Call for Applicants – WCA Communication Team Members (July 2025)

The WCA Communication Team (WCT) is looking for new members! Interested community members of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Applications are open to everyone; it is not a requirement to hold a current position in the WCA to be considered.

​What does the WCT do?

The official rights and duties of the WCT are documented in WCA Motion 10.2024.1. The WCT has a variety of responsibilities including dealing with inquiries from general members of the public, working on social media projects, and maintaining and moderating the WCA Forums.

Where do you fit in?

​The team is split into various subteams, each focusing on various tasks. The positions the WCT is recruiting for are as follows:

Social Media: Do you like telling stories and bringing people together? Are you full of fun ideas to share the excitement of speedcubing with the world? If yes, then you might be a great fit for the Social Media subteam! In this role, you’ll work on all kinds of projects, like showcasing different regions and their WCA organisations, getting the speedcubing community engaged on social media, and more. We’d also love to hear your own ideas and help bring them to life!

Creative Media Production: We’re looking for people who can help with graphic design and video editing to support our current projects and take on exciting new ones. If you have skills in creating visuals, editing videos, or bringing creative ideas to life, we’d love to have you on the team!

​In addition to the above specified roles and responsibilities, the WCT has a variety of miscellaneous tasks which we are responsible for, which can include collaboration with other WCA Teams and more. Members are also expected to assist with general team duties, such as handling email enquiries.

The qualities and requirements expected of candidates are:

  • At least 16 years of age as of August 1st, 2025
  • Availability throughout the week – expected time commitment of 1-3 hours per week
  • Ability to communicate fluently and professionally in English.

Candidacy documents must include:

  • A brief personal introduction
  • Summary of activities done for the WCA and the cubing community
  • Motivation for joining the WCT
  • Which position(s) you are most interested in

​Candidacy documents must be in PDF format. The application period is open for candidates to submit their candidacy document from now until August 10th, 2025, 23:59 UTC privately to Zain Ali Behzaad (sbehzaad@worldcubeassociation.org).

You can expect a reply to confirm whether your application is complete, and may receive a request for an interview with the WCT Leader and up to two other members.

If you have any questions about WCT work or the application cycle, you may email Zain (sbehzaad@worldcubeassociation.org)

Thank you for your interest in assisting the WCT and the WCA!

Merge of the WCA Regulations and WCA Guidelines (July 2025)

Dear WCA Community,

The WCA Regulations Committee would like to inform you that the WCA Guidelines have now been merged into the WCA Regulations, bringing these important documents together. This change improves the accessibility of this information without changing the requirements in place at WCA Competitions.

A new version of the WCA Regulations, incorporating the content previously contained in the WCA Guidelines, has been published. This version is in effect for competitions beginning on, or after, July 17th, 2025.

You can review the changes made in this comparison on GitHub. You can click on “Files changed” to see the complete files of the Regulations and the former Guidelines, where all changes and additions are marked green and removals are marked red.

Changes include:

  • Moving all former Guidelines into the Regulations
  • Removing the Guidelines
  • Updating cross-references to former Guidelines
  • Amending the ‘Notes‘ header section to reflect the amended structure

The changes made are only structural, and no substantive changes to the procedures in place at WCA Competitions have been made at this time. The WCA Regulations Committee continues to work on the development of the WCA Regulations, and intends to publish the next update to the WCA Regulations to take effect for competitions beginning on, or after, January 1st, 2026.
