As for what level of play, the judges will be evaluating all guides based on the same criteria (build, content, presentation). You can win regardless of your soloqueue rank if your guide is good, but your build recommendations and guide content should be pretty accurate if you want to stand out.
I think his question is more something along the lines of: "Will my guide be judged on whether it'd work in diamond+ solo queue or just for the newer players?"
Yeah, what Vynertje said. I guess I should've phrased it better. My guide is for top lane Xin Zhao and specifically geared towards bronze thru low gold, because that's where he's strongest. Different champs are much stronger in different roles based on what rank you're playing them at, so I was just wondering if the judges take that into consideration too.
In terms of build especially, I would expect judges to judge guides based off of the most optimal advice you could give. So if it's true that your item build, for example, is the best possible build to carry in gold, then that would be fine. I would not expect judges to give you a free pass for a suboptimal build because "it works in my games" or anything like that though.
I really don't think it's very common for different builds/strategies to be that much more effective in low elo than in high elo. The only thing I can think of is building more damage in low elo since you can expect to be focused less efficiently.
I leave most stuff like that up to the judge's discretion though.
Edit: To clarify, your build and guide should be competitive. Fun builds aren't going to score as highly as effective ones. If you're confident your build (or guide content) is optimal for a given elo, then that can work.

Please,I dont know how to send my guide. HELP !
Don't take this the wrong way, but perhaps you SHOULDN'T send your guide JUST YET. You should get to know the game better (mainly get level 30) before trying to publish something serious.

As Vynertje said, as long as you meet the contest requirements and meet the requirements for a full guide, you're already entered! You don't have to send it to anyone for it to be evaluated.

You need to log in before commenting.
It'll be the guide with the best score at the end of the contest using the current scoring system.
