Challengers can terminate their live streaming session at their own discretion. A live streaming session will need to last more than 2 hours to be considered valid.

• Q5: What if I miss the sign-up period for the hunger challenge?

  The start of the challenge week is the deadline for sign-up, which is strictly enforced for the fairness of all participants.

Challengers are allowed to drink water during the challenge, but eating food will be considered a termination of the challenge. Challengers are required to submit their homepage link during sign-up.
