Random Comment Picker For Instagram Contests

Check out the best ways to pick random Instagram comments for your next contest.

Instagram comment contests are an effective and cost-efficient way to boost engagement and directly communicate with your audience.

All you need to do to get your contest up and running is make an Instagram post to announce your contest, let users know how they can enter, and of course showcase what they can win.

There are a ton of possibilities when you run comment contests. You can ask your audience to answer questions, respond to prompts, share ideas, offer feedback, tag friends or even just comment a simple word or phrase.

Picking Random Comments

If you're running an Instagram comment contest where winners are manually chosen on the merit of their comment then picking a winner is simple, but most of the time you'll want to pick a comment at random to find your winner.

Comment Picker offers a handy Instagram Random Comment Picker tool. All you need to do is log in, enter the URL of your post and pick a random winner. You can choose to filter duplicate users to determine whether or not users can comment multiple times to gain multiple entries.

While this tool is great for quickly picking a random comment it gives you very little control over your contest. If you want to run a comment contest that suits your needs and maximises the value you get from it there are far better options.
