How to Run a Scan-to-Enter Contest
- Make the entry page. Use a Google Form, a giveaway tool like Gleam, or build it here with a form QR code. Keep it to 3 fields: name, email and a consent box.
- Create a dynamic code. Paste the link above and save it as a dynamic code so you can change where it goes later.
- Say what they win. Keep a frame like “Scan to win” and put the prize and end date right next to the code. People scan when they know why.
- Close it cleanly. When the contest ends, point the code to a winners or thank-you page, so late scans still land somewhere useful.
Ideas that work
Where to Put a Contest QR Code
- Counter cards and table tents: "Scan to win a free coffee this month."
- Product packaging and receipts: enter with a scan, get the winners by email.
- Event booths and trade shows: collect leads with a prize draw instead of a fishbowl.
- Posters and flyers around town: one code per location shows which spot pulls the most entries.
- Social and email: the same entry link, so every channel counts in one list.
What is free
Free Code, Paid Entry Collection
The QR code itself is free. Linking it to a Google Form or a giveaway tool costs nothing extra, and a static code never expires. A dynamic code (1 free on the Free plan) adds scan counts and lets you change the link after printing.
If you want QRKit to collect the entries too, the built-in form takes submissions on Plus ($16 a month billed yearly), with CSV export and an email for each new entry. See pricing for every plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I make a QR code for a contest or giveaway?
- Set up the entry page first: a Google Form, a Gleam or other giveaway page, or a form built in QRKit. Paste its link into the generator on this page, add a frame that says what people win, then download and print the code wherever people will see it.
- Can QRKit collect the contest entries?
- Yes. Choose the Form type to build the entry form in QRKit, with name, email and consent fields. You can build and test it for free; collecting submissions, CSV export and an email for each new entry are on the Plus plan ($16 a month billed yearly).
- Should the contest QR code be static or dynamic?
- Dynamic. When the contest ends you can point the same printed code to a winners or thank-you page instead of a dead form, and you can see how many people scanned from each poster or location. QRKit gives you 1 dynamic code on the Free plan.
- Can I stop people from entering twice?
- Ask for an email address and remove duplicates from the entry list before you draw the winner. The CSV export opens in Excel or Google Sheets, where you can sort and dedupe in a few clicks.
- Do I need official rules for a QR code sweepstakes?
- In the US, a sweepstakes usually needs written official rules, a free way to enter (no purchase necessary) and clear eligibility and dates. Link the rules from your entry page. This is general information, not legal advice; check the rules for your state and platform.
