Dry July Challenge
Encourage your audience to get involved in the Dry July challenge with a video contest that promotes wellness and meaningful storytelling. This giveaway template is designed to help you collect, display, and reward alcohol free video submissions while driving engagement through public voting.
Dry July is a national campaign that challenges people to go alcohol free for the month of July to raise funds and awareness for people affected by cancer. It is a powerful opportunity to support wellness, drive engagement, and rally communities around a meaningful cause — whether you're an organisation, brand, or content creator.
Run a Dry July video contest to showcase how your audience is embracing the challenge. Use this giveaway template to collect video submissions from participants who have signed up to Dry July, and allow friends and family to vote for their favourite stories. Whether your goal is to promote healthy habits or increase visibility for fundraising, this campaign helps you make an impact during the month of July.
Participants can upload a video or share a link to content they've created — from alcohol free events to personal wellness stories. With Gleam’s gallery and voting features, you can highlight top entries and turn your community into powerful advocates for the cause.
