If you use Cloudflare's developer products and would like to share your expertise then Cloudflare's Developer Spotlight program is for you.

2. Technically accurate.
3. Entirely original, written only by you.
4. Written following Cloudflare's documentation style guide.

## How to apply

To apply to the program, submit an application through the [Developer Spotlight signup form](https://forms.gle/anpTPu45tnwjwXsk8). Successful applicants will be contacted by email.

## Account credits

Account credits can be used towards recurring monthly charges for Cloudflare plans or add-on services. Once a tutorial submission has been approved and published, we can then add 350 credits to your Cloudflare account. Credits are only valid for three years. Valid payment details must be stored on the recieving account before credits can be added.

## FAQ

### How many tutorial topic ideas can I submit?

You may submit as many tutorial topics ideas as you like in your application.

### When will I be compensated for my tutorial?

We will add the account credits to your Cloudflare account after your tutorial has been approved and published under the Developer Spotlight program.

### If my tutorial is accepted and published on Cloudflare's Developer Spotlight program, can I republish it elsewhere?

We ask that you do not republish any tutorials that have been published under the Cloudflare Developer Spotlight program.

### Will I be credited for my work?

You will be credited as the author of any tutorial you submit that is successfully published through the Cloudflare Developer Spotlight program. We will add your details to your work after it has been approved.

### What happens If my topic of choice gets accepted but the tutorial submission gets rejected?

Our team will do our best to help you edit your tutorial's pull request to be ready for submission; however, in the unlikely chance that your tutorial's pull request is rejected, you are still free to publish your work elsewhere.
