Running a competition is a great way to generate buzz, engagement, and leads for your brand or

business. But after the contest is over, you need to announce the winners in a way that is clear, fair, and
exciting.

How you announce the winners can affect how your audience perceives your brand and how likely they
are to participate in your future contests.

Tips announcing winner:

Start by thanking everyone who participated in the contest, as well as the sponsors and judges.

Build some suspense and excitement by announcing the winners in reverse order, from third place to
first place.

Mention the name, location, and prize of each winner, and briefly describe why their entry was
outstanding or what they did to win.

Congratulate the winners and invite them to come up on stage or contact you to claim their prizes.
