🏆 Telegram UI Competition for iOS: Results

Out of the 27 total submissions, 23 implemented at least one animation flow – and 21 entries have earned rewards.

The new archive animations proved particularly challenging for all contestants – as no one was able to implement the provided design flow for every possible state of the chat list.

However, Hip Mantis deserves special recognition for their excellent implementation of the chat preview flow. For the strongest submission, Hip Mantis receives 🥇 1st PLACE – also noting their solid attempt at the archive animation and years of contest participation.

As previously announced, #overdue entries were accepted, while being moved down 1 place as a penalty.

Please meet the winners:

1st PLACE – $3,000
