Prizes!


Many contests and activities offer prizes to winners. So, what kind of prizes can you offer?

Gift points: Hopefully, you as a host, earned a lot of gift points during birthday week. Between contests, extra login gift points, and the many Messenger bots, a lot of gift points were earned on the site.

Reviews: Hosts can offer reviews as prizes.

Shop items: If the winner has a physical address listed, the host can send a gift from the WDC Shop.

Merit badges: Hosts can award a merit badge from the WDC listing or one they created. You can also send a physical copy of the merit badge to those with an address listed.

Awardicons: These are award icons that can be given to a particular item or to a member. These can look like little trophies, plaques, and ribbons.

You could also volunteer your time and help a new member set up an activity or help them judge.

Not all prizes have to be gift points. Perhaps a personalized poem or image would be nice. Think about something unique for your next contest or activity.

Hope you find this helpful!
