A Contest Alert With Everything People Need to Enter
The best contest posts answer three questions in a few seconds: what can I win, what do I do and when does it end. This one does, with a giant megaphone, a teal curve and the words CONTEST Alert in green and red, followed by three entry steps and two dates. It suits brands, shops, schools and creators that launch a contest on social media or in a newsletter.
Teal Curve and a Giant Megaphone
The design is 600 x 800 pixels, portrait, one page. A big teal shape sweeps from the lower right to the top left, and a red and navy megaphone sits in the white space at the left. CONTEST is in teal slab serif capitals, and Alert is in red script. The text is clear and well spaced. The fonts are strong serif and script faces.

Choosing Easy Entry Steps

Handling the Winner Announcement
Use a fair method to pick the winner and say how. Post the result on the date you promised, and contact the winner directly. A short thank you post to everyone keeps followers interested for the next contest.
Saving the Contest Post
Check the three step line on a phone, since the small numbers can be tight. Save the design as an image and keep the editable file for your next contest.
