Welcome to Doodle Twist, a free daily drawing challenge. By subscribing or submitting a drawing, you agree to these terms. Questions? Email mail@doodletwist.com.

The service

Account holders can choose to receive one drawing prompt per day by email, by text, both, or neither — these are independent, optional notification settings chosen at signup, not an either/or choice. The daily prompt is also always available on our Instagram story and the Doodle Twist homepage, so no notification option is required to participate. Creating an account also lets you submit a drawing for each prompt. Submissions are automatically reviewed, approved entries are posted publicly, and one winner is picked per prompt. It's a game — winning gets you bragging rights, not prizes or payment.

Text messaging program

• Opt-in: texting is off by default. You opt in with a dedicated consent checkbox at signup, separate from agreeing to these Terms and the Privacy Policy — it's never pre-checked and never bundled with any other agreement.
• Program: one recurring automated text per day with the daily drawing prompt, plus an occasional note if you win. Message frequency: about 1 message per day.
• Opt-out: reply STOP to any message to cancel. Reply HELP for help, or email mail@doodletwist.com.
• Cost: we don't charge for texts, but message and data rates from your carrier may apply.
• Consent to receive texts is not a condition of signing up — you can opt into email notifications independently, opt into both, or skip messaging entirely.
• Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Your submissions

• Only submit drawings you made yourself. By submitting, you confirm the work is yours.
• You keep ownership of your art. You grant Doodle Twist a non-exclusive license to display it — on this website, and on our Instagram account if it wins — along with your username/handle and caption.
• Want a submission taken down? Email us and we'll remove it from the site.
• Submissions must follow our content standards: no nudity, violence, hate, harassment, or other content that would violate Instagram's Community Guidelines. Submissions are screened automatically and may be rejected without notice.
• One submission per prompt, please.

Your public profile

• Every account gets a public profile page at doodletwist.com/profile.html?u=yourusername, linked automatically anywhere your name appears on the site (the archive, this month's submissions, etc.). It's also findable through our profile search page.
• From your account settings, you can add an optional bio and choose up to 6 of your own past submissions to feature on your profile. Both are optional and off by default — your profile page works fine with neither set.
• Anything you put in your bio is public. Don't post anything there you wouldn't want a stranger to read, and the same content standards that apply to submissions (no nudity, violence, hate, harassment) apply to your bio too.
• You can deactivate your account at any time from your account settings. This takes your public profile down entirely — visitors see the same "not found" message they'd get for a username that was never registered — and pauses notifications and new submissions. Reactivating restores everything.

Fair play

Winners are selected by an automated scoring process. We may reject submissions or remove subscribers who abuse the service (spam, impersonation, plagiarized work, attempts to game scoring). Our decisions on winners and takedowns are final.

Eligibility

Doodle Twist is not directed at children under 13, and you must be at least 13 to subscribe or submit.

Disclaimers

Doodle Twist is provided as-is, free of charge, with no warranties. We may change, pause, or discontinue the service at any time. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Doodle Twist is not liable for any damages arising from your use of the service.

Changes

If we make meaningful changes to these terms (like adding paid plans), we'll update this page and the date at the top. Continuing to use the service after changes means you accept them.
