Post your entry now
Create your entry — a Reel, Post or Carousel on any ritual, song or tradition from the book, or your own family's version of it.
Publish it publicly from your Instagram account.
Write #XoffencerMarquee in the caption, and send a collaborator invite to @xoffencer_publication on that same post. The invite IS your entry — the hashtag helps people find it.
When “Collab” appears on your post — that's your receipt.
What the winner gets
3 days · ~720 plays
Your creation, on the INOX DLF Promenade lobby screen.
Plus the premium hardcover, full-colour edition of वैवाहिक रस्में (Vaivahik Rasmein) — MRP ₹3,738 — as a gift hamper.
Two runners-up are featured on our social media.

Xoffencer Marquee — Contest 01 · Rules and Conditions
- 1
Duration. This contest runs 30 days — 27 September 2026, 12:00 PM IST to 27 October 2026. New entries are accepted only in the first 10 days, until 7 October 2026, 11:59 PM IST.
- 2
Who can enter. You need an Instagram account, and your entry post must be public so people can see and like it.
- 3
Formats. Reels, Posts and Carousels are all equally eligible — no format gets an advantage.
- 4
What your entry is about. A ritual, song or tradition recorded in this book — or your own family's version of that same tradition. Both count equally. Buying the book is not required.
- 5
How an entry registers. Publish publicly with #XoffencerMarquee in the caption, then invite @xoffencer_publication as a collaborator on that post. Your entry counts once the invite is accepted. A hashtag alone does not register an entry. No screenshots are ever required.
- 6
One handle, one entry. If more than one entry arrives from a handle, the first-published one counts — later ones don't, whatever their engagement. Publish time decides.
- 7
Stay public. Your post must remain public until 27 October 2026, 11:59 PM IST, and until verification completes. Deleting it, making it private, or removing the collaboration cancels the entry.
- 8
How the score works. Score = Likes + Shares — the likes on your entry, plus the times people sent it forward. Shares count because a like is applause in a closed room; a share is a door. Both numbers are visible in your post's Instagram Insights.
- 9
Ties. If two entries tie on score, the earlier-published entry ranks higher.
- 9.1
Minimum score to win. An entry needs at least 50 score (likes + shares) to win — that is the only bar, and it is entirely in your hands. It does not matter how many others enter: if you are the only entrant and you cross 50, the win is yours. If no entry reaches 50, the screen feature rolls to the next Marquee contest — but the top entry still receives the book hamper and a feature on our handle. Runner-up spots carry the same 50 bar.
- 10
When counting happens. Likes and shares are counted at 11:59 PM IST on 27 October 2026. Engagement after that moment does not count.
- 11
How counting happens. Your numbers are read automatically — because you added @xoffencer_publication as a collaborator, the post's figures come straight from Instagram. You never send screenshots. If a number cannot be read automatically for any entry, we verify it with that entrant directly, on record, before the result.
- 12
Entering early helps — and we're not hiding it. Everyone's score is counted on the same date, so the earlier you enter, the more days your post gets: day-1 entries get the full 30 days, day-10 entries get 20. The date is the same for everyone, printed in advance.
- 13
New entries in the first 10 days only. After 7 October there are no new entries; for the remaining 20 days you can only push the entry you already made.
- 14
Fake engagement. Bought, botted or artificially inflated likes, shares or followers disqualify the entry without notice.
- 15
Verification. Xoffencer verifies every entry's eligibility and engagement, and every check is kept on record.
- 16
Prizes. One winner and two runners-up. The winner gets the lobby-screen feature and the hardcover gift hamper; runners-up are featured on our social media (not on the screen).
- 17
Feature permission. The winner's handle, photo and creative appear on the screen or our social media only with their separate written permission, taken after the result is decided. Entering the contest is not, by itself, that permission.
- 18–19
Rules 18–19 (rights on your content · your data) are being finalised and will be published here before entries open.
- 20
No platform affiliation. This contest is run by Xoffencer International Book Publication House. Instagram, Meta, PVR/INOX and Screenox have no sponsorship, endorsement or administrative role in it.
