Before you submit
Use this checklist for one giveaway. Tick items as you complete them.
Where have you submitted this giveaway?
Your checklist is saved only if you choose to remember it. Do not use a tick as proof that a directory has accepted your competition.
Prepare one clear submission brief
Have your giveaway title, full prize description, original entry URL, opening and closing dates, closing time, eligibility, entry instructions and terms link ready. Add a contact email for any questions. The giveaway planner can turn your answers into a directory submission brief.
Submit while there is enough time left for a listing to be reviewed and used. Each directory makes its own editorial decision. A submission is not a guarantee of publication, visitors or entries.
How to submit a competition to Loquax
- Open Loquax’s promoter guidance and check your giveaway against its current listing rules.
- Register or sign in. New posters need to make an introduction post before posting competitions.
- Follow the link to post your competition in the appropriate forum.
- Complete the listing fields, including the prize, closing date, original entry link and entry method. Follow the forum’s required format.
- Post once per promotion and respond if a moderator asks for clarification.
Loquax welcomes organiser submissions. It expects UK eligibility, a clear closing date and accessible terms. Among its exclusions are referral-style incentives, lead-generation offers, discount prizes and certain competing sites. Check the full policy for your business.
How to submit a competition to The PrizeFinder
- Open “Add Competition” and read the listing options.
- For a basic listing, choose “Upload your competition as a FREE Listing”.
- Enter your name, contact email, prize, category, website name and original entry link.
- Add the start date, closing date and time, entry instructions and eligibility restrictions. Check the default options rather than leaving them unchanged.
- Submit using the form’s Save button. The site says to allow up to three days for a competition to appear.
Only free-to-enter competitions are accepted. Businesses specialising in competitions, voucher codes, offers, loyalty points or lead generation are excluded from the basic free option and should contact the site about its other arrangements. Paid placement is separate; no fixed price is assumed here. The form also asks for a link back.
How to submit a competition to Competitions Time
- Open “Submit Competition” and read the current guidelines.
- Check that the prize is worth around £30 or more, has broad UK appeal and is not restricted to a local shop or venue.
- Allow at least a week before the closing date.
- Enter your contact email, prize, original entry page URL and ending date. Add a question and answer if your promotion has one.
- Select the relevant entry methods, describe the actions required and press Submit.
The site offers free listings for free online entry. Its guidance excludes payments, app downloads, lead generation, betting or gambling websites and affiliate links. It also asks for clear information about marketing and data use. Read the form for the full criteria.
How to submit a competition to Online Competition
- Publish your competition with clear entry instructions and accessible terms.
- Open the “Submit a competition” page.
- Paste the public link to the original organiser’s competition page or social post. Do not include personal access codes or private invitation links.
- Choose “Send competition link”. Send one competition per submission.
- Wait for consideration alongside the site’s regular research. Avoid sending the same link repeatedly.
The directory considers free competitions open to UK entrants, including website, email, social media and postal entries. It excludes paid entry, required purchases, paid subscriptions, premium-rate calls or texts, gambling, casinos and adult sexual content. A suggestion does not guarantee a listing or immediate review.
Can you post your own competition on MoneySavingExpert?
No. MSE’s forum team says you cannot post a competition you have a hand in organising, professionally or for a good cause. Do not post through another account or ask someone to disguise a promotional submission.
You can make your giveaway easy to find on your own website and use directories that expressly welcome promoter submissions.
Keep a simple submission log
Record the directory, submission date, link you sent, status and any published listing URL. Check for typos or questions if a site contacts you. Once the giveaway closes, make the original entry page clearly say that entries have ended.
If you are running a genuinely local giveaway, local publications, business groups and community newsletters may be more relevant than national directories. Use their published contact or promotion routes and check their rules first.
