## Product details

### Submission forms and media

Build multi-page contest forms with photo and video uploads, captions, custom fields, Google sign-in, and save-and-resume support. Contests can accept direct uploads and supported external videos from services such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

### Moderation and judging

Send submissions to a moderation queue before publication. Reviewers can approve or deny entries, edit captions, rotate or crop images, leave internal notes, and work through entries individually or in bulk.

### Branded galleries

Configure gallery layouts, density, captions, custom headers, submitter names, dates, and sharing controls. Pending and denied submissions remain hidden from the public gallery and voting.

### Verified public voting

Require voter identity and one-time-passcode verification with CAPTCHA protection. Configure limits per person or submission, voting windows, gallery sorting, and live vote-count visibility.

### Notifications and participant operations

Automatically notify submitters when entries are approved or denied and confirm votes after they are cast. Browse participants and submissions, filter records, validate or remove them in bulk, inspect profiles, and export submission or voter data.

### Publishing and reporting

Embed the form and gallery as widgets, popups, standalone experiences, or a dedicated gallery, or publish on a Revup-hosted URL. Reporting covers participants, submissions, gallery views, votes, conversion performance, traffic sources, geography, devices, and abandoned forms.

### Unified customer profiles

Submissions, votes, and purchases link to unified customer profiles across promotions, making contest activity available for segmentation and connected follow-up.




## Common questions

### How does the moderation queue work?

Every submission can enter a dedicated moderation dashboard before appearing publicly. Reviewers can approve, deny, edit captions, and rotate or crop images. Pending and denied entries stay hidden from the public gallery and voting, and approval or denial notifications can be automated.

### Can participants submit videos as well as photos?

Yes. Contests support direct video uploads alongside photos and captions. Participants can also submit supported external videos by link, and the contest owner chooses which sources to allow.

### How does voting work, and how is it kept fair?

Voting can require a name and email, one-time-passcode verification, and CAPTCHA. Limits can apply per person, per submission, or both, with a configured voting window. Suspicious votes are blocked and excluded from rankings.

### Can administrators add offline submissions?

Administrators can manually add entries received in a store, by mail, by email, or through another offline process. Manual submissions participate in galleries, voting, moderation, editing, removal, and reporting like public submissions.

### Can contests run in multiple languages?

Automatic translation supports 36 languages across entry forms, post-submission pages, galleries, and official rules. Teams can review and edit translations and receive alerts when later source edits cause them to fall out of sync.
