Yes! While the vast majority of contest administrators choose to use auto-approval, you do have the option to turn this feature off. It's important to know that this will require a more hands-on approach by you, the Contest Admin, especially as entries come in during evening/weekend hours.
How does it work?
If you choose to turn off auto-approval, you will receive an email notification each time someone enters your contest.
You will need to log into the GGPC Admin to manually review and approve each entry before they appear on your contest site (see example of dashboard notification below).
Once you have approved the entry, the entrant will receive an email notification letting them know that their entry now appears on the public contest site for voting
You can also deny the entry. After denying an entry, you have the option to send an email to the entrant with a message telling them why their entry was denied, and a link for them to fix it.

This sounds perfect for my needs. I want to turn Auto-Approval off:
If you would like to have auto-approval turned off, you can indicate this in your setup document. You will receive this document after you have signed up.
