Do it in 5 steps

1

Make the post

Open the Studio and make a post as you normally would. Use one of our templates, one of the ready designs, or your own HTML. A carousel can go in as well as a single post.

Confirm your email

Taking part needs a confirmed email, so a fake account cannot enter or vote. If you have not done it yet, the Community page tells you and the banner can send the link again.

Pick it on the Community page

Open Community and choose your post from the pictures. If you want to, add a line about who it is for. The first time, you also tick that you have read the rules.

Let people see it

Your post goes on the board with your first name and last initial, and members can vote for it. You cannot vote for your own entry.

Swap it if you make a better one

You have one entry, and you can change it until the competition ends. Changing to a different post starts its votes again, so swap early.

What gets votes

Members see the picture first, on a phone, among other posts.

One post, one point

The posts that read fastest say one thing. If you want to say three things, that is usually a carousel, or three posts.

One thing▲ 0Say it in one sentence.If you need “and” twice,it is a carousel, or two posts.

Check it at phone size

Look at your post at the size people will see it. If the headline needs a second look, make the text larger or shorten it before you enter.

Look at it at phone size.Needs a second look?Larger text, or fewer words.

It should look like your business

Your colours, your logo and a real thing you sell or know. Someone who has never heard of you should still be able to tell what you do.

TIP
Want a design nobody else has? A custom template is the quickest way to make your entry stand out. Start from a ready design, or bring your own HTML. See Guide 19 · Design posts with your own HTML.

A post, not a promise

An entry is something you actually made, so members vote on what they can see.

A description of a post
“A post about our summer menu”Nothing to look at, nothing to judge.

Easy to write and hard to vote on, because nobody can tell how it would turn out.

Members can see the headline, the design and the brand, and you have a post you can use either way.
