CAN I REFER ANOTHER SNAPDRAGON INSIDER TO THIS INITIATIVE?
Absolutely! We encourage you to refer other Snapdragon Insiders you know who might enjoy access to devices, events, and tech experiences to create content for their own audience.
DO I HAVE TO GIVE THE DEVICE BACK?
Sometimes. The Snapdragon Insiders Access Program involves both loaning and gifting devices. Whether or not a device will need to be returned depends on the specific device and will be stated up front when asking if you’d like access to the specific device.
DOES QUALCOMM TECHNOLOGIES LIMIT WHAT I CAN DO WITH THE DEVICES?
No. The devices we provide are for you to test, experience, and use as you see fit — we won’t limit your creativity! We’ll provide mentorship support for upping your content creation game to help you realize your vision, but we won’t dictate how or what you create.
WHO OWNS THE CONTENT WHEN IT’S COMPLETE?
You do! Our goal is to support the talented creators within the Snapdragon Insiders community. You own your intellectual property (IP) from start to finish. We kindly ask that you grant us license to use your content so that we can continue to promote our Snapdragon Insiders community and the various products/services featuring Qualcomm® technologies.
HOW WILL QUALCOMM TECHNOLOGIES EVALUATE APPLICATIONS?
We have a small internal team that will carefully review every application. If we need additional details or decide to select you, we will reach out to you. If you do not hear back from us, don’t worry — you will be kept in mind for future opportunities. Your application will be evaluated based on the content you provide during the application process.
CAN I APPLY FOR MORE THAN ONE AREA?
Absolutely! While filling out your application, please select all the areas you’re interested in creating content.
IS THERE A DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING MY APPLICATION?
No. The Snapdragon Insiders Access Program is launching on January 25, 2023 and will be ongoing. You can submit your application at any time.
IF I AM SELECTED FOR A DEVICE, DO I NEED TO ACCEPT?
No. If you are selected, we will reach out to you to offer you the opportunity, along with the specific device terms. You are free to accept the terms and be sent the device or refuse that specific opportunity. If you refuse, you will still be kept in mind for future opportunities unless requested otherwise.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I CAN NO LONGER PARTICIPATE AFTER I RECEIVE A DEVICE?
We understand that there are circumstances that may arise where you can no longer participate after receiving a device for testing. If this occurs during your testing period, we would appreciate it if you return the device so we may send it to another Snapdragon Insider who is eager to participate.
IF I’M INVITED TO AN EVENT, DO I HAVE TO ATTEND?
No. Participation is optional, though we appreciate a timely response if you will not be attending so we may extend the invitation to another Snapdragon Insider.
