Voting Contest – Fastory

The Voting Contest is a gamification mechanic that invites your participants to vote for their favorite photo or content. With Fastory, you can create an interactive, mobile-first contest that matches your brand in just a few clicks.

What is it for?

The Voting Contest is based on a simple principle: give your fans a voice by letting them vote for the visual they like best. It is an ideal way to engage your community and collect qualified leads.

Widely used in retail, media, and sports, this format drives both interaction and virality: every vote engages the participant, and social sharing naturally expands your audience.

How to create a Voting Contest?

Once the Add-on is enabled, follow these steps:

Open the Experience tab and click + Experience.

Add a new screen to the timeline.

Select Voting Contest.

Participants can then access your gallery and vote for the photo or visual they like best.

How the game unfolds

The Voting Contest unfolds in three main stages.

1. Intro

This is the welcome screen. Use it to explain the rules of the game, showcase the prizes or rewards, and encourage people to take part with a strong call-to-action.

2. Game

Participants browse the gallery and vote for their favorite content.

3. End

A thank-you screen closes the experience. You can thank participants, redirect them to your website, online store, or social media, and trigger data collection through the built-in bot.
