About Vote Vouchers:
Vote Vouchers are like gift cards. The holder of a vote voucher can decide:
- when to use the vote voucher
- how many votes to use at the time of voting
- and which entry they want to apply those votes
The vote voucher holder does not have to use the entire voucher value on one entry.
About Entry Vouchers:
Entry vouchers are good for one free entry into the contest.
About Reserve-a-Spot Vouchers (if applicable to your contest):
Reserve-a-Spot vouchers are good for one free reserved calendar date block or grid space (depending how you have your Reserve-a-Spot module set up).
How to Use the Voucher Module:
1. Log into the GGPC Admin: www.gogophotocontest.com/admin
2. Navigate to Settings ➝ Vouchers:
3. Choose "Enabled" from the drop-down, then click "Submit".
| This will activate voucher code boxes on your voting form, entry form, and reserve-a-spot form (click each for examples). |
4. From there, choose what type of voucher you would like to create and how many.
Then click "Create Vouchers".
For example: 5 vote vouchers with 25 votes each (pictured below)
| 💡 Each voucher is a unique code. |
Clicking on the file will take you to a page where you can view the vouchers, and export the .CSV file to Excel.
In the case of vote vouchers, you can also see how many votes are remaining on each voucher.
Each time you click "Create Vouchers", a new .CSV file will be created that contains the vouchers you have specified.
You can create as many voucher codes as you want, and each “batch” will create a .CSV file.
| IMPORTANT: How the codes are to be printed and distributed is up to you. We've had groups tell us that they sent them out via email, or did a mail merge in Word (using the spreadsheet) to print out physical voucher slips. |
