Search interest in the Emmys increases a hundredfold during the award ceremony. And that interest is reflected in social media. People will be tweeting, streaming and commenting throughout the awards ceremony.
So why not harness that engagement? Set up a quick Emmys giveaway on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Invite people to comment on one of your posts. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Ask people for their favorite award category
- Collect opinions about the presenters
- Ask people for their favorite nominee
- Rate the entertainment performances
Then all you have to do is select a random winner with the prize draw tool, and reward them with an attractive prize.
Since the Emmys are awards for TV series, you could offer gifts like DVD box sets, memorabilia of the stars, or merch. If you want to emphasize your brand’s products, ask yourself if you have anything relevant to the theme. For example, a food and drink business could highlight their cinema-ready snacks. A furniture warehouse could boast about how their comfy sofas are perfect for movie marathons!
Predict the Emmys award winners
Another fun option is to make your Emmys giveaway competitive. Use the Predictions tool to ask your followers to predict the winners in each category of nominations. Then award a prize to whoever makes the first correct guess.
This kind of contest takes a bit more time, as users answer more than one question. However, it is a great opportunity to collect the participants’ contact details. Make sure you offer a generous prize for your Emmys promotion, as it’s the best way to attract more attention and participants to your contest. Remember – the prize is the most important incentive for people to take part!
Challenge followers to an Emmys-themed quiz
How well do you know your TV shows? With fan communities springing up on the internet, people love to learn about their favorite shows in obsessive detail – from The Crown to The Handmaid’s Tale, from Bridgerton to The Kominsky Method.
So why not challenge your followers to prove their expertise? Set up a TV trivia quiz about Emmy-nominated shows. Then you can run an Emmys giveaway for all the participants… Or limit it to people who scored full marks.

All the Emmys giveaways we’ve recommended so far will work equally well before or during the awards ceremony. But what if you want to run a contest that’s specifically tied to Emmys night?
