Your giveaway brief
Answer the prompts. Turn the same details into useful copy.
What should you decide before launching a giveaway?
Choose a prize your intended customers would actually want. Describe each item and any restrictions, then decide how you will deliver it. Make the entry method manageable: every required action creates something you need to check.
Next, set your opening and closing times, draw date, notification deadline and a reasonable claim period. Arrange the prize and the people or software you will need before publishing. You can use the budget calculator to include delivery and staff time.
Turn the plan into useful copy
Use the output selector to switch between entry instructions, draft terms, launch copy, a directory submission brief and a winner contact message. Complete any placeholders and check the draft. Once your promotion is live, follow the directory submission guide. You can send the finished promotion’s original link to Online Competition’s suggestion form for an eligibility check; it considers free-entry promotions and does not guarantee publication.
Check the current guidance before launch: CAP promotional marketing rules, Facebook promotion policy, Instagram promotion guidelines and ICO marketing guidance. Sources checked 7 September 2026.
