A Hashtag Contest is one of the simplest ways to get fans interacting with your brand. An individual can post their own picture on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook and tag it with a specific hashtag that your business has chosen. All posts uploaded with that hashtag are then displayed on a page, where people can vote on entries and share them.

Features

• Provides engagement with your fans and is easy to join.
• No data will be collected from participants, but you will get data from voters.
• Participants can 'claim' their entry by entering a form (this way you can still collect participant data).
• Optionally add any mandatory and / or banned words.
• With built-in profanity filter.

Necessities

• A clear and unique #hashtag, which is not used by other companies or for general purposes.
• A clear theme, so it is obvious to participants what is expected of them.
• Competition entries in the template.
• Optionally a sample submission.

Note regarding Facebook: we can only import messages in which participants tag your Facebook business page.
