Why choose a picture contest?
It’s the most efficient contest to improve engagement with the most efficient content on Twitter. Selfie contest or classic picture, it’s a good solution to maximize visibility by rewarding your community.
Each participant has to collect RT on their tweet. The more they have RT, the more they have chance to win and the more your brand is exposed on Twitter.
Moreover, you have the possibility to enable Instagram as another channel for your contest, and use the same hashtag. You will see the participants ranked by the number of Like they receive on their post.
How does it work ?
Well, it could not be simpler:
You log in your Like a Bird Apps dashboard and click on the “Create this contest” button :
You now only have to configure your campaign from the dashboard:
- Announcement tweet,
- Starting date and hour,
- Reminder tweets
- Mandatory follow
- Picture presence control
- Instagram activation
And then it starts :
|
|
Each participant has to tweet with a picture and mention your @account and the campaign hashtag.
|
|
During the contest, you will see all the picture ranked by the number of RT on your “Results” page (refreshed every 15 min)

Cool tip from the Like a Bird Apps team: if you want to be sure to reach the maximum audience, don’t hesitate to send at least two reminder tweets per day during the first and last days of the operation, and to plan at least one reminder tweet per day during the rest of the operation.
How does Like a Bird Apps help me?
First of all, the tool is able to test if a picture was posted in the tweet and can send a tweet to warn the participant.
@LKBParticipant3 Oops, it seems you forgot to include a picture to your tweet 😉

In addition, our tool helps you ensure that the participants become followers if they aren’t already. We send a customizable tweet to your absent minded participants to remind them to become followers, if they forget to, and only if you enabled this feature :
