What is GoGo Photo Contest?
GoGo Photo Contest is an online platform that allows organizations and individuals to create and host custom donate-to-vote photo contests, where $1 = 1 vote.
Our platform is designed to be user-friendly and customizable with a range of features that help you to engage your supporters and raise funds for your cause while also making a positive impact for your community.
How does it work?
Our team builds a customized photo contest website for your organization using the rules that you have provided to us, backed by our easy-to-use platform.
Your supporters and followers upload their photos to your photo contest site and then invite their friends and family to vote for their entry for $1.00 per vote. All of the voting is managed by our software, which means that the contest results are always shown in real time and there's never a question as to who is currently in the lead.
At the end of your contest, the entries with the most votes (donations) win the contest and the prizes associated with the top spots!
Even better, when your contest is over you will have raised needed funds for your organization's cause and you will have a brand new outreach list for future fundraising efforts.
There are FOUR EASY STEPS to getting started:
STEP #1: SIGN UP
gogophotocontest.com/get-started
STEP #2: CONTEST ITEMS
You will receive a questionnaire that guides you through creating your photo contest. Items include:
- Your contest's rules
- Your prize package
- Your organization's logo
- A banner for your photo contest site (This is something we can design for you, free of charge)
💡 What information is needed to set up my contest?
💡 Do you have any suggested settings or templates that I can use?
💡 What are appropriate prizes for winners?
STEP #3: RETURN YOUR CONTEST ITEMS
Once you return your contest items back to us, we'll create your contest site and have it ready for your review-- usually within 24-48 hours. You can request any edits or changes at this time.
STEP #4: SETUP AND CONNECT YOUR STRIPE ACCOUNT
You'll go through the quick and easy process of setting up a secure merchant account with Stripe (stripe.com). All of your contest donations are deposited directly into your bank account (
minus our fees).
