Verify entrants and determine winners
This section explains how to confirm applicants, conduct lotteries, and manage winners.
Regardless of Contests type, the operations for confirming applicants, conducting lotteries, managing winners, and sending DMs are common.
About the Applicant List
Contests applicants can be managed as "Applicants," "Winners," and "Candidate Winners."
- Applicants
- These are the applicants for the Contests.
- Includes winners and candidate winners.
- Applicants will be in one of the following states: "Winner," "Candidate Winner," or "Neither a Winner nor a Candidate Winner."
- Winners
- These are the winners.
- Candidate Winners
- "Candidate Winners" can be managed in case a winner declines or cannot be contacted.
Opening the Applicant List
A list of users who meet the application requirements can be viewed (even during the application period).

- From the menu, click Contests.
- In the row of the target Contests, click [Applicants].
- It takes some time for a user's Follow/Unfollow action to be reflected in the applicant list.
- Even if a user who has reposted later deletes the Reposts, they will not be removed from the applicant list.

Conducting a Lottery
After the application period ends, you can conduct a lottery to randomly determine "Winners" and "Candidate Winners."
- On the applicant list screen, click [Lottery].
- Enter the number of "Winners" and "Candidate Winners."

- Click [Lottery].
- The specified number of users will become "Winners" or "Candidate Winners."
Users Excluded from the Lottery
Users who have already been selected as winners or candidate winners will be excluded from the lottery.
Manually Add, Exclude, or Promote Winners
Without using the lottery function, you can manually select individual winners or exclude winners/candidate winners.
- For the target Contests, open "Winners" or "Candidate Winners."
- Operate using the buttons in the "Add to List" column.
- Manually register/promote winners: "Add to Winners" (trophy)
- Exclude winners/candidate winners: "Delete from Winners" (trophy) / "Delete from Candidate Winners" (star)
