Capture Complete Contest Entries with Confidence

Unlike basic giveaway forms that only collect names and emails, this template helps you gather everything needed to evaluate entries fairly and create compelling before-and-after stories:

Comprehensive applicant information including household details, homeownership status, and contact preferences ensure you can reach winners and verify eligibility.

Visual documentation through current space photo uploads lets you assess the transformation potential and create dramatic before-and-after comparisons for your marketing materials.

Detailed renovation wish lists with room selection, specific project descriptions, and style preferences help you understand what applicants truly need and match them with the right contractor partners.

Budget transparency including estimated costs and affordability challenges ensures you can pair winners with realistic renovation scopes and appropriate financing options.

Contractor partnership readiness questions assess whether applicants can accommodate filming, are open to design input, and understand the collaboration process—critical for smooth project execution.

Compelling storytelling sections capture why they need the makeover, what it would mean to their family, and how they'll share the transformation, giving you rich content for promotional materials and social media campaigns.

Streamlined Workflows for Contest Management

Running a home makeover contest involves coordinating multiple stakeholders—from marketing teams reviewing entries to contractors assessing feasibility to legal teams verifying eligibility. This template integrates seamlessly with your existing tools to keep everyone aligned:

Connect submissions directly to your CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce) to nurture all applicants—not just winners—with future promotions and services. Push entries to Google Sheets or Airtable for collaborative judging and scoring. Send notifications to Slack when high-priority applications come in, and use Stepper to automate multi-stage review workflows, sending shortlisted candidates for contractor evaluation while keeping everyone updated on selection status.

With conditional logic built in, you can customize the experience based on responses—showing additional questions for specific room types, adjusting form fields based on homeownership status, or collecting supplementary information from applicants in certain regions.

On-Brand Contest Pages That Drive Entries

Contest entries often start with paid social ads, influencer partnerships, or email campaigns—and your landing page needs to convert. Paperform's document-style editor lets you create a contest application that matches your brand identity perfectly.

Add hero images of previous makeovers, embed video testimonials from past winners, include your contest rules inline, and style everything with your brand fonts, colors, and photography. Deploy as a standalone landing page on your custom domain or embed directly into your website—no developer required.

Choose between a classic long-form layout for detailed storytelling or Guided Mode for a step-by-step questionnaire experience that feels conversational and keeps applicants engaged through to submission.

Built-in Security & Compliance for Peace of Mind

Running promotional campaigns requires careful attention to contest rules, eligibility requirements, and data privacy. Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance and GDPR-ready features mean you can collect sensitive information—including photos of people's homes and personal stories—with confidence.

Set up confirmation emails that include contest terms and conditions, create custom success pages that outline next steps and timelines, and use Paperform's secure file upload capabilities to handle photo submissions safely. With submission limits and duplicate prevention, you can ensure contest integrity while making the experience smooth for legitimate entrants.

Perfect for Multi-Location & Agency Campaigns

If you're a marketing agency managing home makeover contests for multiple clients, or a national brand running regional campaigns, Paperform's Agency+ features let you clone this template, customize it for each market or brand, and manage everything from one dashboard. Set up different contractor partnerships by region, adjust prize values based on local markets, and aggregate entries across all campaigns for reporting.

Generate Buzz & Build Your Brand

Home makeover contests aren't just about one transformation—they're powerful marketing engines that generate months of content, user engagement, and brand affinity. This template helps you capture the stories and visuals you need to:

• Create compelling "before" content that builds anticipation
• Document the selection process for behind-the-scenes content
• Gather testimonials and permission for marketing use upfront

With Paperform's AI Insights, you can quickly analyze hundreds of entries to identify common themes, popular renovation requests, and compelling narratives—helping your team select winners that will resonate with your audience and deliver maximum marketing impact.

From Contest Entry to Completed Transformation

Once submissions come in, your workflow likely involves multiple phases: eligibility verification, contractor assessment, finalist selection, winner notification, project planning, and execution monitoring. Using Stepper, your AI-native workflow builder, you can automate this entire process:

When a qualified entry arrives, automatically send it for initial review, request contractor feasibility assessments, coordinate finalist interviews, trigger winner notifications, generate project agreements via Papersign for digital signatures, and keep all stakeholders updated on project milestones—all without manual handoffs or dropped balls.
