In this section, we will discuss which contest format to select that will best cater to your contest needs. During the course of Contesting Tool 1.0, we gathered data on the most commonly used contest formats. Based on this, we’ve generated and improved several presets that you can easily use to enhance your contest creation experience.
1. Enter a Sweepstakes – Encourage your listeners to enter a contest for a chance to win.
2. Grow Your Audience – Encourage your viewers and listeners to visit, subscribe to your social channels, and refer their friends.
3. Listen to Win (On Air) – A great contest format to engage your listeners and get them to tune into your radio stream to answer a question.

5. Submit an Image – Listeners can submit an image to share and foster deeper engagement and connection.
6. Submit a Video/Audio Link – Encourage your viewers and listeners to submit a video or audio link for deeper engagement.
