The most effective and efficient way to run a photo contest this Mother's Day is with Gleam's photo contest template.

Using this ready-made template, it's so easy to collect photo submissions. You can ask entrants to submit their photos from file uploads, Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.

You can then repurpose this in a beautiful gallery on your website or post it on your own social media account as fresh and new content.

User-generated content is a great way to demonstrate social proof by showcasing real-life experiences and satisfaction from those who have interacted with your brand and products.

Just install the contest on your website or use one of our hosted landing pages. Then make sure you tell all of your followers about it by spreading the word on your social media accounts and your mailing list.

Once the contest has closed, you can either review the submissions and manually pick a winner, or you can automate this process and let Gleam randomly select a winner for you.
