Add an image that represents your Challenge. If the sponsor of your challenge has a photo or logo that you/they would like to feature, you can upload that here to be displayed along with your match.
This section is optional, but to add a photo, click "Select image" and then click "Apply" once you have adjusted it. Click "Save" to preserve your changes.
