How It Works

UpNext is a weekly competition for rising YouTube creators.

No ads. No mystery algorithm. No minimum subscriber count.

Enter free, earn points, compete for the top spot.

The weekly competition

  • ·Each week runs Sunday to Sunday at 8PM. A new competition starts at the reset.
  • ·Any YouTube creator can enter for free. Submit your channel URL and pick a category.
  • ·Your rank on the leaderboard is determined by your score, not your wallet.
  • ·The creator with the highest score at the Sunday reset wins the week and enters the Hall of Fame.

How scoring works

Points are earned from real engagement — not bought.

Someone visits your channel page+1 pt
Someone votes for your channel+3 pts
Someone shares your entry link+5 pts

Shares are the biggest multiplier. Bring your audience and climb fast.

What you can enter

One rule: YouTube channels only.

  • ·A YouTube channel URL or handle — e.g. youtube.com/@yourchannel
  • ·No Telegram, Discord, or other non-YouTube links. This is a creator leaderboard.
  • ·No adult or NSFW content.
  • ·Tracking and referral parameters are stripped from URLs automatically.

After you enter

  • ·You appear on the live leaderboard immediately.
  • ·Your score updates in real time as viewers visit, vote, and share.
  • ·Share your entry link to your audience — every click from them earns you points and moves you up.
  • ·You can enter the same channel again next week to compete in the following competition.

Winning

The creator at the top of the leaderboard when the week ends wins the featured spot — pinned at #1, promoted across UpNext, and permanently added to the Hall of Fame.

Your score resets each week, so every competition is a fresh start for everyone.
