Freshened Contest Template
This includes a completely redesigned leaderboard and countdown clock to the beginning and end of your contest.
Both of these elements pull colors directly from your contest palette for eye-pleasing integration.
Recent Donations Feed
The Recent Donations feed shows all of the recent donors in your contest. On desktop, it shows in the right-hand column. On mobile, it shows above the leaderboard.
Words of Encouragement Commenting System
Our new commenting system encourages voters to write optional words of encouragement along with their donation, to appear on the entry to which they are voting.
Brand New Share Tools
We created a brand new share module to make it easier to share entries via email and social media.
Improved Stats on GGPC Admin Dashboard
We’ve made the GGPC Admin dashboard stats easier to read, more comprehensive, while also speeding up the loading time.
Contest Promotions Alerts on the Homepage
Anytime you run a contest promotion, an alert will appear on the dashboard letting your participants know the specifics of the promotion and when it ends.
Anonymous Voting
Voters can now select an optional checkbox when voting that will keep their name hidden on the contest site (you will still have access to their name and email address in your contest reporting).
Improved Participant Dashboard
We've made it easier than ever for your contest entrants to see who has donated on their entry, how many votes were applied, and the date and time those votes were applied.
We've done the same for voters, allowing them to easily see what entry they voted for and the date and time they applied those votes.
In addition, participants can find information regarding their Reserve-a-Spots and Calendar Purchases (if applicable) and donation receipts for their transactions.
NEW FOR 2025: Improved Email Templates (for all automated emails)
To maximize visibility and reinforce your contest branding, we've added your contest banner to the top and your logo to the bottom of every automated email that is sent from our system (plus it just looks spiffy! ✨)
This example shows the default banner paired with the default template language:
This example shows a custom banner provided by Monmouth SPCA, plus custom language that they provided for the body of the email:
NEW FOR 2025: Additional Contest Ending Reminder
There are now two separate voting reminder emails that go out at near the end of your contest:
- Voting Reminder 1 goes out two days before your contest ends
- Voting Reminder 2 goes out on the day your contest ends
We also added a direct link to the entry for easy voting, and also improved the subject and language to hopefully encourage last-minute donations!
Voting Reminder 1 Subject Line:
[CONTEST_NAME] ends soon. VOTE NOW! 🗳️
Voting Reminder 2 Subject Line:
🚨FINAL HOURS to Vote in [CONTEST_NAME]!🚨 Don't Miss Out!
These emails are automatically sent by our system, but they are also optional-- if you would rather send out your own ending reminder emails, you can always opt-out of having them sent.
NEW FOR 2025: Calendar Vote Promotion
Use our Calendar Order Module and want to add an incentive for purchasing calendars? Running a Calendar Vote Promotion allows you to award bonus votes to participants for purchasing a calendar, either in the entry process or via the links on your Homepage.
