Facebook Photo Contests (9 posts)

  • Can anybody recommend any FREE Contest Apps for Facebook which allow a user to upload a Photograph, both within the contest but also the Wall?

    Cost effective alternatives would be welcomed also, or advice as to how this functionality could be coded in to an iFrame.

    Thanks.

  • @ianwilkinson You may want to check out the folks at Shortstack. They do great apps and custom-tabs for Facebook: http://www.shortstack.com/facebook-app-features/

    Cheers,

  • @fredericgonzalo thanks, I had taken a look at that. Strange thing is, I manage multiple Facebook Pages and only want to use a contest on a very small page (based on fan count). Their pricing seems to assume that I wish to use this on all??

  • @ianwilkinson But you only publish the contest to the page you want it on, not to all. I’ve run a few photo contests through Shortstack, but I don’t think you can upload to a wall too. And be careful of that, you can’t use FB functions for any contests or giveaways.

  • @marylarson thanks Mary, I’ve re-visited their pricing section and had probably misinterpreted this. Would you recommend any other low-cost or FREE alternatives to Shortstock?

  • @ianwilkinson Offerpop.com is free for less than 500 Likes on a Page.  I didn’t check if that includes their photo contest part.  EasyPromos is free for the first contest for less than 5000 fans.  

    You are never going to find a contest that uploads the pictures to the wall, that’s against the terms.  Hope that helps!

  • Hey @ianwilkinson, I hate to sound like a broken record, but you must be very careful with these types of contests, or you risk losing the pages. As @marylarson mentioned, FB functionalities as means of entering a contest or any monetary-giveaway are off-limits to Facebook. Here are their Promotions Guidelines just in case ;)

    I haven’t had too much Good luck with any FREE apps. You can rarely go wrong with Wildfire or even Facebook sweepstakes though, if you want something cheap.

    Good luck, let us know if you find something that fits your needs ;)

  • @andrea-vahl thanks, I’ll check these suggestions out today. Thanks also @alexandrapotora for the information you’ve provided. Watch this space.

  • I would recommend Wildfire. We have used it many times and just ran a photo contest using their photo contest app. I hope this helps!

    We did have to pay close attention to the rules and regulations regarding facebook promotions.

    Good luck.
