Create a photo contest, show its QR code during the forecast, and review each submission before it appears in the gallery. Feature approved photos on air, let viewers vote, and draw or judge the winners. ### Can we show a QR code on screen? Yes. Every promotion has a QR code, and each tracking link has its own. Create one per segment or newscast so you can see which one brought viewers in. ### Do viewer photos go live automatically? Not if you moderate them. Review each submission and approve or deny it. Pending and denied submissions stay out of the public gallery and voting. ### Can viewers vote for a favorite? Yes. Publish approved submissions in a public gallery and let viewers vote, or have your team judge the entries instead. ### Can we use viewer photos on air? Add a checkbox and terms to your contest form that explain how you may use submissions, and cover it in your official rules. Each entry keeps the viewer’s answers with their submission. ### Does Revup connect to our broadcast systems? No. Revup doesn’t connect to graphics, playout or newsroom systems. Your team adds the QR code or URL to on-screen graphics and features approved photos on air. ### Can Revup help with rules and winner selection? Yes. Generate official rules, set entry restrictions, and select winners with a recorded draw. Use winner claim forms to collect the details you need to arrange prizes. Review your eligibility, prize details, and rules before launch. ### What does the free trial include?
