Due to the Covid-19 crisis and school closures, we have extended the deadline for pack submissions to April 19th.
We are continuing to accept, review, and approve packs for early release. We are also expediting the processing of cash awards with most payouts within 48 hours of approval.
We're building a collection of the best published packs.
When it's ready, we'll make the collection available to every Plickers teacher so they can browse and discover your content right inside of Plickers.
The Creator Fund will be supporting and rewarding creators who contribute.
Every pack approved for early release will earn a $100 cash award from the Creator Fund.
To submit your public pack, check it fits the early release guidelines then click "Submit for Early Release" inside your pack. All K-12 English-language packs are eligible, and we'll accept submissions through April 19th.

Early Release Pack Guidelines
To ensure teachers have a fantastic experience discovering great classroom content inside of Plickers, packs for early release must meet the following guidelines:
1
Focused to a topic
Typically, packs should cover a topic area within a single subject: an entire course is too large in scope, and a single lesson of content is too small. However, provided they are comprehensive, course-review packs will also be considered.
2
Substantial
For the given topic area, packs are substantial and complete and contain multiple lessons worth of content. Packs should typically have between 50 and 200 questions.
3
Useful to teachers everywhere
Packs should be easy to understand and use, with a clear pack title and accurate subject and grade-level information. Packs should not reference or require external sources unless they are widely accessible.
4
Well-Organized
Pack contents are well-organized into clearly defined and well-labelled sets for each subtopic. Except in rare cases, folders and independent questions should be avoided.
5
High-quality questions
Questions are clear, rigorous, accurate, consistent, and engaging, with visual aids where helpful.
6
Original and meets Content Policy
Packs contents should be original and meet the Plickers Content Policy, including no objectionable content or copyright infringement.
How and when will cash awards be paid out?
Cash awards will be paid out via PayPal. After your pack has been approved and you have provided your PayPal address, we endeavour to send payments within 7 days.
Are all Plickers Creators eligible to submit a pack?
Generally, yes! Please note that cash awards will be distributed via PayPal, so you must be located in one of 200 countries around the world that support PayPal to receive a cash award. Also see additional detailed eligibility criteria for cash awards at the bottom of the page.
Are there any restrictions on which packs are eligible?
All packs must be in English language and target K-12 grade-levels.
Pack subject cannot be "Other", although e.g., "Science Other" is okay! Unfortunately, we are unable to review packs in other languages, or packs that exclusively target staff training or higher-education.
Note that existing packs are eligible to be submitted, as are packs with cash awards from the February Creator Fund round.
Each creator can earn up to a maximum of $1,000 in cash awards for early release packs.

How do I know if my pack has been approved?

Why does my pack have to meet the early release guidelines?
We want to offer a fast, easy experience for all Plickers teachers to discover great packs inside of Plickers. To do this, we've designed the guidelines so that teachers everywhere can quickly work out if a pack is suitable for their classroom and trust that the content inside is high-quality, accurate, and ready-to-use.
I don't see an option to submit my pack.
Packs that do not meet the eligibility requirements may not see the "Submit for Early Release" button. Double-check your pack language, subject, and grade-levels are correctly set. Send an email to help@plickers.com if you have any issues.
When do I have to submit my pack by?
