Choosing Winners in the Giveaway Calendar Template

Note: This doc refers specifically to the Giveaway Calendar template, which you can find here.

When you've finished your contest using the Giveaway Calendar template, you'll want to pick your winners. Since the template uses a single form, all entries are added to a single list. This guide will walk you through the process of picking a winner for each individual day (based on that day's unique prize).

Accessing Your Entries

To start filtering your entries, you’ll need to access the Entries Manager for your list. Here’s how you can do that:

From the Campaign Builder

1. Click on the View Entries icon on your Form Widget in the Edit Widgets Panel.
   This icon looks like a little inbox with the number of entries displayed next to it.

From the Home Page

1. Click on Manage in the navigation bar.
2. Select Lists from the dropdown menu.
3. Find your list and click the number of entries to the right of the list's name.

Filtering Your Entries

You can filter entries in two ways: by submission date or by prize name. Here, we’ll focus on filtering by date.

Filtering by Date

Filtering by the date the entry was submitted is easy using the Entries Manager's filtering tools. However, note that if you didn’t lock all but the current date when running the contest, some entries may have dates that don’t match the prize day.

To filter by date:

1. Click the Date filter on the left side of the Entries Manager.
2. Use the From and To fields to enter your desired date range.
   • Alternatively, click the calendar icon to bring up a calendar and select the desired date.
3. Once your date range is entered, all entries submitted on that date will appear on the right.

Picking a Winner

1. Click the Actions button in the top-right corner.
2. Select Pick Random Entries/Winners from the dropdown menu.
3. Follow the on-screen prompt to select a winner from your filtered entries.

Finding Your Winner

After selecting your winner, you can easily locate them in the Entries Manager:

1. Enter the label you typed in the Random Entry Picker into the Label field.
2. Any entries with that label will appear on the right.
