Either way, a crucial component is announcing or notifying your winners (and losers).

Doing this wrong results in a lot of wasted time, energy and resources - your whole contest will end on a sour note. And that's not to mention the displeased contest entrants who may otherwise have bought from you down the line.

This article will give you the top 5 ways to announce or notify contest entrants (whether they're winners or losers).

1. Email to the Contest Winner

Announcing The Design Contest Winners 2019

First, before you announce anything to the public, you need to contact the winner by email. This is necessary for a few reasons:

  • To make sure the person is eligible to win, meaning they meet any entry requirements stated in your rules and regulations.
  • To make sure it’s OK to use their name in your announcement.
  • To make sure the person responds to claim the prize. You want to be able to announce the winner in a timely fashion, or else entrants will forget or start asking you about it. As a general rule, give 3 - 7 days for the winner to respond to your email before selecting another (be sure to let the original winner know you’re doing so by email).
  • To be sure you’ve run your contest within Facebook’s guidelines (they require you notify your winner before announcing anything on Facebook, as well).

Tips for a great email to the contest winner:

  • Ask them to send a ‘celebration’ photo or video of them celebrating their win: This will provide great user-generated content for you to use in social posts and promotions.
  • Ask them the best address for you to send them their prize.
  • Create a fun, professional-looking email design.
