## Prompt

```text
Help me plan and write a social media giveaway or contest.

**Goal:** [followers / UGC / email sign-ups / launch awareness]
**Platform(s):** [LIST]
**Prize and value:** [WHAT, retail value, who provides it]
**Eligibility:** [countries, age minimum, employee exclusions]
**Dates:** [START, END, WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT]
**Partner brands (if any):** [NAMES]

Deliver:
1. Mechanics that serve the goal and follow the platform's promotion rules (e.g. don't require people to share to their own timeline or tag friends where the platform prohibits it). Note which rules I should verify on each platform's current policy page.
2. The announcement post, a reminder post, a last-chance post, and a winner announcement.
3. An official rules outline: sponsor, eligibility, how to enter, no purchase necessary, entry period, how winners are chosen, odds, prize details, how winners are notified and their response deadline, privacy, and the statement that the platform doesn't sponsor or endorse it.
4. A fair winner-selection and verification process, plus what to do if a winner doesn't respond.
5. How to spot and handle fake or bot entries.
6. Metrics to judge whether it worked beyond follower count.

Sweepstakes and contest laws vary by country and state; have the rules reviewed by a lawyer, especially for high-value prizes or multiple countries.
