Today we’re announcing the winner of the $1 Million Prize plus the Honorable Mentions.
Over the last couple of weeks, tens of thousands of creators published original Articles that informed, challenged, and shaped conversations across 𝕏. We’re grateful for the effort that went into every submission, and we worked carefully behind the scenes to protect the integrity of the contest by auditing the authenticity of each submission.
The Grand Prize
The Top Article by US Verified Home Timeline impressions was written by @beaverd. The article examines the role of a major government consulting firm in federal and state IT systems, analyzing contract data, audits, and documented system failures.
Congratulations, you’re a millionaire.
The Runner Up Prize
The quality of submissions made it clear we couldn’t recognize just one.
The runner-up by Verified Home Timeline impressions is @KobeissiLetter, who provided a real-time breakdown of global tariffs and geopolitical trade shifts — helping millions contextualize the market volatility. We’re awarding $500,000.
Creator Choice Award
We are also recognizing the creator who inspired this contest: @thedankoe.
Dan wrote the best-performing Article in the history of 𝕏 and he consistently publishes thoughtful content on personal development. One of his recent Articles—which also ranked among the top performers during the contest—presents a structured framework for developing deep focus, clarifying priorities, and building long-term leverage. We’re awarding $250,000.
Honorable Mentions
Finally, the Articles below stood out for overall impressions and the conversations they ignited on the platform. Together, they span a range of cultural, social, and economic topics — from public policy and geopolitics to history and public safety. Each is recognized with an Honorable Mention and a $100,000 award.
