Frequently Asked Questions

How do competitions work?

Cravin' hosts optional themed competitions with a submission window. Winners are determined using a published judging rubric together with community voting, and top entries may win prizes.

Is there an entry fee?

Some competitions may have a small entry fee, while others may be free to enter. Each event shows its entry terms before you join.

How are winners decided?

Winners are determined by community voting. Every user can vote for their favorite dishes. We also have safeguards in place to detect and prevent fraudulent voting activity.

When do I get paid?

We initiate payouts on Sunday in Central Time. Banks usually post within 1-3 business days. First-time Stripe Express payouts can take about 7 days after verification.

Can I refund my entry?

If you withdraw before the official start time, you can request a refund according to that event's rules. If Cravin' cancels a competition, entry fees are refunded.
