X Offers $1 Million Prize for Top Long‑Form Article as It Ramps Creator Payouts

Eligibility is limited to U.S. Premium users with original articles judged on Verified Home Timeline impressions.

Overview

  • The $1 million award will go to the best‑performing long‑form Article in the next creator payout period.
  • Entries must be original pieces of at least 1,000 words, with performance judged primarily by impressions from Verified users’ home timelines.
  • Only U.S.-based Premium subscribers are eligible, and content that violates X policies, including hateful, fraudulent or manipulative material, is ineligible.
  • X doubled its revenue‑sharing pool, expanded Articles access to all Premium users, and plans to add a real‑time earnings dashboard in the creator studio.
  • The platform said it just closed its highest payout period to date, and outside reports have noted declines in users, downloads, ad sales and revenue.
