Benefits of Online Local Contests

An online local contest can be a powerful way to engage your local target audience. Contests can be excellent for building brand awareness and driving users to your website. Running a contest can increase repeat traffic and participation on your website, blog or other social media sites at multiple stages of the contest. More visits hopefully mean more customers!

But managing a local contest with multiple levels of judging can be a time-consuming process. omniCONTESTS has streamlined the online contests process with a three-portal approach – entrants, judges and administrators. 

Your local contest entrants and members can log in online and submit their entry or nomination. The entrants may build their entry submission over time, organize it and make sure all facets of the project or nomination are represented. An online submission simplifies the process, eliminating the need to prepare hard copy submissions for entry. Entrants can upload files and complete all aspects of the awards process online. Supporting documents such as photographs, videos, documents and other collateral materials can all be uploaded and managed online.

Once the entries are submitted, a panel of judges or reviewers can make their evaluation with ease. Judges can review the details of each entry and score or evaluate it, and they can perform this step from the convenience of their own office or home. The flexible judging module allows for multiple judge rounds and judging can be performed completely online, on-site or both.

Best Local Contest Software

As the administrator, omniCONTESTS allows you full access to manage entrants, entries and judges. You can review and award entries and nominees and then notify the winners. All entrant and entry data can be exported to Excel and downloaded for your administrative use in marketing materials, galleries and gala events.

With omniCONTESTS’ omniGALLERY module, all local entries and nominees can be recognized and showcased in a gallery or winner list. The gallery is searchable, and you can customize the search, results and detail pages with images, links to other sites and videos, as well as change text to match your organization's site.

Many online local contests hold events to announce their winners. The event registration module will allow your organization to create events, customize event registration forms, track and manage registrants and collect online payments.

The event registration module allows your organization to publish and promote your conferences and galas and easily communicate with attendees, update calendar listings instantly and manage event speakers.
