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.

What’s inside
The questions this template ships with — rename, reorder, or delete any of them in the builder.
When to use this template
- A tourism board running a summer photo contest and reposting winners with credit
- A pet brand collecting customer photos, where the consent answer decides what marketing can reuse
- A camera shop's monthly themed contest, with the file upload handling full-resolution entries
- 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.
