When running a caption, video or photo contest it’s important that you consider the campaign dates, so that it moves into each stage/phase at the right time. As your campaign moves through each phase, the pages that are displayed to end users change.

Which phases apply?

This table shows the applicable phases and their ordering:

Which pages are available and when?

The following default pages will be available in each phase. It's important to note that if you link to a page that becomes unavailable (via a CTA), that link will not function.

If you add any additional pages, their availability may also be affected in various phases but, due to the number of permutations, we aren't able to provide an exhaustive list. If you have any questions please contact your CSM or Technical Support support@wayin.com 

Competition Dates

Entry Start Date

Set the date and time when users can first submit entries.

Voting Start Date

Set the date and time when users can vote on published content.

If your experience is to be hosted on Facebook, enabling secure voting to ensure you get the most accurate voting totals. This will record the user's Facebook ID so we can ensure they comply with any voting restrictions (number of votes per item, for instance).

Judging Start Date

Set the date and time when your judging phase starts. 

This option will not be available if you select a competition type that does not include some form of judging.

Winner(s) Announced

Here you can specify whether you wish to announce winners daily, weekly or on a specific date.

Announcement Date

This is the date you wish to announce your winner(s) on and is only available when you select the date option in Winner(s) announced. If you announce winners on a specific date, only entries marked as winners will be displayed after this date/time.

Displaying Entries, Finalists and Winners

The entries that will be displayed in your contest will change depending on the type of contest and the active phase. You can set finalists and winners by going to the Curate & Review moderation screen, selecting an entry and using the "Rate & Judge" tab.
