A living reference for Community FEST 2026 — what the event is, how scoring works, what to do at each stage, and a checklist that tracks itself.
TikTok's biggest annual LIVE creator competition. Go LIVE consistently, earn points and diamonds, climb the leaderboard in your region — then globally.
Whichever card has the gold outline below is the stage currently underway — it updates automatically based on today's date.
Diamonds are the primary currency. Everything else — Bonus Hour, missions, Fan Club — is a multiplier or top-up on that base.
Roses, Super Chats, special gifts, Heart Me, and more.
TikTok calculates the diamond value based on the gift sent.
Bonus Hour stacked with Double Blast multiplies points by 2×.
Daily in-app tasks contribute bonus points on top.
Rankings sync live throughout the day, not just at the end.
A steady daily stream outperforms a single huge push — TikTok rewards momentum over time.
One daily 1-hour 2× multiplier. Use it during your highest-traffic window.
Viewer-triggered Double Blast stacks with Bonus Hour — coordinate both for maximum points.
Their activity directly contributes to your event score — keep them engaged throughout.
8 days where momentum is built or lost. You're competing against creators in your region for placement — rankings reset before Global, so this stage is purely about qualifying.
Stay close enough to the top that a strong push on the final day can land you in qualification range.
Go LIVE early. Set the tone. Announce Community FEST to your community.
Stream consistently. Use Bonus Hour. Start Fan Club activity.
Check ranking. Use battles if close. Keep community engaged with missions.
Notify your agency if close to qualifying. Plan a coordinated push for the final day.
Missing even one day costs significantly. Set a minimum daily stream time and stick to it.
Pick your highest-traffic hour and coordinate with your community to gift specifically during it.
Push viewers to join via Heart Me. Super Fans add extra points — more active members, more consistent support.
Tell your agency as soon as you're close to qualifying — don't wait until the last day.
The high-energy final push. You're now competing globally, not just regionally — every session counts, and so does your community showing up.
Maximum visibility. All features active. Planned push sessions, with supporters lined up and ready.
Know exactly when you're going LIVE each day. No improvising during Global Stage.
Post early. Tell them the dates, what's at stake, and when to show up and gift.
Decide your daily Bonus Hour window and coordinate Double Blast activations with Super Fans.
Share your schedule and push moments with your agency so they can amplify at the right times.
Daily LIVE is still mandatory — the gap between you and competitors is built on showing up.
Open with a clear ask: "We're in Global, here's how to help." Make it simple.
Cross-support with other creators — their off-hours audience can flow to your LIVE.
Your agency posts strategy updates, bonus windows, and ranking alerts there in real time.
A separate bracket-style global LIVE tournament running alongside Community FEST. Head-to-head match-ups, with your community supporting you in real time to advance.
Runs while Global Stage is also live (June 28 – July 2 overlap) — manage your energy, since both require active participation. Win your regional bracket to move to Group Stage.
Harder competition — you're now against winners from every region. Your community needs to be primed across multiple sessions during this window.
The final championship — winning here means global recognition. The whole event wraps in August 2026 with in-person celebrations worldwide.
Nothing here is optional. Every feature adds a small edge, and the edges compound.
Sent once per day to join your Fan Club. Signals loyalty and return presence to the algorithm — push it every stream.
Viewers who send Heart Me join, unlocking perks like private chat, emotes, and badges. More active members, more consistent gifting.
Your highest-tier supporters, replacing old subscriptions. Their activity contributes directly to your event score.
A 1-hour daily window where all points double. Your single most powerful lever — don't waste it.
Viewers can trigger this multiplier mid-LIVE. Coordinate with Super Fans to stack it on top of Bonus Hour.
Special event-only gifts that count more than regular gifts toward both diamonds and Community FEST tracking.
Pin announcements and CTAs inside your LIVE: "Gift Heart Me," "We're in Bonus Hour," "Vote now in Match Mania."
During matches, specific gifts trigger bonus multipliers. Know which ones in advance and brief your community.
Tap to check items off. Your progress is saved automatically, even if you close this page.
Miss nothing. Every LIVE session counts.
Consistency beats a single last-minute push, every time.
Keep your agency informed — they can only help if they know where you stand.
