Drawing Random Winners

When your competition finishes, Gleam sends you a notification asking you to choose your winners.

You'll find ended competitions in the Finished tab of your site:

• Red shows competitions that don't have winners drawn yet
• Blue shows competitions with winners drawn but not announced publicly
• Green shows competitions with winners drawn and announced publicly on the widget

Open your competition and go to the Winners tab to start drawing winners.

Here is the whole process in one video, from checking invalid actions and drawing your winners to picking a winner manually and announcing them in the widget:

You must draw winners for your campaigns in line with our Terms of Service. Failing to do so can result in an account review or suspension.

When you select Draw Winners you simply have to decide the number of winners you want to draw (this cannot exceed the number of winners set for your campaign), specify if you want to restrict entries by date, and select Draw.

You will then be presented with the winning entry or entries, ready for you to announce and contact.

If your Competition contains multiple prizes, you have the option to draw winners for 'All Prizes', or draw winners based on a specific prize.

If you choose to draw winners for 'All Prizes', the 1st winner drawn will be allocated the 1st prize in your list, the 2nd drawn will be allocated to the 2nd prize in your list, etc.

If you want to draw winners for a specific prize only, you need to select the prize from the dropdown list and choose how many winners you want to draw for that prize. This number cannot exceed the remaining number of winners for your selected prize.

Once you have drawn your winners you will be presented with the winning entries, ready for you to announce and contact.

If you would like to change the prize allocated to any winner for any valid reason you can do so from each winner's Prize status:

To draw multiple winners, all you need to do is specify the number of winners you want to pick under Winners to Draw.

You will then be presented with the winning entries.

When you draw multiple winners, each winning entry will be numbered from 1 to the total number of winners that have been picked.

For example, if you draw 4 winners, the winning entries will be numbered from 1-4.

This makes it easy to handle major and minor prizes or rank winning entries from 1st to nth place.

Winners are also assigned to a specific action that they have completed, you will see this when you announce winners in the widget.
