Creating Your First Event

An event is the container for your contest: its entries, voters, and results all live inside it.

1. Pick a plan for the event

When you create an event, you'll be prompted to choose its plan tier. Every account gets 2 free events, so pick Free to start there, no credit card needed. You can upgrade an event to a paid tier at any time if you need more. Free events are subject to published limits on entry count and results visibility (see Entry Limits by Plan and Results Visibility Levels).

2. Fill out event details

Give your event the basics voters and your dashboard will use to identify it:

Event name
Event type
Dates
Location
Description

The Create Event form with fields for event name, type, dates, location, and description — The "Create Event" form with the name, type, dates, location, and description fields.

What's next

Once your event exists, the next steps are adding entries, choosing how voters will verify themselves, and sharing the event. Category modes, voter verification, and other configuration options are covered in Event Setup.
