As a specific example of a The Best of the Best contest<\/strong>, consider a one where users vote for the best of the best in a city. A category could be ‘The Best Restaurant’, and subcategories could include ‘The Best Japanese’, ‘The Best Mexican’, ‘The Best Italian’, and so on, with as many subcategories as desired. These categories could include any sector of interest: beauty, health, leisure, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Being chosen as the most voted in a category not only means recognition for quality, innovation, and service but can also become a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A differential and highly valued point is that these contests offer the organizer an excellent opportunity for monetization<\/b> through sponsorship. For this reason, many ‘best of the best<\/strong>‘ contests are organized by media outlets such as magazines, newspapers, or radio stations as they can leverage their sales team to sell more advertising space.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best alternative to create a ‘Best of’ contest is the Online Voting Contest<\/a> app. With it, you can boost participation and interaction easily and in an organized manner. Keep on reading to learn how you can manage these contests with Easypromos and the strategies to generate revenue with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction: Selection of Candidates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As organizers of a ‘Best of’ type contest, the first consideration is how to select the candidates<\/b>. There are two options: with nominations and without nominations <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nominations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this dynamic, users propose the candidates<\/b>, and the organizers decide which of these move to the voting stage. In other words, before the voting process begins, there is a preliminary stage where users nominate their favorite in each category. After receiving all the proposals, the organizer reviews them and selects the final candidates to compete for the votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nominations can be open, allowing users to propose any candidate or be limited to a predefined group of candidates. Open nominations require more time and effort from organizers since they have to review the suggestions and make the final selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without nominations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this contest format, the organizer determines the candidates<\/b>, skipping any preliminary nomination stage by users. Participants go directly to vote among a preselected set of candidates in various categories. This methodology allows for stricter control over the competing candidates and provides a more agile and direct start to the voting process, without the need for an extensive review and selection period for nominees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easypromos allows you to manage both contest formats<\/b>, with nominations or without nominations. Additionally, it provides the necessary tools so that, in the case of nominations, all received proposals can be downloaded and analyzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anatomy of a candidate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the public suggests nominees, they usually only provide basic information<\/b>, such as the candidate’s name. For example, if someone wants to nominate the best Italian restaurant in the city, they would only write ‘Pizzeria Mario’. However, when it’s the organizers who add a candidate, they typically include more comprehensive details<\/b>. Following the same example, the organizer wouldn’t just mention the restaurant’s name but would also include its address and logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
