How it works

Four steps from brief
to gallery.

We handle the platform. You handle the creative direction.

01

✏️

You set the prompts

Write custom photo prompts around your product, location, or campaign theme — or let our AI generate them for you. You stay in full creative control.

02

📲

Participants shoot in the app

Fans and customers join via invite code in the free ShotList iOS app. All submissions are sealed until the window closes — no copy-catting.

03

🗳️

Community votes

At reveal time, participants vote on the best shot per prompt. That built-in engagement loop keeps people coming back after the shooting ends.

04

🖼️

You get the gallery

Download every submission in full resolution, see the winners, and use the authentic user-generated content however you like. It's yours.

Why ShotList

Not another hashtag contest.

A purpose-built engagement platform with mechanics that actually make people participate.

🔒

Sealed submissions = no copy-catting

Unlike Instagram hashtag contests, no one sees what others submitted until time runs out. Every entry is original.

🎯

Curated prompts, not chaos

You control exactly what gets captured. Prompts guide participants toward the shots that tell your brand story.

🗳️

Voting drives sustained engagement

The reveal and vote window keeps participants active for days after shooting ends — not just the day of.

🤝

White-glove setup

ShotList walks you through campaign creation, prompt writing, and launch. You don't figure this out alone.

📊

Everything in one dashboard

Your brand portal shows submissions, participants, voting results, and winners — no scrolling through hashtags.

🔁

Reusable infrastructure

Run one campaign or twelve. Each challenge builds your presence inside an existing photography community.

Pricing

Flexible, tailored to you.

Brand plans are set per campaign size, frequency, and feature needs. No rigid public tiers — just a conversation about what you're trying to accomplish.

Factors include participant limits, number of campaigns, gallery export, featured placement, and white-glove support level.
