And the good news is that you can now run before and after contests with Easypromos! Our Voting Contest app<\/a> allows participants to upload multiple images to the contest app, making it possible to show the before and after pictures that they wish to share with your brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to organize a before and after photo contest with Easypromos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Voting Contest app allows users to upload several content pieces in one participation: photos, videos, PDFs, or audio files. The uploaded content is then uploaded as an album which the participants can name. Additionally, entrants can use a dedicated space to add a comment to each content piece<\/b>, making it easier to provide additional information about their journeys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apart from encouraging your online community to share their before and after photos, you can also invite your followers to vote for their favorite transformations or metamorphosis. This will definitely prompt social media sharing<\/b>, as participants are more likely to share their participation with friends and family to ask for more votes. The good news is that each user that registers to vote automatically becomes a new member of your database, as they have to accept terms and conditions in order to submit their votes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s an example of how a home improvement company could organize a contest for the best do-it-yourself home renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Example](\"https:\/\/wwwcdn.cstmapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demo-before-after.webp\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThis DEMO is an example<\/a> of how a home renovation company could organize a contest to choose the best DIY renovation. Users would participate by uploading a photo or video of, for example, their kitchen before the renovation and another photo showing the improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Example](\"https:\/\/wwwcdn.cstmapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/demobeforeandafter2.webp\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nLet\u2019s go back for a moment to something we\u2019ve already mentioned: voting. In the image above, you can see how users view the entries they are voting on. For example, you can create a contest where each user has a total of three votes to distribute: awarding one, two, and three points to their favorite entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\nIdeas for before and after photo contests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Would you like to launch a before and after photo contest for your audience? Here are just some ideas that you could go for: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\nRestoration projects<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Take a look at this virtual car show that the restoration product provider Eastwood organized to engage its audience, promote its products, and gather high-quality UGC. The brand asked participants to upload before and after photos and videos of their car restoration projects. The participating projects were displayed in public galleries and the winning project was selected by popular vote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\nHome renovations or improvements<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Just like we explained above! And here\u2019s an example of how to show all the user-generated content on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"house](\"https:\/\/wwwcdn.cstmapp.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/house-renovation-before-and-after-photo-contest-1-1024x454.webp\")

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\nGarden revamps<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Invite your followers to give a second life to their backyard garden, or ask them to share with you their completed projects. All the UGC that you collect you can then reshare on your social media channels to further promote your brand and products. By publishing photos of real customers and real projects, you reinforce customer loyalty and drive more potential customers to your business.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\nHair transformation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before and after contests in hairdressing are a true classic. These can be organized around various themes, such as hairstyle trends, coloring techniques, or different types of haircuts, among others. The choice depends on the goals of the event and the profile of the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An interesting option is to organize a B2B contest where professional hairdressers submit their own creations, fostering the exchange of ideas, creativity, and recognition of talent within the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wwwcdn.cstmapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/antes-despues-peluqueria.webp\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\nBody transformation<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is one of the most popular types of before and after photo contests. Give visibility to your customers and praise their achievements and effort by sharing pictures of their body transformations. Invite participants to upload snaps showing their pre- and after-transformation bodies and reward their hard work. This is especially popular with personal trainers, gyms, and course providers.<\/p>\n\n\n
