Get matched →This is a one-time pilot grant for small creators. Laiykin will buy one item (gear, software, supplies, or a course) up to $100 all-in, or pay the seller directly, for the selected creator. Applications are free.
Laiykin reads every application and makes the pick. Follower count (under 5,000) does not matter. Judging is based on a specific plan (40%), consistency in recent work (30%), originality and voice (20%), and how much the item unblocks your work (10%). Ties are decided based on the clarity of the plan. Finances, health, or personal hardship are not asked about and do not need to be shared. The winner is contacted by email and has 72 hours to confirm, or another applicant is picked.
The prize is one item or one-time purchase worth up to $100 USD, including tax and shipping, bought by Laiykin or paid to the seller directly. There is no cash alternative and no recurring subscriptions. Substitutions are made within the cap. A shipping address or store details are requested from the winner only. The winner is responsible for any taxes. The winner is named only with their permission.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
No purchase is necessary to enter. Following, reposting, or buying anything will not affect your chances. This is a one-time pilot (Round 1). Open to legal US residents aged 18 or older. Void where prohibited. Family members of Laiykin cannot enter. Only one entry per person. Applications are accepted from Oct 26, 2026, to Nov 8, 2026, 11:59 pm CT.
