Snapchatters love posting to their Stories and to Spotlight! Many of those videos are inspired by Lenses created by all of you. This Lensathon challenge is to create Lenses that are interactive, culturally relevant, and globally relatable. Lenses are at their best when they help the user tell a story, or express themselves, or even help them become a meme. Create Lenses that make people spring into action and create videos. Once you publish your Lens, be sure to show the world how to use it by posting your own video on Snapchat Spotlight.

All your Lenses should be tagged:
