Contest Entry template

A photo contest entry form with the two things contest organizers always bolt on too late: a consent gate for social reposting and a required rules agreement. Entrants upload their photo, caption it, and choose whether you can feature it — and a skip rule only asks for an Instagram handle when they've said yes to being featured with credit.

Community groups and schools where a paper-free entry process with a clear rules checkbox keeps things tidy

Tips to get more from it

The consent question drives a skip rule — entrants who choose "No — judging only" never see the Instagram handle question. That respects the no and keeps your repost list clean.
The rules agreement is a required single-option choice ("I agree") — an unambiguous record that each entrant accepted the official rules. Link your rules from the welcome screen.
Photo entries arrive through the file upload field and are stored with each response, so judging happens in one place instead of an inbox thread.
"One entry per person" lives in the welcome copy; spot-check duplicate emails in the dashboard before announcing winners.

Questions people ask

Can entrants upload photos directly to the form?

Yes — the file upload field accepts image files and attaches them to the response, so every entry, caption, and consent answer stays together.

How do I get permission to repost contest photos?

Ask in the entry form, as this template does: a required consent question with an explicit judging-only option. The answer is stored with the entry as your record.

Is a rules agreement on a contest form enough?

A required agreement question creates a clear acceptance record, which is the standard practice for casual contests. For high-value prizes, have the official rules reviewed and link them prominently.
