In this post, we take a look at Mother’s Day competition ideas that really work!
Mother’s day competition idea: photo, and video contests to collect user-generated content
Social media has become a key part of how we stay in touch and show our love for our families. So sharing Mother’s Day photos is a natural next step.
One of the most popular Mother’s Day promotions is a voting contest. Set up a theme, create an online gallery to show off the competition entries, and throw in a prize to incentivize your followers. Try to choose something that suits the day – and your brand.
For example, this beauty brand offered a mother-and-daughter treat. To take part, followers just had to share a selfie together with their moms. The winners would receive a luxury spa facial to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Remember that you can collect photos from moms or their children. In this promotion from Pizza Hut, moms shared their favorite hand-made Mother’s Day gifts.
If your followers are especially creative and engaged, then you could challenge them to a video contest. Ask users to record a quick message for their mothers – or their children! – and then share the videos in your online gallery.
Do you want to make your Mother’s Day Photo Contest even more fun? You can use the Easypromos PhotoFun app to personalize pictures with frames and stickers. Add your customized stickers to expose your corporate image.

Collect stories, memories and messages with your Mother’s Day competition
As we celebrate moms on Mother’s Day, it’s time to reflect on our relationships. The holiday brings up powerful emotions and memories for many people.
So another option for your Mother’s Day promotions is a heartfelt Writing Contest. You can ask followers to write as much or as little as you like.
For example, in this quick contest for Risata wines, followers just had to explain what they had planned for Mother’s Day. Three participants would win a $200 Lush gift card – perfect for Mother’s Day treats.
But this next contest offered a bigger challenge: participants had to write a short story about their mom. Because this contest required more effort, it had an even bigger prize. The winners would have an entire room of their house painted!
This is a perfect promotion to show you that any company can celebrate Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day competition idea: Gamified campaign
Gamification is the most recent trend in digital marketing, and it can really help you accomplish a wide variety of different marketing objectives. Gamified promotions increase engagement and entertain customers, and that leads to positive customer experiences. Implementing playable promotions into your Mother’s Day campaign can bring about fantastic results.
Take a look at the following Mother’s Day promotion idea. It’s an example of a Hidden Objects game that you can use for this year’s Mother’s Day campaign. Users search for flowers spread around the image for a chance to win a Mother’s Day bouquet!
Once the participants complete the challenge, they fill in a registration form to submit their entry. They get a chance to win while the organizer expands their mailing list.
The fact that the Hidden Objects game can be fully customized gives you endless possibilities. Have your customers look for your products or logos for a better brand experience.

But sometimes, you want something a bit simpler. If you want a contest that’s really easy to join, then the answer is an entry form sweepstakes. People just fill in their contact details to join the prize draw – no effort required.
Then you can use those contact details to follow up on your sales leads. You can customize the form to get specifically useful information for your brand. Just like other Mother’s Day promotions, make sure you offer a suitable incentive to motivate your followers.
We like this prize bundle from an Australian food brand. They gave away five hampers of Mother’s Day gifts among users who signed up. You could share products from your brand, or team up with other brands to share a goody bag with your followers.
Here’s another example that we created to help you visualize a Mother’s Day sweepstakes a bit better. Can you see how followers of a fragrance brand could register their contact details for a chance to win?

Recruit families to your brand with Mother’s Day campaigns
Finally, let’s take a look at one more contest type: Refer-a-Friend. Also known as a recruiters or recruitment contest, it’s a classic sweepstakes – with a twist.
First, your followers sign up with their contact details. But then, to increase their chances or qualify for the prize draw, they have to recruit more people to the competition.
This is perfect for Mother’s Day promotions. Share the contest, and ask your followers to recruit their moms to win. Or target your competition at moms, and encourage them to sign up their friends.
