Official Rules

Keeps is built around sharing high-quality, trusted plans, that are created by using human knowledge and experience. The Competition is designed to highlight plans that are exceptional, thoughtful, and genuinely useful to the community.

By participating in The Best Plan Challenge (the “Competition”), you agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. Eligibility

The Competition is open to individuals aged 18 or older residing in the United States.

Employees, affiliates, and executives of Keeps (and their immediate family members) are not eligible to participate.

Participants may submit a plan in the category of their choice: Travel, Events, or Meals. Use original photos and share your plan with others to earn extra points. Each participant may submit up to three plans.

No purchase is necessary to enter or win. Void where prohibited by law.

Each entry email must include:

3. Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

Entries will be judged solely by Keeps, at its discretion, based on its interpretation of “the best version” received. Factors considered include: originality, use of original photos, authenticity of the plan, how elaborate the plan is, visual presentation, accuracy, and other factors reflecting the overall usefulness and quality of the plan.

Keeps is a curated platform and plans are evaluated primarily on quality, usefulness, and how valuable they are for others who may wish to follow them.

To receive additional points, participants may share their plans with friends and invite others to save the plan on Keeps. The number of users who save a plan may account for up to 25% of the final evaluation. Saves will be counted only during the Competition window (through September 7, 2026).

Saving a plan requires creating a Keeps account and adding the plan to saved plans.

The winner plan will be announced on October 7, 2026 on our social media accounts or via direct email.

The decision of Keeps is final and binding.

Keeps reserves the right to verify eligibility, review submissions for compliance with these rules, and disqualify any participant who provides false information, attempts to manipulate the voting, saving, or judging process, uses fraudulent means to participate, or otherwise violates these terms and conditions.
