MyContest
Online contests for songs, photos, and more
Looking for a simple way to run a contest with friends? MyContest helps groups nominate songs, photos, or custom entries, vote together, and present the winner with a staged reveal — phones only, no app install.
How the contest works
One person hosts. They create a song, photo, or custom contest, 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.
Why a staged reveal?
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.
Songs, photos, and custom topics
Song contests can use track links, previews, and Birthday Song Contest chart picks. Photo contests work from the camera roll. Custom contests cover wine nights, player of the day, restaurant lists, or any topic that needs nominations and voting.
What you need
- 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.

FAQ
- What kind of contests can I run?
- MyContest lets a host create contests for songs, photos, tastings, awards, lists, or any custom topic. Invite friends with a code or QR, collect nominations and votes in the browser, then reveal the ranking step by step.
- 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 and photos?
- No. Song and photo contests are the main ready-made formats, but you can also run an “anything” contest for topics like wine, restaurants, team awards, 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.
