CHALLENGE DETAILS
The goal of this challenge is to design the look and feel of a Desktop experience.

Problem: let’s Celebrate!

Winning challenges, winning a placement, or achieving a new ranking or certification at Topcoder is something you should be proud of. Topcoder members spend hours sweating, thinking, and striving to land first place or achieve a new competition rating. Winners receive a cash reward when they place among the top positions (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) but is that the only way to reward and celebrate the effort?
Survey insights tell us that Topcoder members are interested in spreading the news of their accomplishments through different channels such as social media, public pages, profile updates, or portfolios. We are looking forward to enhancing the “Victory Celebration” experience for Topcoder members. They are proud of their victories! How can we help them share the news?

For the next 60 minutes, we would like you to focus on the Desktop user experience of a Topcoder member sharing their victory. This should be fun! They can share via Facebook or LinkedIn, Instagram, etc., their latest victory or accomplishment at Topcoder.
