Behind-the-Scenes Content Series Contest Entry Form

Want to see what really happens behind the curtain? Our Behind-the-Scenes Content Series Contest gives you the chance to win while helping us shape authentic, transparent content that showcases the heart of our business.

Why Behind-the-Scenes Content Matters

Today's customers crave authenticity. They want to know the people, processes, and passion behind the brands they support. Behind-the-scenes content—whether it's employee spotlights, factory tours, process documentation, or transparency storytelling—builds trust, humanizes your brand, and creates genuine connections with your audience.

This contest form template makes it easy to engage your audience while gathering valuable insights about what transparency content resonates most with them.

Perfect for Modern Marketing Teams

This template is ideal for:

  • Marketing teams running social media campaigns that showcase company culture and operations

What Makes This Template Powerful

Built with Paperform's doc-style editor, this contest form goes beyond basic data capture:

Engagement-Focused Design: The form uses conditional logic to ask follow-up questions based on content preferences, creating a personalized experience that increases completion rates.

Visual Storytelling: Add hero images, team photos, or preview clips from your behind-the-scenes content directly in the form to build excitement and give entrants a taste of what's to come.

Smart Data Collection: Gather not just contact information, but valuable audience insights—what content they want to see, which team members they're curious about, and what processes intrigue them most.

Social Amplification: Include optional fields for social media handles and referral tracking to turn your contest into a viral growth opportunity.

Compliance-Ready: Built-in consent checkboxes ensure GDPR compliance and proper permissions for using submissions in marketing materials.
