Picking a Contest Winner
Go to Dashboard → Landing Pages → Contests and tap Pick winner on any contest card. A full-screen reveal opens with the Spin-the-Wheel.
The reveal
- Picture-disc vinyl wheel in the middle of the screen with your artist logo at the center. If you have not uploaded a logo, your artist name renders in Anton SC instead.
- BCKSTG step-and-repeat backdrop at low opacity behind the wheel.
- Top pointer that lights cyan the moment the wheel lands.
- Anticipation glow ramp while the wheel is spinning so you can feel the pick coming.
- Winning wedge fills in with stepped cyan bands the moment it stops, volume-meter style.
- Eruption, shockwaves, rays, and confetti in cyan and dusk accents.
- Laminated ticket with the winner's name in Anton SC, their entry position, the contest slug, and a barcode.
Important detail
The server picks the winner, not the wheel. The wheel is the reveal animation. The actual pick is a uniform random draw across the full entry pool, decided server-side before the wheel starts spinning. If your contest has thousands of entrants, every one of them has the same odds.
The wheel caps at 60 visible wedges so the visual stays clean on huge pools. The server still draws from every entry in the pool.
The three buttons
- Replay re-runs the exact same winner with the full animation. Use this to capture a clean screen recording without burning a real pick.
- Draw again asks the server for a new pick and runs the full sequence again. Use this if you have decided to draw multiple winners or want to redo the pick.
- Done closes the reveal.
Reduced motion
If your device has prefers-reduced-motion turned on, the wheel locks to the winner instantly with no animation. The laminated ticket and winner data still render.
Where the winner goes
The picked entry is stamped with status winner in your signup_list entries. You can see and manage winners back in the contest dashboard.
