Contest Entry
Run a giveaway or contest with a simple entry form.
Overview
A contest entry form makes running a giveaway simple and fair. This template collects each entrant's details along with consent to the contest rules, so every entry is clean and compliant. With NodumForms you can build it in minutes, brand it to match your campaign, and share it by link or embed. All entries land in one place, ready to export when it is time to draw a winner.
A clear contest entry form keeps your giveaway organised and protects you legally. This template captures the entrant's name, email and any campaign-specific details, plus a required consent checkbox confirming they have read and accept the rules. NodumForms offers Short Text, Email, Single Select, Multiple Choice and Checkbox question types, so you can ask a tie-breaker question, capture how entrants found you, or confirm eligibility such as age or location. Use the drag-and-drop builder to keep the form quick to complete, and apply your colours, logo and a cover image so the entry page matches the rest of your campaign.
As entries arrive, your responses dashboard shows a live count, which is a great figure to share on social media to encourage more entries. Review entries in Table view to scan them quickly, or Individual view to check a specific submission. When the contest closes, export every entry to CSV. NodumForms does not pick a winner for you, so you draw one from the exported list using your own method, which keeps the process transparent. You can then email the winner directly. Server-side validation keeps contact details accurate, and you can delete entries on request to stay GDPR-friendly.
Perfect for
Collect fair, compliant giveaway entries
Marketing teams, creators and small businesses use this form to run social media giveaways and promotions. Imagine a brand giving away a product bundle: they share a contest entry form link in their posts, requiring a consent checkbox for the rules. When the deadline passes, they export all entries to CSV, draw a winner using a random method, and email the lucky entrant directly.

FAQ
- Does NodumForms pick the winner automatically?
- No. NodumForms collects every entry in your dashboard, but it does not include an automatic winner picker. You export the entries to CSV and draw a winner using your own method, which keeps the process transparent and fair.
- Can I require entrants to accept the rules?
- Yes. Add a Checkbox or Yes/No field as a required consent question confirming the entrant has read and accepts your contest rules. This helps keep your giveaway compliant and your entries clean.
- Can I remove an entry if someone asks?
- Yes. You can delete any individual response from your dashboard, which is useful for honouring removal requests and staying GDPR-friendly. The entrant's details are then removed from your NodumForms records.
