Got questions?

Common questions.

Everything you need to know about running contests on Revup.

Every submission lands in a dedicated moderation dashboard before it appears publicly. From there you can approve, deny, edit captions, and rotate or crop images. Pending and denied entries stay hidden from the public gallery and from voting. You can moderate one entry at a time or work through them in bulk, and notifications can be triggered automatically when a submission is approved or denied.

Yes. Revup contests support direct video uploads alongside photos and captions. Participants can also submit videos hosted on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other social platforms by pasting a link — Revup pulls in the video preview and embeds it inside the gallery. You decide which sources to allow per contest.

Voting requires a name and email (phone optional), and votes are verified with a one time passcode plus CAPTCHA. You can limit votes per person, per submission, or both, and you can set a vote window. Suspicious votes are blocked automatically and excluded from rankings. Galleries can be sorted by newest, oldest, random, or most voted, with live counts visible to your audience.

Yes — admins can manually add submissions for participants who entered offline (in-store, by mail, by email, etc.). You upload the media, set the caption, and attach contact info. Manual submissions count toward the gallery, voting, and reporting just like public ones, and they can be moderated, edited, or removed the same way.

Revup offers four embed types: Widget, Landing Page, Popup, and Gallery. Each generates a snippet you paste into your site. You can also set a custom URL slug (e.g., revup.com/summer-photo-contest), download a QR code, and configure Open Graph tags for link previews when shared on social media.

Yes — contests get their own official rules template, populated from your contest settings: sponsor name, eligibility, entry period, judging or voting method, prize descriptions, and intellectual property terms for the submitted media. Revup gives you a strong starting point, but for high-stakes contests we recommend a final review by counsel familiar with the laws in your jurisdiction.

Yes — auto-translation supports 36 languages including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), and more. Translations are applied automatically to the entry form, post-submission page, gallery, and official rules. You can review and edit any translation before publishing, and you'll be alerted if any translations fall out of sync after edits.
