Can I Create an Ongoing Giveaway?

Yes. One Gleam Competition can run for months or a year, and you can draw winners at scheduled intervals while it stays live. Set the end date for the final planned draw, allocate enough winners across your prizes for the full schedule, then decide whether earlier entries should carry over after each draw.

1. Create a Competition.
2. In the Setup tab, set the End Date to the date of your final planned draw. See Competition setup.
3. In the Prize tab, add each prize and allocate the total number of winners needed for the full schedule. See Prize setup.
4. To offer Daily Bonus Entries, add a Bonus action and set its Entry Interval to Daily.

After each draw, choose which entries should be eligible for the next one:

• Fresh Pool: Select Archive Entries. The Competition stays live, but only entries collected after the archive are available for future draws.
• Cumulative Pool: Leave the entries unarchived. Entries collected earlier in the campaign remain available for later draws.

On Business plans and above, you can also restrict a draw to entries collected within a specific date range.

1. Open the Competition and go to the Winners tab.
2. Select Draw Winners.
3. If the Competition has multiple prizes, choose the prize to draw, then enter the number of winners.
4. On Business plans and above, optionally restrict eligible entries by date range.
5. Select Draw.
6. Validate each winning entry. You can re-pick a winner if an entry is invalid.
7. Select Archive Entries only if the next draw should use a fresh pool.
