ContestPad

ContestPad is a platform for setting up and running competitions and awards programmes. It is now presented on the Launchpad6 website. Organisers design an event site, set the rules and manage entries from one system.

What ContestPad offers

• Event sites — start from a template to build landing pages, galleries and judging portals, with HTML and CSS access for custom designs.
• Entries and voting — control submission windows, voting rounds, and what information is collected with each entry.
• Judging — a dedicated scoring site with criteria and allocation for judging rounds.
• Payments — entry and vote payments through a secure gateway.
• Fraud management — public voting with detection, limits on votes, and tools to export and remove suspect votes.
• Analytics and sharing — campaign reporting, Google and Facebook analytics connections, and social sharing and sign-in.
