The Best Plan Challenge

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.

Each participant can submit up to 3 plans from each category. Participants may choose any category within Keeps: travel, events or meal plans; if participants submit more than one plan, they may create plans in the same or in different categories, as long as they submit no more than 3 plans from each category.

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

2. Entry Requirements

Participants must submit their entries via email to [email protected] by August 7, 2026.

Each entry email must include:

• A link to your plan/s
• Your full name and address.
• Your email address and phone number.

Incomplete entries will not be considered.

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 August 7, 2026).

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

The winner plan will be announced on September 1, 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.

4. Prizes

First place prize is $500. Prize payment will be made by check, ACH transfer or another payment method selected by Keeps in its sole discretion. No cash or other alternatives will be offered; plus free access to Keeps platform for life.

Second place prize: $100. Prize payment will be made by check, ACH transfer, or another payment method selected by Keeps in its sole discretion. No cash or other alternatives will be offered; plus free access to Keeps platform for life.

Winners may be required to provide information reasonably necessary to verify eligibility and facilitate prize delivery.

Winners are solely responsible for any federal, state, local, or other applicable taxes associated with acceptance or receipt of a prize.

5. Use of Personal Information and Plans

Each plan entry will be evaluated, and may be presented on the Keeps website.

Participants retain ownership of their submitted plans. However, by submitting a plan, each participant represents and warrants that they have all necessary rights, permissions, and authority to submit the plan and any content included within it, and that the submission does not violate the rights of any third party.
