How it works
- Sign in with your UC Davis email. Tide is students-only, so your .edu is how we know you actually go here. You get a one-time code, no password to remember.
- Do any of the four things above. Each one enters you in that prize's draw. Do all four and you're in all four.
- That's it. Your entries are recorded automatically as you go. Open the giveaway card at the top of your feed any time to see which ones you've got.
Common questions
Do I have to do all four?
No. Each step is its own separate draw, so doing one thing enters you in one draw. Doing all four puts you in all four, which is four separate chances at a prize.
What if I already did some of these?
You're already entered. Anything you'd done before the giveaway started counts, you don't need to redo it.
Do I have to pay anything?
No. Tide is free and there's nothing to buy. There's also a no-app way to enter, described in the official rules.
How are winners picked?
At random, once entries close. Each draw records the random seed it used, so the result can be checked afterwards rather than just taken on trust.
How will I know if I won?
We'll message you in the app and email the address you signed up with. See the official rules for the full detail.
