The Promotions Module allows you to run an ENTRY promotion within your contest, where entrants receive bonus votes for a minimum donation during the ENTRY process. You can choose the minimum donation required, how many bonus votes they receive, and the length of time that the promotion runs.
An entry promotion is useful when you want to motivate your entrants to make a minimum donation amount during your entry process (for example, donate $20 or more during the entry process and receive an additional 20 votes).

Promotion Example
For example, our contest has a $5 entry fee, and we're going to run a promotion where if someone donates $20 or more during the entry process, they receive a bonus of 20 votes (CLICK for a larger look):
This is how it's displayed on the public site, to an entrant during the entry process:
In our example, the entrant chooses to donate for 25 votes in the entry process. This is their confirmation screen:
They have made a $30.00 donation. Of this $30.00, they'll receive 25 regular votes (since the $5.00 entry fee does not count toward votes), and 20 bonus votes.
