Online song contest: nominate, vote, reveal winners

One person hosts. They create a song contest (or photos / any topic), choose who adds candidates, and share an invite code or QR. Everyone else joins in the browser, nominates when allowed, then ranks or rates the list.

When voting closes, the host can reveal the ranking immediately, live as votes come in, or place by place for a presentation night.

The fun is rarely just “who won” — it is the walk from last place to first. MyContest supports Eurovision-style reveals, ballot-by-ballot walkthroughs, and optional nominator rankings so the room stays engaged until the end.

Song contests can pull chart tracks around a birth date — great for parties and anniversaries. Photo contests work from the camera roll; “anything” contests cover wine nights, player of the day, or restaurant lists with optional links and attachments.

• A host with a browser tab on the contest page to manage phases and reveals.
• Friends on any phone or laptop — they join with a short code or QR, no app install.
• Optional: curated candidates from the host, guest nominations, or both.

1. Create a contest and pick Song, Photo, or Anything.
2. Share the invite code or QR so everyone joins the room.
3. Collect nominations, open voting, then reveal the ranking how you like.

What is an online song contest?

MyContest lets a host create a contest, invite friends with a code or QR, then collect nominations and votes in the browser. After voting you can reveal the ranking step by step — like a Eurovision-style presentation.

Do guests need an account?

No. Guests join with an invite code or QR link, pick a display name, and can nominate and vote without signing up — unless the host later asks them to save progress with an email account.

Is it only for songs?

Song contests are the classic format (including Birthday Song Contests from the charts). You can also run photo contests or an “anything” contest for topics like wine, restaurants, or player of the day.

How do I start a contest night?

Open MyContest, create a contest, choose who nominates, share the code or QR, then open voting when everyone is ready. Reveal results live, all at once, or place by place.

Is it free to try?

Yes. You can create and host on the free plan with plan limits. Paid unlocks and higher plans are optional when you need more active contests, participants, or nominations.
