The Contest Builder: schedule a new contest
Of the two methods we offer for contest management, the Contest Builder is undoubtedly the most advanced and complete! However, this tool does require a slightly longer initial training period, but it's easy to get the hang of: we'll summarize everything in this article.
It's without doubt the most powerful and comprehensive of our tools, offering great flexibility and rich features.
With this in mind, the Contest Builder will be much more complete, quicker and easier to use on tablet or computer.
