scale-up, bounce, and stretching) on the glass elements. This applies in particular to:
– The tab bar
Omit background blur behind the bar itself, while preserving the glass lenses’ ability to blur the bar’s own content.
– Buttons
This includes attach menu icon, voice and video message recording buttons, etc.
– Switches and sliders
Only the moving element itself should apply blur.
Contest Requirements:
– Support for iOS 18 is mandatory.
– No third-party UI frameworks or new dependencies are allowed.
– The submission must be consistent with the existing Telegram for iOS codebase. You may reuse what is already included in the app's codebase.
– Changes must not negatively affect performance, memory usage, or app stability.
We will announce detailed submission instructions closer to the deadline. The final submission must be your implementation integrated into Telegram for iOS, not a standalone demo app.Читать полностью…

🏆 Telegram iOS Contest 2025: Results
💎 This contest was a rare case where we ourselves tried to solve the same task we outlined in the competition. We started at almost the same time and achieved a satisfactory result within a week.
😎 We hoped that some of the participants would achieve a similar result using the same approach, and we were glad to see that this indeed happened.
😑 Curiously, this competition also proved that more and more people are getting their hands on the latest AI tools, though so far this has not helped them much – several AI-slop entries were discarded as worthless.
🤲 We indeed had some fun testing all your apps, enjoying all those transitions and glassy effects. Thank you once again for all the contributions. We are glad that more and more of you have the courage to participate in our contests.
Enough said: meet the winners!

🏆 Design Contest 2025
Prize fund: $50,000 or more
Deadline: 23:59 Dubai time @ December 15, 2025
Who can participate: Everyone
📱 Telegram announces its most epic Design Contest, where top prize winners will each secure $10,000 and may also get a chance to join the Telegram Design Team.
THE TASK
Design a concept for Telegram Nodes entirely from the ground up, while preserving the familiar components of Telegram’s interfaces. It must feel seamless and aesthetically compelling while remaining clear and intuitive for users.
Nodes act as separate instances within the app that help users organize and streamline their communication flows – from personal to work. Nodes go far beyond simple chat folders or groups with topics enabled.
You may think of them as Discord-like servers or Slack-style workspaces that can contain multiple chat types, including voice and video chats, support in-depth admin management and user roles.
Users who join Telegram Nodes can set a profile picture, bio, and name that differ from their main account. They can then switch between Nodes and their main Telegram inbox – for example, via the left-side menu, which lists all their Nodes alongside any other Telegram accounts they’re logged into.
1) The layouts can be implemented as static .png files. For the animation demos, use .mp4 format (without sound).
Source files and properly structured Figma projects are also welcome.
2) For included videos, you must also provide several static .png images from each video that serve as a storyboard.
3) If you use complex animated icons, they must be in lottie json or .tgs format.
🏆 Telegram Android Contest 2025, Round 1
🎉 This contest turned out to be one of the most successful and fruitful we’ve ever held.
👋 We’re pleased to welcome so many new participants from around the world who joined one of the most challenging coding competitions.
🧱 Out of 90 initial entries, the number of actual app submissions was slightly lower – and we had to further discard some that were either empty or non-functional.
🛠 The Telegram Android Team had to rebuild a couple dozen apps that either didn’t follow the submission guidelines or broke something – so a 10% penalty was applied to their winnings accordingly.
🤑 Given the number of participants and the overall quality of entries, the judges decided to double the prize fund, boosting it to $100,000. This way, we ensured that no worthy submission would be left behind and our recognition could be fairly distributed among all of you who participated.
⏰ After tens of hours spent reviewing all the apps, we can say with confidence – many have far exceeded our expectations. Congratulations, and our deepest thanks to everyone who took part in the competition.
Please meet the winners!

There is one more thing.
Although the winner list cannot be stretched further, we’ve decided to increase the prize fund anyway and award even more submissions with bonuses – each contestant in the list below will receive a bonus of $300. We strongly advise you to keep these bonuses – they may be of a great use for R2.

ContestBot is now ready to accept submissions for the Android Contest 2025, Round 1.
⚠️ Deadline reminder: July 11, 23:59 (Dubai time). Late submissions will not be accepted.
Start the bot, choose “Android Contest 2025 R1”, answer the bot’s questions, then send:
- An .apk file (release build). Make sure your code uses your own api and package ID, and that login works with the production server in the submitted build.
- A link to the commit on a public GitHub repository, forked from the Telegram-Android repository.
Note: Your repository may stay private until the deadline. Entries that are not using their own package id will be penalized.
We are pleased to issue the following clarifications regarding the Android Contest.
Q: Do I need to build these screens as a standalone project?
A: You must implement the new screens directly into the Telegram for Android app, fully preserving all existing profile features. To sum up – the new design flow must replace the current one.
Q: How will I submit my work and what will I need to provide?
A: You’ll need to submit both: an .APK file, and a link to your GitHub repository. For reference, here are the submission guidelines from one of our previous Android contests.
Q: Can we get the source files for the design mockups and animated demo?
A: Please use the files that have already been provided.
Q: Can I use X, Y, Z?
A: You must use Java without any third-party UI frameworks – and you should avoid introducing new dependencies into the project. To sum up – any changes you make must remain consistent with the existing codebase.
Q: What are the floating icons that get hidden when a profile is collapsed?
A: These icons come from either the custom profile appearance or from an active gift. For reference, check out @durov.
Q: Can we further utilize the camera cutout position on certain devices?
A: Absolutely.
Q: Do I really need to build the profiles from scratch?
A: We do not impose any restrictions on whether you should build it from scratch or not – focus on the outcome from the user’s perspective. What matters most is the quality and polish of the final result. That said, a from-scratch approach would be more beneficial in the context of eliminating legacy bugs.
Q: Can we have mockups for the Settings screen?
A: Feel free to implement this screen as you see fit. We consider this as a bonus task.
Q: Which link should we send in 'Profile Default 3.png'?
A: If the other party has incoming calls restricted, send them a link via 'Calls' → 'Create Call Link'.
Q: The icons provided earlier have a solid background.
A: We apologize for the inconvenience. We are attaching below the updated icons.
